More than 87% of Guinea (30 of 48 people groups) is unreached. A gap in healthcare also exists for expectant mothers and children. As a result, the infant mortality rate is almost 20 times higher than in Canada.
In response to this considerable need, we will be partnering with the national church Alleluia Church and global workers, Phil and Judy Bowler, to plant 1,000 churches over the next ten years, targeting these unreached people groups. We will also be heavily involved in helping with the operation of the Sonfonia Health and Training Centre, a pediatric clinic and training centre for both pastors and lay leaders.
While living in the capital city of Conakry, we will specifically seek to reach the next generation, disciple new believers, and care for those in need all across the country. We will engage in Bible studies, planting house churches, ChildCARE Plus, disciple-making movements, and missions training programs.
Upon graduating from a Pentecostal Bible college in the DR Congo, I (Innocent) pastored for over 10 years in both the DR Congo and Rwanda. I then became the secretary general of the Association of the Pentecostal Churches of Rwanda (ADEPR) for six years. After moving to Canada, I served as the assistant pastor at Gospel Centre Pentecostal Church in Edmonton, Alberta for two years. I then planted Goshen Christian Assembly in the same city. I (Immaculee) have recently been a healthcare aide, who cares deeply about people’s holistic wellbeing. Both of us have worked bi-vocationally while pastoring at Goshen Christian Assembly. A few years ago, the Holy Spirit stirred in our hearts to go back to Africa. In obedience to God’s call, we are ready to go to Guinea.
