In 1985, Mamadou Karambiri, general manager in a company, started a prayer group with his family which reached 500 people in 1987.[1] The church was founded in 1987 in Ouagadougou.[2][3]

In the 1990s, nearly 60 churches were planted in Ouagadougou and in different cities of the country.[4] Churches have also been established in other cities abroad.
