Equatorial Guinea
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) first sent mission workers to the island of Corisco, Equatorial Guinea, in 1850 and the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Equatorial Guinea (IRPGE) has grown from that effort. Unfortunately, Presbyterians experienced severe restrictions imposed by the Spanish colonial government and later by the first president of independent Equatorial Guinea. Our support of the IRPGE focuses on their strong work in education, efforts by the women’s association to provide health care in rural communities, church leadership development, and the training of lay pastors for rural new church development.
With 25 ordained pastors and roughly the same number of congregations, the Reformed Presbyterian Church makes its presence felt through quality education at Resurrection School. The church is also preparing to train catechists or lay pastors to better reach out to rural communities. The church is also working to build unity across inter-ethnic divides that are prevalent in society.
