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.
On November 2, 1998, the Bible training center, Le Chandelier, located near the CIE premises in Ouagadougou opened its doors.[5] In 2010, the church founded Impact TV.[6] The CIE had 6000 members in 2010.[7][8]
