Draft:Vases d'Honneur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vases d'Honneur Church (Vessel for Honor) is a postcolonial french-speaking Ivorian Church born in 2002. It is part of the movement of growth of "transnational religious enterprises in West Africa" which has been unfolding since the beginning of the 21st century.[1] Established on three continents, it was founded by Mohammed Sanogo, an Ivorian Pentecostal pastor of Muslim origin.

This Church is emblematic of the Ivorian evangelical growth which has recomposed itself after years of unrest and "mystical wars".[2] Vases d'Honneur was established in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) from a pre-existing ministry, "Messages de Vie".[3]

It relies on a main assembly, the Vases d'Honneur megachurch of the Kodesh center, in Abidjan, in the Cocody district, and on a network of assemblies in Ivory Coast, in West Africa, but also in Europe and North America.
