Equatorial Guinea

Description

Equatorial Guinea is a nation found in the center of Africa, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Even though the region has a long and eventful history, the country as a whole is just a few decades old. The Portuguese were the first in the Gulf of Guinea during the European colonial expansion between the 15th and 16th centuries. However, given that their primary purpose was to circumnavigate Africa to arrive in India, they never actually set foot on the continent. Instead, they confined their efforts to constructing ports on the islands and along the coastlines.

The discovery of oil within their maritime boundaries led to a meteoric rise in their country’s economic output. But almost no investments or profits brought into the country over more than twenty years have ever been transferred to improve the quality of life in the region. On the contrary, the abundance of oil wealth has been a significant scourge.

According to the Human Development Index that the United Nations developed in 2020, Equatorial Guinea was placed in the 145th position out of 189, equal to having a low quality of life. This index included 189 different countries. In addition, there is a pervasive aura of social and political repression at all times. Nevertheless, Equatorial Guinea has a literate population of 95%, making it the country with the second-best literacy rate on the African continent.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.

We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
