Angola

Info
BMS World Mission first became involved in northern Angola in 1879. In 1961 there were 31 BMS missionaries working in the area, involved in education, medical and church work. All BMS workers were evacuated after the War of Independence began in 1961. Since then, BMS has continued to support the work of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Angola (IEBA). BMS has given several relief grants to help the country's problems. In 2002, a peace declaration ended 40 years of civil war in Angola.
