Ministry in Angola

Angola is a nation of 12 million people
about twice the size of Texas on the western coast of Africa. Dickie and
her late husband Bill were missionaries there for 14 years during a civil war
that ended in 2002. Angola has a very young population with the median age
being 18 years. It has one of the highest fertility rates in the world at
6.35 children per woman compared to 2.09 in the United States and 1.06 in
Singapore.
The Assemblies of God is strong and growing
in Angola. In April 2006 Galen and Dickie were privileged to attend the
dedication of a tabernacle at Living Water Assembly of God in the capital city
of Luanda. They financed the tabernacle in memory of Dickie's late husband Bill
from funds given for Dickie's African missions work. They also ministered
in several churches and at the Assemblies of God Bible school in Luanda.
