The Transforming Word Project

Works & Missions Protestant Baptist Church International

The initial missioneering project of Dimensions in Kingdom Living (DIKL) targets the thriving mega-church in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The Works and Missions Protestant Baptist Church International (EPBOMI) has exceeded 350,000 participating members and is projected to surmount 700,000 by the year 2025. God has had His hand on the leadership of this worldwide congregation for nearly 50 years.

The Transforming Word Project will enable the church to continue to expand and reach the French-speaking world as well as send missioneers to assist the mission by providing much needed printed material in French for evangelism and discipleship.

This projectis being pursued in memory of Jack Taylor, who visited this church often and loved her pastor and people. Through the Transforming Word Project in Memory of Jack Taylor, his legacy will live on through this vibrant and growing congregation.

Pastor Dion Robert is the founding pastor of the Protestant Works and Missions Baptist Church International and launched the congregation in 1975 with his wife, daughter, and himself. 47+ years later, the membership has steadily increased to over 350,000 active participants in ministry. Pastor Dion has built a global church with congregations meeting in several nations, including the US. He is committed to this project and passionate about advancing the Kingdom through printed material.

Print-on-Demand (POD) Services

The photos above were taken at the 2023 CIAMEL evangelism conference in Korhogo, 400 miles north of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Over 35,000 attended with nearly 1500 coming to Christ for the first time. Since 2021, over 30 ew congregations have been planted in the area with one of over 1000 members opened the week of the conference.

The rapid move of God in the region has excellerated the need for printed material for discipleship and continued evangelism. The POD services were never more need than now.
