===Historical Background=== | |||
The origins of the church go back to evangelistic work begun in 1950 by missionaries from the USA. They were later joined by missionaries from the Portuguese Assemblies of God. In 1974, when Angola became independent, the church took the name of Evangelical Pentecostal Mission of Angola. <ref>"Evangelical Pentecostal Mission of Angola", World Council of Churches, https://www.oikoumene.org/en/member-churches/evangelical-pentecostal-mission-of-angola, accessed 17 March 2020.</ref> | |||
