Founder and Executive Director of Breakthrough Partners - Côte d'Ivoire, Ouattara Koffi Tehua is also the executive director of the Evangelical Federation of Côte d’Ivoire and leader of Samaritan Strategy Côte d’Ivoire. He pastors a church outside of Abidjan, the nation's capital. Koffi is married to Celine and has two young children. He was chosen to represent the evangelicals of Côte d’Ivoire in Washington DC in the Spring of 2010 to discuss how to strengthen a peaceful future for Côte d’Ivoire. Read the document that emerged from this strategic meeting.

Koffi heads up a network of pastors from 6500 churches across the nation, connecting together and working with business, community and government leaders for the benefit of the entire country. Peace and unity, the prosperity of the people, leadership development and women and children are their focus. This group has translated and printed a practical workbook teaching worldview change and community engagement into colloquial French.

In partnership with Koffi and his team and network of churches, and in conjunction with The Chalmers Center for Economic Development at Covenant College, we have conducted a Christian Economic Development Institute (CEDI). Click here to find out more about this training.

Koffi and Breakthrough Partners - Côte d’Ivoire work with us to mentor, coach, facilitate regional meetings, assist and aid in partnership and economic development and survey the results. Rebuilding communities through local leadership is central to our purpose. Without self-sustaining institutions, there is no hope for long-term peace and reconciliation in Côte d’Ivoire.
