In a ceremony held in Libreville, Gabon, on October 5, 2026, Thierry Ndong Nang was officially installed as the head of the provisional administration of the Evangelical Church of Gabon (EEG). The event was attended by politico-administrative officials, members of the committee of wise men, and numerous faithful. The installation marks a significant step towards the election of a new president of the church.
The president of the committee of wise men, Clément Obame Mezui, handed over the mission to the new administrators, stating that they were being installed to exercise the ministry of service entrusted to them. He prayed for the God of peace to heal the church, restore trust among its children, and guide the EEG towards a peaceful and fraternal synod.
Thierry Ndong Nang, in his address, called for the new stage to be placed under the sign of faith and responsibility. He emphasized that the administration would carry out its duties with humility and fear of God, guided by the declaration of faith that recognizes the Holy Scriptures as the sovereign authority and rule of faith and life.
Ndong Nang acknowledged the weight of the task ahead and stressed the need for swift action. The provisional administration has been given three months to prepare and organize the national synod, with the goal of achieving a peaceful, transparent, and fraternal election of the new church president.
The EEG has been without a president for some time, and the installation of the provisional administration is seen as a crucial step towards restoring stability and normalcy to the church. The administrators will work tirelessly to ensure that the synod is well-prepared and that the election is conducted in a manner that is acceptable to all stakeholders.
The ceremony was attended by several prominent personalities, and a photo of the new administrators was taken with the committee of wise men and other dignitaries. The EEG is one of the largest Christian denominations in Gabon, and the installation of the provisional administration is expected to have a positive impact on the country's Christian community.
The EEG's provisional administration is now tasked with the responsibility of guiding the church towards a successful synod and the election of a new president. With Ndong Nang at the helm, the administration is expected to work closely with various stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and a bright future for the church.
