)The Association of Reformed Evangelical Churches of Burkina Faso or Eglises evangéliques réformées du Burkina Faso, abbreviated AEERB, was started in 1977 by Pastor Kinza Lazare with 30 members. It separated from the Pentecostal Assemblies of God, a
Presbyterian tradition. The association was officially established in 1986. Local congregations concentrated mainly in the northern part of the country, and Ouagadougou. This work focused on the north side of the country.[1]
