Churches that make up the Evangelical and Pentecostal Protestantism in Benin began to lay their roots in 1944. Starting in the 1990’s, however, Protestantism underwent considerable development thanks to political change in the country in that same year: an evolution from the Marxist-Leninist anti-religious regime to a democratic regime advocating freedom of worship. This development is both quantitative and qualitative. From the quantitative point of view, it occurs at three levels: first at the denominational level, of which 402 new denominations were recorded between 1990 and 2008 (22 per year) compared to 36 between 1944 and 1989 ; then in places of worship, which proliferated, reaching over 3000 in 2002; finally at the membership growth level, as in 2001, Evangelicals and Pentecostals valued their numbers to 35% of the total population. From a qualitative standpoint, by 1990, the Evangelical and Pentecostal churches began to organize themselves became institutionalized. Indeed, constrained in the past by the Marxist-Leninist regime to stay within the Protestant Interfaith Council of Benin (regrouping all the churches but the Roman Catholic Church) chaired by the Methodist Protestant Church President in Benin, they were from this point on specified as a group distinct from others within the Christian landscape, and thus formed evangelical associations or federations such as the Federation of Protestant Churches and Missions of Benin (FEMEB), the Council of Protestant Churches and Evangelicals in Benin (CEPEB), The Association of Evangelical Churches of Benin (AEEB), the Association of Missions, Ministries and Churches of Benin (AMMEB) and the Union of Evangelical Churches and Missions of Benin, all of the former mentioned under the auspices of the Collective of Associations of Evangelical Benin. In order to give adequate training to their ministers, most of whom were previously without pastoral training, Evangelical and Pentecostal churches have opened a few educational institutions that welcome applicants from all churches. Still within the context of this institutionalization, about five years later a radio station named Radio “Maranatha” was established in Cotonou in 1998, and a second station was opened in the town of Parakou (North) in August 2003. Both Radio Maranatha stations (Cotonou and Parakou) are a valuable evangelistic tool for Evangelical and Pentecostal churches in Benin
