Development of the church in switzerland and around the world

H.-E. Alexander alongside Colonel Albin Peyron from 1912 to 1916 participated in many envagelization campaigns that gave Switzerland its awakening. The revival of Switzerland began in 1910 and continued over a decade. By 1916, H.-E. Alexander had devoted himself to teaching and his ministry of apologetics..

Noting that the so-called new theology, jeopardized the faith of the young converted, they published a monthly biblical teaching, « The Witness » and created « The Biblical Alliance. « In 1919 he opened a » Missionary Bible School at Ried on Biel. A few years later, the United Bible became « L’Action Biblique and a Bible School was established in Cologny, it subsequently became the Bible Institute of Geneva.  See the website of the Bible Institute of Geneva IBG (website primarily in French).

Through the ministry of former students, the missionary outreach of the Action Biblique extends to Italy, Yugoslavia, Spain, Portugal, North Africa, Egypt, Lebanon, India, Central Asia and West Africa and Brazil. Many of these early missionaries go simply by relying on God and the exercise of their profession to support themselves. The spread of Sacred Scripture, the preaching of the Gospel biblical teaching gave birth to churches united by a single confession of faith. Today Action Biblique churches have formed associations in Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, France, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland.
