Asumu has been General Secretary of the IRPGE since 2009. The IRPGE is set up in a typical Presbyterian system (Presbyterianism). Equatorial Guinea is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa. The people in senior positions within the IRPGE speak Spanish and frequently French as a second language. Many church members do not understand Spanish very well, but mostly communicate in their local languages. Church networks The incorporation into national and international church networks such as the Council of Evangelical Churches of Equatorial Guinea (CIEGE), the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC) or the World Council of Churches (WCC) is indispensable for the functioning IRPGE. The connection to the Presbyterian Church of Cameroon (EPC) appears to be still quite influential in terms of organisation, administration and education. In relation to the ordination of women, the IRPGE abides by the regulations of the EPC and does not ordinate women to date. THE IRPGE is member of WCC (World Council of Churches)—worldwide fellowship of 349 churches that seek unity, a common witness, and Christian service WCRC (World Communion of Reformed Churches)—the largest and oldest of the four worldwide, international groupings of Reformed churches AACC (All Africa Conference of Churches)—African fellowship of Christian churches and institutions working together in a common witness to the gospel CIEGE (Council of Evangelical Churches of Equatorial Guinea)—equatoguinean fellowship of churches that "confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour, according to the scriptures, and therefore seek to fulfil together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" Activities The IRPGE engages in projects concerning theological formation, health and education. With the support of the IRPGE, a variety of spacious buildings such as churches, dispensaries, schools and kindergartens have been or are being built in different congregations. The amelioration of infrastructure in education and health normally generates financial revenues for the respective congregation. It nevertheless does not benefit the general church administration. Newly built churches seem relatively spacious and luxurious in comparison to the number of members. The activities and the commitment of the members of the Women’s Association are proof for very dynamic and strong groups of women that have worked together since 1948, during the existence of the IRGE. Today, the association has a national president and meets every three months. It is organized in three committees: Development (e.g. crop production such as bananas. The revenues flow into development
