The Assemblies of God started in Mauritius when Mr. Aimé Cizeron, a Missionary from the Assemblies of God in France came to Mauritius in October 1967. The first meetings he had were in the Municipal Hall Alex Vellin in Beau Bassin. Only a few people attended these meetings until one evening a lady who was demon possessed started screaming and yelling. She was so furious that she fell to the ground breaking all the chairs she found on her way. The Missionary was taken aback and thought that the incident would put a stop to his evangelical meetings. It was in fact the contrary that happened. God's ways are not our ways. The screaming of that lady attracted the passers‑by and in a few minutes the hall was packed with people. For the first time in their lives they saw the power of the Lord Jesus Christ manifested. The demon was rebuked in the Name of Jesus Christ and in a split second the lady was set free this deliverance was the incident that ignited the revival that happened in Mauritius. The next day the attendance doubled and many people were healed in the name of Jesus These meetings became the talk of the day and people from every nook and corner of Mauritius attended the meetings to see the signs and wonders the Lord Jesus was performing through the hands of the Missionary. In the space of a week Mr. Cizeron had to double and triple the number of meetings. The hall had become too small and people were waiting outside for the next meetings so that they may be healed. The only solution was to find a bigger place to hold open-air meetings.

                    God provided the place. Right in the center of Rose Hill, which is the third biggest town of Mauritius, Mr. Cizeron found some fallow land in front of a big movie house called <<Cinema Hall». It was there that the big crusade, which lasted a whole month, took place. People from all over the island came to listen to the good news of the Gospel and to be healed. The meetings were scheduled for midday but as early as 7 a.m. people were coming to select the best place under the shady trees to witness the Power of God.

                 When the meetings started, the atmosphere was awesome and everybody felt the presence of God. After preaching the Word of God the Missionary prayed for the sick. People called it the <<miracle prayer>> and the sick were asked to lay their hands where they were suffering in their body. God touched the people at that very moment and all kinds of signs and wonders began to happen. A young boy who suffered from polio was healed and started screaming not because he was sick but because his foot had straightened up and had become of the same length as the other one and the straps holding it were hurting him. People touched the car in which: he Missionary was traveling and they were healed.

                    Mauritius had never seen such wonders and had never before been exposed to the full Gospel. During the same period, Missionary Cizeron held similar meetings in the evening at the Champ de Mars in Port Louis. The Champ de Mars is a famous racecourse. He had the same results and the attendance grew to 7,000 daily and this caused several traffic jams.
Unfortunately these wonderful meetings came to an end. Mauritius was on the eve of getting its independence and fighting had started between the Creoles and the Muslims and it turned so sour that Government had to impose a curfew and no open-air meeting was authorized. Out of those big crowds that attended those crusades only a few were converted. Anyway the first two Assemblies of God were established in Rose Hill in Port Louis, the Capital. The political situation soon returned to normal and Mauritius became independent on the 12th March 1968. During his stay in the Island from October 1967 to May 1972, Missionary Aimé Cizeron planted seven more churches. To day the Assemblies of God have grown to over one hundred and twenty churches all over Mauritius and may have reached a membership of over 6% of the entire population.
