African Enterprise was founded in 1961 by a South African, Michael Cassidy, with the express mission: "To evangelize the cities of Africa, through word and deed, in partnership with the Church."
We are a Christian interdenominational, multicultural ministry, encompassing four key areas, all with the final goal of building God's Kingdom through touching lives with His gospel and His word. These four areas are:
- Evangelism
- Aid & Development
- Reconciliation & Justice
- Leadership Development
Our scope is all of urban Africa. AE leaders are African nationals that work with local church and parachurch leaders to mobilize congregations in outreach to African cities. Sixteen or more strategic cities are being reached this way each year. AE's ultimate vision is to see an Africa of peace and justice through the spiritual renewal and transformed lives of thousands of people.
There are currently ten African teams in Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe as well as Pan African teams for Mission and Reconciliation. These offices are in partnership with support Boards around the world in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. The whole organisation is governed by an International Partnership Board. The partnership holds to the Lausanne Covenant as our statement of faith.
