African Enterprise

Have supported AE almost since its inception many years ago. Always feel it is money well used. If you have a heart for Africa, I recommend supporting AE's people and work.

These folks combine social service with evangelism, and also reach out to the youth. I went on a tour to South Africa in 1998 to see their work and was very impressed. Their workers are a mixture of races in a very race-conscious country. They are very successful.
They keep us contributors up to date with a monthly calendar of prayer requests and an occasional newsletter. I have never had any problem with them.

I worked in Africa for 17 Years, in Zimbabwe for five years and in Niger for twelve. In Zimbabwe, in 1985, I found out about African Enterprise. One of the young pastors in our church in Gweru had come to know the Lord through an evangelistic visit of AE to his secondary boarding school. He continues as pastor to the present. When I returned to the US, in 1991, I started to support AE regularly, and to the present.

For three reasons I believe AE is such an important and effective ministry in Africa. First: Africa is increasingly urban. Forty percent, according to Operation World (2010). AE conducts evangelistic outreaches in the largest urban areas. They use a multipronged approach. By preparing for months, and invlolving the local church, they focus on places of work, prisons, schools and hospitals, all simutaneously for a week or ten days. This adds up to a much greater impact for the Gospel.

Secondly, Africa has a huge youth population (41.2% under 15, Operation World, 2010). Many of these young people are poor and not well educated. AE not only evangelizes this young population but provides practical career training, alongside discipleship training. Through their Foxfire program, they train young evangelists to work in teams in rural and urban areas.

Thirdly, the country leaders are all African. They know their people well and how best to reach them.

African Enterprise was born in southern Africa and has continued steadily for seven decades, planting the seed of the Gospel, in word and deed as well as reaping and discipling. I highly recommend them as an effective, seasoned ministry, well worth supporting!

African Enterprise is an awesome ministry serving the people of Africa. They are sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and making an eternal impact. Shaping the lives of these people on a daily level. This ministry has been in place for over 60 years.

African Enterprise just exudes the work of The Lord! The work they do to reach the people in Africa and bring them to know Jesus and grow the Kingdom is just awesome. I am so grateful Jamie and the staff of African Enterprise for their faithful servanthood and their heart to reach the people in Africa to continue to grow the Kingdom and spread the Gospel.

As a former intern with African Enterprise in 1993, it is with great admiration I continue to pray for and support this ministry. Michael Cassidy, its founder, and his team of leaders, ministers and volunteers, have dedicated theirs lives to seeing salvation and freedom come to all regardless of race and status.

African Enterprise is an honorable nonprofit

Wonderful Ministry helping so many through Word and Deed throughout Africa.

African Enterprise is an amazing example of what it means answer the call to be the hands and feet of Jesus here on earth. As an evangelism based ministry, they are dedicated to sharing the Gospel with people in cities throughout Africa. Teams through a multitude of countries are truly invested in the communities they reach and the team behind the scenes making this work possible is a blessing. During COVID this ministry shifted operationally and met people exactly where they were, filling needs for food, sanitation supplies and education to keep safe. I pray God continues to do powerful work through this ministry and the people it's reaching!

African Enterprise works from the heart doing so much good for so many in Africa. We need more of this sort of faithful dedication wherever we can find it!

I came to know African Enterprise in 1994.
I have participated in events that the African Enterprise has sponsored, which have led to transformation of communities. I have also interacted with emerging leaders developed by African Enterprise who have become agents of transformation in their organizations, communities, regions, and nations.

My church has been partnering with African Enterprise for years and years! We are so encouraged with all of the work they are doing to spread the Gospel across Africa. I am especially impressed with how they have handled the pandemic and found new ways to meet people where they are at and show them Jesus.

I have witnessed many successful humanitarian projects accomplished by African Enterprise in Kenya and the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. These projects involved the establishment of eight deep water wells (boreholes), a 750 thousand liter covered water reservoir and a successful micro-finance program that positively impacted thousands of people. During this same period African Enterprise helped broker a lasting peace accord between two of the largest warring tribes in East Africa. Many lives have been changed and saved and many of whom will spend eternity in Heaven thanks to the commitment and eternal vision of African Enterprise and especially their U.S., Australia and Kenya Teams.

African Enterprise has been one of our church outreach partners for over 15 years. The work they are doing in Africa is truly transformational, both physically and spiritually. We are grateful for their partnership and the opportunity to come alongside their ministry and participate in God's work in Africa.

African Enterprise is a wonderful organization that is doing some incredible work. I think because of their name, they often get confused with being a microenterprise. But they are so much more! Their mission is to share the love of Christ in word and deed throughout Africa. But it's not just a bunch of ex-pats that are doing the work. They train up local African people to do the work. One aspect of African Enterprise's work that I am especially drawn to is the Street Children Apprenticeship Project. They help kids who are on the streets, many who are orphans. They equip them with skills that help them escape a cycle of poverty. They learn a trade such as tailoring, hairdressing, aluminum fabrication, and auto repair. This is just one of part of their ministry... If you have a heart for Africa, I recommend learning more about this ministry, and consider supporting this wonderful cause.

African Enterprise has been amazing to work with. Their heart for the African continent is evident from the first encounter! With Covid-19 showing up in 2020 I watched as they shifted and changed course in how they approach ministry, meeting the needs of others, and what it looks like to love people well in a time of isolation for most of the countries they work in. If you have a chance, work with these guys, you will not be disappointed!

I was drawn to African Enterprise first by the incredible testimony of the changed life of Stephen Lungu. After being moved by his story, I had to learn more. Over time, I would hear more miraculous testimonies of lives changed. The heart and dedication of all the servants of AE is encouraging and life changing (even to me who sits on another continent far away) I want to be a part of this important work by supporting their mission. I was changed and amazed to see how God is working through AE to bring hope, healing and salvation to so many.

I went to Rwanda through AE and visited the Center For Champions and saw the work they are doing there. Through the Center they are helping young men and women in amazing ways; teaching them life skills so that they can provide for themselves when they are adults. They also teach them about God's love for them and how He can change their lives in many ways. Truly an amazing experience!

Been my honor to be involved with this wonderful ministry for more than 40 years. They have remained faithful to their God given calling to help local churches evangelize cities all over Africa through Word and Deed. They firmly believed that the local church is the most effective agent for change in society. I continue to admire their effectiveness especially through programs like the Foxfires who are impacting young people. And so much more.. Most certainly worthy of every encouragement.

I have known African Enterprise for many years and had the privilege of seeing their leaders and evangelists in action from Egypt to South Africa. Their goal is to reach the cities of Africa in Word and Deed in partnership with the local church, and that is what they are doing. I continue to be so impressed with the high caliber of their leaders -- godly, humble men and women who truly have a heart to reach their nations with the light and gospel of Christ. Partnering with AE is a chance to invest in real, on the ground ministry, that is changing lives all over Africa. I support AE monthly and hope that more and more people will join in helping to make this ministry happen.

I am very grateful for the information that I have received from AE about the many countries in Africa where the ministry reaches out. It is such a challenge to meet all the needs of Africa in terms of spiritual, educational and developmental issues. I am so grateful for all that AE does to strengthen the church around the continent and to bring encouragement, renewal, reconciliation in and among the African people who have such joy often amidst suffering. I love how AE works with local churches across the denominational spectrum, as well as other parachurch organizations, to harness synergistic cooperation among Christians committed to the evangelism and discipleship of Africa. My husband and I have supported AE for more than 50 years and it is one of the most effective and exciting ministries I have ever encountered, especially since it is a global partnership that is led by Africans, who know their own languages and contexts far better than do outsiders.

African Enterprise is one of God's chosen vehicles to unite the church in caring for their communities in Africa. The vision to evangelise the cities of Africa in word and deed in partnership with the church has mobilised thousands of volunteers and supporters, including wonderful teams from across the world. This is a group in the right place at the right time.

I love AE because its goal is to help people in Africa. There are a lot of people who don't know Jesus yet, and African Enterprise helps to change their lives in spectacular ways. I give money to AE, because I fully believe and support what they are doing in Africa. I think that as many people as possible should give to African Enterprise too!

I have been giving to African Enterprise for about four years and I love the evangelistic work that they are doing in Africa! This is a great nonprofit organization that I think everyone should donate too!

I have been around many great non-profit organizations and boards throughout the years but African Enterprise has always held an incredibly special place in my heart. I have never come across any organization doing evangelism and good works in Africa that is as respected by all denominations and leaders, inside and outside Africa, as AE. It is the epitome of a grass roots organization that is trusted by African leaders (church and secular) and by a wide range of Christian ministries around the world because of their effectiveness in changing lives, faithfulness to the Gospel, careful attention to both detail and relationships, broad ecumenical appeal and world, history changing work. Some of the most powerful change that has happened in Africa in recent years (including the ending of apartheid and 1984 free elections in South Africa) have AE's fingerprints all over them. It is such a privilege to be part of the AE family.

African Enterprise has a holistic understanding of the gospel and applies that well in the countries in which they work. Having lived in South Africa for 16 years, I have met their leadership and have seen the fruit of their efforts up close. I was always impressed with those who came through their leadership development programs. AE's thoughtful, holistic approach to ministry was what convinced me that I should get involved serving on the African Enterprise USA board.

I’ve served on the board for five+ years and have travels to Africa several times to meet staff and leaders and experience the ministry up close. The organization is careful to manage its funds and resources with integrity. The all-African leadership cares deeply for the the lost and needy on their continent. For more than 50 years, AE has effectively ministered in Africa.

African Enterprise performs crucial work as they spread the gospel throughout Africa. More than that, AE performs acts of love that transcend cultures and languages and in doing so, they make Christ's love tangible to so many who desperately need it. I have known Jamie Morrison, the U.S. Director of AE for over 30 years and he conducts his work with integrity and passion day in and day out. I cannot say enough good things about AE and I am happy to support them and to pray for them.

I so appreciate the work that is being done by African Enterprise. If you need convincing, just read "Out of the Dark Shadows," by Steven Lungu, a current evangelist with AE. I particularly appreciate the fact that AE works with existing governments and churches in Africa, not only showing a respect for the people and their culture, but also the conviction that change must come from within. The personnel at AE in America, with whom I've come in contact, have always been gracious, appreciative, and helpful. I was recently impressed, inspired and informed by a presentation on the history and work of AE given by Jamie Morrison and Katie
Bordner in the Spokane, Washington office. I have no doubt that my contributions are being well spent to ease the suffering of the African people and to to share the life-giving truth of the Gospel with them.

I love that African Enterprise reaches all levels of society in the cities of Africa, from the school children, to the prisoner, to the top government and business leadership. I have had the joy of seeing their evangelists in action, preaching, teaching and reaching out to many with compassion and a solid focus on Jesus Christ. African Enterprise, with its long history of reaching out to leadership has, in many effective and tangible ways, brought Kingdom transformation to the continent.

African Enterprise has a very practical approach to pointing people to Jesus. They have been integral to bringing justice and peace in many conflict situations in Africa. They work at grassroots level, all the way to the top to address systemic injustice and share the Gospel. And don't waste a lot of money on slick or trendy presentation, which is something I value in an organization.

This is an amazing ministry! They care so much about people and really care about their donors and about sending as much money as they can toward evangelizing in Africa, as well as their programs like the Center for Champions or the Prostitute Rehab. Keep up the good work!

Seeing the wonderful work that is done without pride or expecting any reward on a day to day level is truly magnificent.
They are truly changing people lives

For the past five years, I have been serving as a missionary volunteer for African Enterprise in Rwanda, Africa. Serving in Africa is a challenge and I have seen many NGO's that miss the mark. It is refreshing to work with professional locals that really understand the needs of the culture and the people. Also, sometimes it is frustrating but African Enterprise America and Rwanda work hard to make sure that there is full transparency when it come to funds that are being used. This often leads to lots of paperwork before funds are released but I would rather have extra paperwork and make sure the projects receive the funding they were promised and avoid the alternative, to not have the funds go to the projects that they were allocated to. I have seen this with so may other NGO's. The staff at African Enterprise has a very clear cut vision and mission and it has been a pleasure to volunteer and be a part of the team.

AFrican Enterprise has been doing a significant work for the Lord and is recognized for quality ministry in a number of African countries, especially in South Africa. Michael Cassidy did an excellent job of establishing the work, which came from a vision that God had given to him. Festo was also a remarkable national leader until God called him home.

African Enterprise has been a faithful nonprofit functioning for close to 50 years. I have been associated with the ministry for 42 of those years and have witnessed nothing other than integrity, and care as the ministry relates to people and carefully stewards the funds it receives that go to nothing other than fulfilling its mission and vision - to evangelize the cities of Africa. African Enterprise has functioned according to biblical standards of integrity, honesty, and faithfulness and has been an integral part of winning and discipling people for Christ.

This is a world-changing evangelistic and justice ministry to the continent of Africa. I was with their evangelists, national teams and youth for 10 days in Soweto South Africa. They are the real thing!

This non-profit organization is full of compassion and care. I love the way that they help lead leaders to Christ. The Executive Director keeps the issues close in his heart and is always very grateful for each donor specifically.

Very genuine and caring! The Director himself called to thank me for my partnership with them. Because of some of my specific interests, he gave me a book that was a testimony of one of African Enterprise' leaders.
This touched me so much, I actually bought a second book to share with a friend.

I felt special as a donor, but I also know that the work they are doing in Africa has had a large and lasting impact. They helped South Africa have their first peaceful democratic election. I'm so proud to be friends with African Enterprise!
