Our Locations

Our passion to proclaim the Gospel is carried out primarily through evangelistic outreaches, or ‘missions’ , in the major cities of Africa. We believe that all people – from street children to presidents – need to hear and be changed by the Gospel!

Democratic Republic of the Congo

African Enterprise has been involved throughout the DRC’s history, establishing a formal office in 1995. The Team Leader for AE DRC is Leonard Kiswangi. Primarily, the DRC Team works in a peace building and reconciliation capacity, training Congolese leaders through workshops on how to positively respond to conflict. The DRC Team has also invested significantly in reaching the young people of the DRC where over 40 percent of the population is under the age of 15.

Ethiopia 

Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, is the site of the African Enterprise Ethiopia office. AE has been formerly involved in the nation since 1996. AE Ethiopia Team Leader Dr. Melisachew Mesfin has been directing the team since 2003. Mel’s passion is running Student Discipleship Programs in universities throughout the nation and forms the bulk of AE Ethiopia programs. The ‘Building the Church of Tomorrow, Today’ Student Discipleship Program teach and equipped 19,000 students annually with the skills to overcome their fear of man and proclaim the Gospel fearlessly. Further, Gospel proclamation occurs annually through city-wide missions.

Ghana

Kenya

Kenya is one of the oldest African Enterprise field offices–set up in 1976! Rev. Benson Omondi is the Team Leader for AE Kenya. This team has faithfully continued to proclaim the Gospel for many years through large scale missions and social action projects throughout the country. Social action projects include Women’s Rehabilitation and Empowerment project at Mathare, Foxfires youth evangelist team, peace and reconciliation projects and a sanitation project at Korogocho slum. City-wide missions continue to be carried out annually across Kenya.

Malawi

In 1984, African Enterprise formally opened an office in the capital of Malawi, Lilongwe and the team has been tirelessly proclaiming the Gospel and showing love in the urban places through city-wide missions and numerous social action projects ever since. The current AE Malawi Team Leader is Enoch Phiri. One of the largest development projects in Malawi is the Malawi Women Tailoring Program in Lilongwe training women with the necessary skills to bring them out of a poverty cycle they have been stuck in. They are trained in home management, design and sewing. In Malawi there is also an active Foxfires youth evangelism team. City-wide missions continue to be carried out annually across Malawi.

Rwanda

In Rwanda, African Enterprise works to make the name of Jesus know through both large scale missions and working with care and compassion to improve the lives of the young population. Over 40 percent of Rwandans are under the age of 15 in a population of nearly 13 million, and the average age is just 19. The AE Rwanda Team began work in 1985, and has established numerous social action ventures alongside official AE missions in order to empower households to take charge of their lives once more by the grace of Jesus. Under the guidance of John Kalenzi and his team, there have been remarkable successes in Rwanda. The Centre for Champions (CDCs) is a remarkable social action project established in 2007, supporting vulnerable students through equipping with vocational training skills and the knowledge of the Gospel.

South Africa

South Africa is the birthplace of African Enterprise. In 1961, Michael Cassidy began AE with a vision of “non-racial, interdenominational and Pan African ministry sprung from African soil”[1]. Over 55 years later, the ministry continues with great fervour. The South Africa AE team is based in Pietermaritzburg under the leadership of Team Leader Theuns Pauw.

Tanzania

Since 1977, African Enterprise has had an office in Tanzania. For 40 years AE has been working in Tanzania to bring people to Jesus. Felix Mshomi has been the Team Leader since late 2018. Each year the Team participates in both large and small scale missions. AE Tanzania has a longstanding HIV/AIDS education program in Magu. HIV/AIDS is an unwelcome and constant companion to life in Tanzania, which is why the program at Magu is so vital allowing the AE Team in Tanzania to look after both physical and spiritual well being of vulnerable communities. Education is fundamental to enabling the next generation of Tanzanians to think carefully about how and why they should look after their personal health.

Uganda

African Enterprise Uganda was established in 1971 and Paul Wassawa Ssembiro is the current Team Leader. In Uganda, there are a wide range of projects and ministries. AE Uganda runs the Milne Medical Clinic in Kampala supporting government anti-malarial initiatives and runs vocational training for youth at the Nile Vocational Institute. These social action projects have had an extensive reach and are expected to continue expanding. City-wide missions continue to be carried out annually across Uganda.

Zimbabwe

African Enterprise has been working in Zimbabwe for several decades. Under current Team Leader Guide Makore, the AE Zimbabwe team have been working toward addressing the real need of the population – Jesus. City-wide missions take place annually as well as several social action projects including well projects and farming.
