HOW WE DO IT

Stratified Evangelism

African Enterprise is unique for our focus on stratified evangelism – reaching every strata of society with the Gospel.

Each year we run 9-12 city-wide missions and each mission has three phases.

Preparation

Preparation begins over a year in advance for each mission and includes getting churches involved, selecting and training local evangelists, mission volunteers and counselors. Leaders are also in communication and work with local authorities for logistical and planning reasons. This is a prayerful process requiring evangelical unity and the urgency to share gospel.

Proclamation

The Proclamation phase is the 7-10 days where African Enterprise evangelists, local Christians and partnering churches bring the Gospel to a city through well-coordinated and planned evangelistic events; from the informal traders on the streets, the homeless, doctors, business people, prisons, farmers right through to the president and various government forums.

Preservation

Preservation begins post mission where those who heeded the call of Christ through the gospel during the mission week are followed up by local churches which will engage in the glorious task of discipleship and establishing believers in sound bible teaching.

Pastor Training Course

Equipping a new generation of pastors

The openness to the Gospel and the growth of the numbers of Christians in Africa is phenomenal. However as a result of the need for teachers and pastors, many leaders of churches are poorly trained and some are illiterate. As a result, there is a significant danger that people with a thirst for the truth of Jesus will be led astray by the merging of other belief systems (syncretism), or the misguidance of congregations into believing that church is some form of get-rich scheme (prosperity doctrine).

African Enterprise is committed to helping train godly leadership, equipping church ministers to be faithful to the Gospel, and to grow the church.

There are two tiers to African Enterprise’s Pastor Training Courses, one of which is our own material developed over 60 years to equip pastors for mission, and the second two are developed in partnership with George Whitefield College in South Africa and Moore College in Australia which can offer formal pathways into theological college.

Through these training programs, which are fundamental to mission, AE will help to ensure that churches and volunteers joining us on mission will accurately share the Good News of Jesus, and that pastors are also well equipped to well train the thousands of new believers coming to faith after mission. We thank you so much for how you make mission possible and train leaders and volunteers to accurate teach, disciple and convey the truth.

Foxfires

Youth are the future of Africa, and it is essential that effective youth discipleship and empowerment programs are part of our mission strategy.

Foxfire Teams are the youth arm of African Enterprise’s Evangelistic and Mission activities. The program’s name comes from Judges 15:3-5. In this passage, Samson catches 300 foxes, ties torches to their tails, sets the torches on fire and releases them into the fields of the Philistines. The vision of this ministry is to set youth ablaze with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and send them out into the world.
