Thank you & prayer for our supporters

“Every good and perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17),

As we draw towards the end of 2021, we want to thank all our faithful supporters for donations, prayers and partnerships that has enabled us to take the Gospel into Africa this year. Thank you to everyone who shared our mission with your church, small group, friends and on social media and who encouraged us along our path. We could not have done it without you. At AE we give thanks for countless blessings received and rejoice in the impact you have helped make in the lives of thousands of people.

As we move into the new year, we value your prayers and support over Christmas and the new year to help all our teams plan missions with certainty. Our 60th anniversary missions planning processes are well underway, including establishing mission outreach in Togo, Zambia and South Sudan. This is a significant move forward for AE to reach out into more countries and cities of Africa, and your support is vital to mobilise churches for mission in each of these areas. Africa is one of the youngest continents on earth, so strengthening our Foxfires youth evangelism teams is vital. Our development programs are assisting hundreds of vulnerable women and children to move off the streets and provide for their families, and water and sanitation programs are saving lives of the very young in slum areas.

In the past year we have seen 2,700 enrollments in the pastor training program. Praise God that through your support we are able to provide online theological education with the support of local and Australian teachers.

We Thank God for:

  • faithfulness to the Great commission, equipping workers in Africa within God’s harvest field
  • the readiness to share the Gospel in word and deed to the glory of God, every single day in Africa
  • Our partnership in Christ to reach out to all nations in Africa, through all challenges, recognising the very great needs and doing something about it.
  • Our supporters, and raising up of support and prayers to fund mission and development in Africa

Please pray with us for:

  • Those reached with the Good News, who have made a decision for Jesus, to be faithful in meeting together for church, discipleship and outreach.
  • Funding of all our future missions, development, and for the AE coordinators and evangelists
  • For all those suffering through conflict, poverty, disease, economic and environmental issues – that God will show a path through of hope, certainty in Christ and healing.
  • The leaders of Africa, through the love of God, that all Christians can live a godly and peaceful life dedicated to glorifying God.
  • For all team leaders, support office staff, boards and volunteers that they might be blessed in the love of God and sow peace in Christ for a harvest of righteousness

Prayer Points for Tanzania

AE Tanzania has worked for many years in the Mwanza and Magu areas, where the impact of AIDS and an influx of refugees have devastated the local economy. The prevalence of witchcraft, and corruption within the government, are also issues that AE is working hard to overcome.

AE recently completed a successful Back to God Mission where thousands of people committed their lives to Christ. We would be deeply grateful it if you would join with us in prayer as AE continues this important work in Tanzania.

Mrs. Amosi, a mother of four, used to worship gods and idols all her life. When the AE Tanzania team came to her door and told her about Christ, she was humbled and allowed Christ to intervene in her life. She told AE Tanzania to burn her idols and everything she used to worship the gods

Please pray for:

  • funding programs to equip young people to join the workforce
  • developing partnerships across Tanzania to evangelize in new cities
  • the board to appoint a permanent Team Leader
  • the defeat of demonic forces including persecution and dismemberment
  • well-trained Christian leaders to evangelize in rural areas
  • skilled leaders who will usher the nation into peace and prosperity
  • the AE team, missionaries and supporters

Mission Prayer Points

Southern African Region (Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe)

The Southern African region under the regional leadership of Dr. Lutangu Lubasi, is one of our newest established regions. This was done to strengthen our capacity, capability and effectiveness in reaching more people with the Gospel. Even with the impact of Covid 19, we are grateful for all that was still possible throughout the year.

Recently in the region, a very successful mission was held in Zomba Malawi under the leadership of Dr Cornelius Huwa. About 1,984 people were reached with the Word of God (this excludes those reached through radio, television and social media).

AE’s foxfire team in Malawi have done wonderful work this year by using their energetic dance and engaging drama performances to share the gospel with the youth during market and school outreaches. This approach has helped to reach more than 200 000 children with the Word of God over the past 10 years. The ministry’s goal is to provide a holistic empowerment and discipleship of Malawi’s youth and it is heartwarming to see the team at work.

AE Zambia has started the Lusaka Enhanced COVID-19 Response whose objective is to educate and sensitize vulnerable communities and distribute reusable masks to the most vulnerable among marketeers, street vendors and other vulnerable groups.

Your prayers for the following are valued:

  • For the development of a new missions team in Zimbabwe to build our evangelistic presence in partnership with the church.
  • For the vibrant and energetic Foxfires team in Malawi where they still want to reach a minimum of 10 schools this quarter and reach approximately 5000 students
  • For the Tailoring Project in Malawi that the AE team can have the funds to train even more women next year.
  • That the Lusaka Enhanced Covid 19 response program really strengthen the community and educate people effectively to stay covid safe.
  • That in the year to come, this newly established Southern African Region under the care of Dr Lutangu Lubasi will grow and flourish to reach as many people as possible in a combined effort from the three countries.
  • For safety of the teams, staff, board members and their families as they continue serve God.

That the churches in the Southern African Region will be unified to reach 1,000,000 people by 2024 through our regional initiative.

An update from Nii Amoo (Chairman of AE Ghana’s Board)

I am presently the Chairman of AE Ghana board and live in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. I have been in ministry for the past 41 years in various capacities. I have served as an evangelical leader in Ghana were I had led teams to Dr. Billy Graham’s gathering of evangelist in Amsterdam and also to Luasanne in Malina in the Philippines. I was part of the initial planning team to the last meeting at Cape Town, South Africa.

I have served with the late Robert Williams in the Missions team of BGEA, and together with my colleague in Ghana, Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante, travelled to Los Angeles in the USA to translate Dr. Billy Graham’s sermons into our local dialects for the purposes of evangelism in Ghana.

I have served in the Ghana Baptist Convention as Pastor for 34 years and as a Vice-President for 7 years. I was the founding team leader of African Enterprise Ghana, responsible for the sub-region of West Africa and at one point the Pan African Missions Director and also as Deputy International Team Leader responsible for North and West Africa. I currently serve as the Ghana AE board chairman and a member of the International Board of AE.

I am on retirement from my Pastoral ministry but serve as the local AE Ghana team evangelist.

At the moment, my wife of 43 years is sick to the point of death. She has been bedridden for about 6 months and has developed bad bedsores as a diabetic. It has been emotionally, psychologically and financially difficult for me personally and our children as well.

I am, under God, doing pretty well; notwithstanding occasional heartbreaking episodes.

Thank you for caring for me and wanting to pray for me and my family. Please pray that God’s sovereign ultimate will will be done over the life of my wife. She is currently going through so much pain that breaks my heart.

Sincerely Yours,
Nii Amoo Darku ( Rev. Dr.)

Nii Amoo’s story:

The work of African Enterprise is characterized by personal transformation, and one of the leading success stories of people coming to Christ is the current chairman of African Enterprise Ghana Nii Amoo Adarku. It was a long pathway that led Nii Amoo to become personal chaplain to the late Ghanaian president Prof John Atta Mills, and a member of the elite ‘Council of State’ advising the President and senior government leaders, largely through the evangelistic outreach of AE.

Born to Muslim parents, Nii initially came to Christ through the work of a Christian union at school. But his pride and faith was savagely crushed when some new Christian leaders demoted him from class captain, and he vowed to punish the Christian faith through partnering with overtly anti-Christian Islamic organisations.

However his life took a turn toward restoration of faith when he married Margaret, a nominal Christian who married him on the proviso that she would be able to continue attending church. Whilst this was a start of his journey back to Christ, it wasn’t until their marriage reached a crisis point during the pregnancy of their first child which exposed to Christian TV screened at the hospital. The evangelistic message truly transfixed him, he said. “I was so drawn to the message that I had to go and get a TV for my own home and watch these programs myself”, he said. “Eventually the true message of Jesus burst through into my life, and hand in hand with Margaret in our lounge we both came to faith in Christ.”

It was at that point that Nii Amoo decided to dedicate his life to Christianity through various roles in Christian media, church leadership and postgraduate study in theology. His evangelistic work was eventually noticed by the AE leadership, and he was approached and commissioned to establish AE’s office in Accra Ghana in 1994.

Quickly taking on a number of international leadership roles within the organization, including International Missions Director for West Africa, he worked closely with the founder Michael Cassidy to introduce many of the innovations that characterise AE’s unique ministry today. The 1997 pan- African mission was a high point he said. “It was at this point that we introduced some of the social action initiatives such as medical outreach during mission, established the parliamentary Christian fellowship group in Ghana, North African mission to Sudan, Egypt and Tunisa and the street route marches.”

He served as Team Leader of Ghana for 15 years until 2009, and in 2010 took over as Chairman. Nii Amoo believes that his experience has been very helpful to advise current team leader Rev Ben Sachie. “In time I am due to step down in accordance with best practice of board chair tenure now in place at AE. I would really like to encourage our supporters to continue to pray for us as we continue on this important work that has serious eternal consequences for our nations. Africa is producing the most Christians in the world today, and is best equipped to send missionaries to North Africa in particular.”

Praying for new believers

At AE the gospel is at the core of what we do. Our missions are holistic and aim to engage entire cities with the good news of Jesus Christ. We have a passion to meet the urgent need of theological education for church leaders in Africa and is committed to helping train godly leadership, equipping church ministers to be faithful to the Gospel, and to grow the church. Unfortunately, in many parts of Africa the local pastors are not trained at all which often leads to pastors unknowingly spreading a false Gospel.

Pastor Training Courses (PTC) are an important way that African Enterprise works in partnership with the local church in Africa. These courses are offered to those already in Christian leadership positions in their local church or other ministries. AE wants to equip them with solid skills in understanding and teaching God’s word so that they may be even more effective in what they do. Training the local church leaders is a big need and through AE we provide the necessary training programs.

All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3:16-17

Let us pray for the Pastor’s Training Course,

  • That AE, through the PTC bring the richness of the Gospel to life in the local churches
  • That the PTC keep bringing the African church to maturity in Christ by the delivery of training to the church leaders that result in a better understanding and handling of God’s word.
  • For financial support to make these courses self-sustaining
  • For the lecturers to have an increased mission awareness in their home churches
  • That the true Gospel of repentance and forgiveness in Jesus’ name would be preached in all of Africa, and that false ‘gospels’ would be revealed.

Let us pray for the discipleship and follow up of new believers

  • That the church will effectively support the new believers on their journey
  • That enough resources will be available in order to assist the new believers to stay active
  • To give understanding of God’s Word but also embed trust
  • That lives can be transformed to accomplish His purpose
  • To provide opportunities for personal growth and spiritual formation that strengthen the new believers in their Christian walk
  • That the African church will be empowered to help all the new believers study the bible and apply its truths in their daily lives.

Let us pray for the unity of churches in approaching new believers

  • That the true Gospel will be shared and a fire will be ignited
  • For the effective follow up of new believers
  • Please grant our leadership a plan for growth and development
  • For more churches to enroll in our school of evangelism and partner with us on mission

Volcanic devastation in Goma

Overshadowed by the enormous Nyiragongo volcano, the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo on lake Kivu has experienced years of conflict between Rwandan and Congelese troops, and in the past few days has been further overwhelmed by a volcanic eruption that has destroyed 500 of the city’s homes. 19 years after the last deadly blast that killed hundreds, thousands of people fled to neighbouring Rwanda on the past weekend, leaving hundreds of children separated from parents during the desperate flight to safety. Some children (supported by the Red Cross during this time) have since returned to the area, picking through the rubble for scraps of material to sell for food.

During this time, we ask for your prayers for these people who have been wracked by conflict and environmental disaster, that the Lord would make their way clear for them. DRC Team Leader Leonard Kiswangi commented on the issues these people are facing:

“A whole generation between 1994 and 2019 live in permanent fear with no meaning in life other than a fight for identity and survival…. life in this part of the world, is really hard and there has been no time where we could say that real peace and sustainable development has prevailed. Many people, under such devastating and bloody wars cry out saying that death was better than living in the context where all seems to describe hell! Peace, more particularly inner peace is the most needed life ingredient people are longing for. “

Please pray for the

  • safety and well being of the city community, and for the healing hands of support and grace offered by Rwanda and NGOs in the area.
  • work of Leonard and team as they provide whatever support is possible to churches in the region
  • end to conflict and war in DRC.
  • security and rebuilding of the city.
  • love of Christ to be present through all Christians near and far to the people of DRC
