"In these tremendous days for Africa, proclaiming the Good News and bringing people to a living commitment to Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord remains our top priority. Whatever has been accomplished is due entirely to our God."
Michael Cassidy
Founder and International Team Leader

African Enterprise International


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: City Reaching; Aid & Development, Reconciliation & Justice; and Leadership Development (see Core competencies for details).

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 offices in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and Ghana. These offices are in partnership with support Boards around the world in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Norway. The whole organization is governed by an International Partnership Board representing 16 nations. The partnership holds to the Lausanne Covenant of 1974 as our statement of faith.

We are thankful to God for all that he has done in and through us in the continent of Africa. We continue to pray for his enabling and provision as we seek to build our work and move toward the vision he has given us to see more in Africa come into relationship with him to the glory of his name!
