This M4M focuses on the work of African Enterprise. It was founded by Michael Cassidy in 1962 with the aim of evangelising the cities of Africa through word and deed in partnership with the Church. It aims to do this through evangelism, social action, reconciliation and leadership development. It is evangelical, team-based and seeks to reach all stratas of society to bring peace to the fractured communities. It has now spread across four continents. The group "Foxfire" who visited us last year are part of their ministry and Stephen Lungu is the International Team Leader.
He actually has preached here at St Matthews. His story is truly rivetting and enriched my summer as I read his story in "Out of the Black Shadows". From abandoned childhood and years of homelessness hunger and illiteracy, his life was transformed by the Gospel and the love and care of Christians. He now is their international team leader. His story epitomises the work of African Enterprise and deserves our support and our prayers.
