About

African Enterprise Ltd is the Australian office of African Enterprise, a global Christian mission organisation dedicated to evangelising the cities of Africa through both spiritual outreach and practical community development initiatives, in partnership with local churches. They raise funds and support in Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong to resource 12 indigenous African teams, aiming to create lasting impact through thoughtful preparation, powerful proclamation, and sustained follow-up.

Tips for Applicants

As African Enterprise Ltd primarily funnels funds to its international operations rather than offering traditional grants, direct grant applications are unlikely. For individuals interested in participating in their mission, explore the 'Short-term Missions' section on their website and use the provided contact form to learn more about joining.

Giving Philosophy

African Enterprise operates on a philosophy of 'stratified evangelism,' seeking to reach every level of society in African cities with the Gospel. Their approach is holistic, addressing both the spiritual and practical needs of individuals and communities through city-wide missions, aid projects, peacebuilding, reconciliation, leadership development, and poverty relief initiatives. They emphasize strong partnerships with local churches and rely on prayer and financial support from their global network of supporters.
