In August 2016 Tony Spencer taught African Enterprise’s first ever PTC course in Ghana.  In line with recent revisions to AE’s pastor training strategy, the course was planned as preparation for the major mission that was held in the northern town of Kumasi in October 2016. 41 Church leaders and evangelists from churches involved in the mission preparation and delivery were selected to receive training in Biblical Theology 1 and evangelism and follow up using materials from Matthias Media such as 2 Ways to Live and Just for Starters.

Many of the students expressed how much they had appreciated learning to understand the big picture of the bible and its implications for preaching and teaching ministries. They seem to be deeply edified in the gospel through the unit which was a great encouragement.

One older man expressed that he felt a new passion to read and study the bible and that he has wasted many years trying to do so without understanding the big picture and basic interpretive skills.

Another student expressed deep concern at the state of Christianity in Australia.  He had been kept awake praying for Australia and even contemplating if there is anything he could do, perhaps coming and helping reach the lost.

David Owusu Ansah, one of those who attended the course, was so keen to use his training that he started preaching to prostitutes in the evenings!  So far he’s managed to rescue over 20 women from the sex industry who gave their lives to Christ.  They are now being housed in a local church and have entered AE’s Women’s Rehabilitation Program where they are learning vocational skills and learning about God’s word.

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

Project Manager – African Enterprise Ghana

“I actually find fulfilment when I see the needy helped, the weary strengthen and the broken heart healed.”

I was introduced to the Lord through the activities of Scripture Union in October 1983 when I was in the Secondary School at Drobo. I went through the usual new converts classes and also attended several Christian camp meetings, seminars and conferences.

In 1986, I joined a Fellowship known as Jesus to the Rural World. We were involved in rural evangelism and we helped Churches such as Baptist and Assemblies of God to establish Churches in the Jaman South District, Ghana.

In 1992, I felt called by the Lord into the full time Ministry and I gained admission in 1993 to Christian Service University College where I did a three- year Diploma in Theology.

Between 1996 and 2006, I was the Pastor in charge of Grace Community Church – Sunyani, and also the General Secretary for the Church.

I served as the Administrator and Lecturer for Bible Training Centre for Pastors between 1999 and 2006. And I helped in organizing several Pastors’ Conferences in Brong Ahafo including BARCOE which was a follow-up on Billy Graham’s Amsterdam Congress.

I further studied at Maranatha University College between 2006 and 2008 and I was awarded Bachelor of Arts theology.

February 2006, I was appointed as the Project Manager to African Enterprise -Ghana where I currently serve as the Project Manager and double as the finance officer. I also serve as the Secretary for the Mission Africa Planning Committee – Ghana.

My heartbeat is towards the rehabilitation of prostitutes and the destitute in our society. I believe that the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ must be presented holistically. That is to say that, we must take into consideration both the real and felt needs of ‘Man’. Even as we are mindful of the spiritual needs of man, we must of necessity be concerned about the physical needs as well.

I actually find fulfilment when I see the needy helped, the weary strengthen and the broken heart healed.

By the grace of God I married to a lovely and prayer wife – Vida and we are blessed with three girls and one boy – Mercy, Victor, Sarah and Josephine.
