The Gospel of Jesus Christ is more needed than ever before

Home Based Evangelism

The year 2020 started with all our teams prayerfully preparing for their upcoming missions. As COVID-19 was spreading throughout the world, the African Enterprise Evangelistic Teams realised that a major shift needed to be made. We had to reconsider the way we have been running our missions and evangelism for the past 59 years. Home Based Evangelism came as an answer to our call.

Our International CEO Rev. Dr. Stephen Mbogo communicated in the midst of this crisis:

“The gospel of Jesus Christ is more needed than ever before. AE will not stop proclaiming the hope we have in Jesus Christ in Word and Deed. Rather, we are very committed to continue reaching homes using the digital space through a new model that we have developed known as Home Based Evangelism (HBE).”

In partnership with local churches, we will endeavor to continue with our main calling, to evangelise and disciple the cities of Africa in Word and Deed.

Home Based Evangelism will be implemented through the following steps:

  • Pray – In preparation for HBE, AE Team leaders will be steadfast in prayer. Getting together a HBE prayer team, producing a bulletin for the HBE outreach and organising a 24/7 prayer chain.
  • Prepare – The mission field needs to be mapped and media platforms available needs to be identified. Engaging different partners and senior church leaders.
  • Engage – HBE home facilitators and homes will need to be identified and equipped to host HBE outreach. This step will also involve mobilizing support for the needy, training beneficiaries on sanitation and COVID-19 and sharing HBE promotion clips and flyers.
  • Broadcast – Our team leaders will be preparing and recording messages for HBE Outreach Day. The messages will then be shared with the HBE home facilitators. A live TV or radio broadcast will be recorded and then first shared with a small number of homes. If everything is in order, the message will be broadcasted on the specific HBE Outreach day.
  • Reach Homes – Homes need to be equipped for HBE Outreach. Teams and HBE facilitators will have fellowship with our invitees and identify the social needs in their homes so that AE can respond to their need. The AE team will also make connect with local churches.
  • Evangelise and Disciple – The AE team will be sharing an evangelistic message and then making an invitation to follow Jesus Christ. A decision card will be available to complete. New converts will be discipled by the sharing of follow up materials. The needy will be served through social action and the AE teams will ensure the new converts are connected to a local church where they can join small groups and fellowship.

Through HBE, we are planning to reach a total of 44,150 homes and 765,124 people across all our teams and their HBE mission activities.

Please pray with us:

  • Pray for our Team Leaders and their teams as they prepare for HBE.
  • Pray for the recording and broadcasting of the messages to go according as planned.
  • Pray for our home facilitators who will play a vital role in the success of this mission.
  • Pray for those that give their hearts to Jesus to be able to connect to a Church and continue and grow in their journey.

Stephen Mbogo Ministry Tour launches this month

At AE Australia, we couldn’t be more excited to be hosting the Stephen Mbogo Ministry Tour from the 29th of April and to the 15th of May 2018.  19951927580_b426271436_k

Stephen is a dynamic communicator and leader, and is the International CEO of African Enterprise. He can’t wait to share with you about the many incredible stories of what God is doing through AE across the African continent. Last year alone, over 1 million people heard the good news of Jesus, and nearly 100,000 people made a commitment to follow Christ.

Stephen told AE Australia on Wednesday that he is feeling good and enthusiastic about his Australian visit. He said he wants to encourage Australian supporters to “be on mission with us.”

The work of AE in transforming Africa for Christ can’t be done without the prayer and generous support of Australians.

Stephen is passionate about seeing Africa transformed through the salvation of its people and the sound governance of its leaders. AE missions impact every level of society. This can range from equipping women with tailoring skills so they can escape a life of prostitution, to meeting with political leaders to encourage governments to lead justly.

Stephen has been a part of the AE movement since 1992 and was appointed as the organisation’s third CEO in 2013. He was born in Kenya in 1967 into a family that followed ancestral beliefs. Stephen made a commitment to follow Christ while was in High School – a decision that led his parents and grandparents to know Jesus.

He went on to complete his PHD at Biola University in California in Intercultural Studies where he specifically focused on motivations and leadership values among politicians. This background knowledge enables AE to not only preach the gospel but to advocate for positive political leadership across Africa.

Stephen will be speaking at churches, conferences, and other gatherings across Australia. He would love to meet with you and encourage you to be a part of what God is doing in Africa through AE. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
