He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.


Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.


Ephesians 2:17-22


Dear Friends,


As we reflect on the year, it’s astonishing how quickly time flies. At the start of 2024, amidst global uncertainties, none of us could have anticipated the challenges that would unfold. From escalating conflicts to the rising cost of living, many are facing pressures that threaten their ability to secure a decent living in an increasingly uncertain world. Despite these challenges, we hold firm to the assurance provided by the gospel: Lord Jesus reigns supreme, offering salvation, forgiveness, and sustenance to those who trust in Him.


Just over a month ago, we gathered at the Epping Club for our fundraising missions dinner. I am deeply grateful to each of you—friends, supporters, churches, and first-time attendees—for joining us and learning about the impactful work of African Enterprise across the continent. From South Africa to Ghana, our teams, including volunteers and pastors, are united by a common mission: to evangelise the cities of Africa through word and deed in partnership with the church. The stories of transformation are profound and continuous, thanks to your prayers and generosity.


The fundraising event was a resounding success, raising significant funds towards our mission in Juba, South Sudan. However, we are still short of our target by AUD 13,000 to reach our goal of AUD 60,000. This funding is crucial as we continue to work with local churches to spread the gospel in Juba, a city burgeoning along the banks of the Nile River. Please continue to support us through your prayers and contributions.


The dinner also highlighted our stratified evangelism, which include initial planning, mapping cities, training pastors, and establishing robust follow-up and discipleship plans with local evangelical churches. Special thanks to both Archbishop Kanishka Raffel and Stephen Mbogo who engagingly spoke of God’s work and the urgent need to spread the gospel across Africa. 


We ask for continued prayers for Reverend Alex Aggrey, our national coordinator for the South Sudan office, as he mobilises churches and likeminded Christians for biblical evangelism and mission. Remember, “For he himself is our peace,” as Ephesians 2:17-22 reminds us. We are all part of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the chief cornerstone.


Lastly, I invite you to reach out for a meeting or drop by our office for a coffee. Connecting with you is always an encouragement. Let’s continue to pray for the spread of the gospel across Africa, and for our colleagues, Steven Liggins and Shane, as they head to Zimbabwe to train pastors using the PTC course.


Thank you for your steadfast partnership in the gospel. May the Lord bless you until we meet again.
