African Harvest Publications
We are a new publishing imprint which will publish the extended testimonies of evangelists who work with African Enterprise.
For nearly 60 years AE evangelists have travelled the length and breadth of Africa, working with thousands of churches in scores of cities across 54 countries. They have reached hundreds of thousands of people with the Good News of Jesus Christ. But what about the evangelists themselves? How did they first encounter Jesus Christ? How did they receive God’s calling to evangelism? Here are their own personal stories.
SEND ME TO THE NATIONS
By Stephen Mbogo
ISBN:978-0-9932130-1-4
‘From the reached to the unreached.
From the possible to the impossible.’
This is the autobiography of the Rev Dr Stephen Mbogo, International CEO of African Enterprise.
It is the warm and moving account of how an evangelist is ‘made’: of how a youngster from the Eastern lowlands of Kenya, at first too shy to speak in his school’s Christian Union, grew up to become one of Africa’s foremost evangelists.
Stephen has led missions to tens of thousands across the continent of Africa. He played a behind-the-scenes role in launching the National Prayer Breakfasts for both Kenya and South Sudan. Recently, he has also participated as one of the speakers in the European Union Prayer Breakfast.
Today Stephen heads up African Enterprise, a missions agency working through ten teams across Africa – evangelising the cities of Africa in word and deed.
He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Luke 10:2 (NIV)
‘Stephen Mbogo has a passion to reach the leadership of Africa for Christ. I salute him and highly commend his story’. – Michael Cassidy

"Stephen Lungu’s book is a spiritual thriller! Fasten your seatbelt, hold on tight and seize the blessings speeding towards you!" - Michael Cassidy, Founder, African Enterprise
Stephen Lungu has shared his story with thousands of people. His dramatic conversion from streetfighter to evangelist took him from the poor townships of Harare to podiums in Africa, Australia, Europe and North America.
Born in what was then Salisbury, Rhodesia, Stephen was the oldest son of a teenage mother and her violent older husband. When Stephen was seven his mother abandoned him in the marketplace. His aunt locked Stephen in her chicken coop, with only a burlap sack for cover. At eleven, he could stand it no longer, and ran away, preferring the dangers of the streets.
He slept under bridges, scavenging food from white folks’ dustbins. As a teenager, he became leader of an urban gang called the Black Shadows. With half-focussed ideas of revolution, the gang stabbed, looted and created trouble.
When a travelling evangelist came to town, Stephen and his gang decided to fire-bomb the tent meeting. He mingled with the crowd, but before throwing his petrol bomb, he decided to listen to the preacher….
