Africa Tabernacle Evangelism (ATE) was established in 1991 in anticipation of extensive church growth anticipated for the 1990’s and beyond. It was a practical approach to new church evangelism and church construction. Obviously, with growth comes a need for additional places of worship.
With this in mind, the idea of erecting free-standing steel structures was birthed in the mind of several individuals, tried and modified, and subsequently adopted by the Africa leadership team as a strategic strategy for the continent.
For an investment of $7500, a church can be built for a needy congregation in Africa. It is a partnership plan between donors, ATE, missionaries and the local African church. The donor - whether a church, business, or individual - provides the base cost of the church. The ATE staff, in cooperation with the field missionaries, provides the logistics for the erection of the building. Then, the local church completes the church’s walls, floor, etc. with local labor and materials, as their funds allow.
Often teams from churches in the USA travel to Africa to erect these structures and minister in the church and surrounding community.
Significant growth is still occurring in Africa at present. And many local congregations are waiting for a new place of worship. All we lack is sufficient funding to help them. We need you to partner with us to help our brothers and sisters in Africa!
