African Harvest The Captivating Story of Michael Cassidy and African Enterprise

When Michael Cassidy started African Enterprise 40 years ago, "urban Africa was growing fast and chaotically. The battle was on for its soul: everywhere ideologies and political self-interests clashed, while men with selfish ambitions vied for power. "Religiously, Africa was also a free-for-all. Centuries-old traditional witchcraft and all manner of occult practices were endemic. On top of this, Islam was on the march. Christianity had taken root across the continent. But churches and mission stations were often isolated and poorly resourced ..." This extraordinary chronicle of a man and the organisation he founded is in truth an account of how the Holy Spirit has been working across Africa over the last 40 years. Through African Enterprise, tens of thousands have been won for Christ. Conflicts have been averted: Michael Cassidy's contribution during South Africa's transition to black majority rule arguably changed the history of the continent. Anne Coomes uses Michael's own remarkable life as the starting point for a wider account of AE's ministry. Much of Africa has proved thirsty for the gospel, and her peoples' eagerness to respond is both astonishing and uplifting to Western readers.
