STEPHEN LUNGU’S life is a success story.  

The African Enterprise (AE) international team leader, who will be in B.C. this month, went from childhood destitution to spiritual transformation.

Lungu was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now known as Harare, Zimbabwe). According to AE’s website, he was “abandoned in the streets at age seven”; he was abused at   orphanages, and by relatives. Life soon went further downhill. Lungu spent several years “living on the streets, raiding the garbage of rich white people.” At one point, he was reduced to living under a bridge.

He joined a gang, The Black Shadows, which he gradually took over. Lungu, states AE,  “hated God for what had happened to him – and he hated white people, who had ‘everything’ while blacks starved . . . When the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe liberation struggle began, he was ready to . . . fight for freedom.”

Instead, Lungu “found a faith deep enough to heal all his wounds. Steve also found a loving circle of people who taught him to read and write at age 21, sent him to Bible college – where he found a praying wife who encouraged his growing preaching ministry.”

Lungu became AE’s Malawi leader in 1982. In 2005, he succeeded AE founder Michael Cassidy as the ministry’s CEO. He will be speaking in the Vancouver area October 6 – 11. Contact: AfricanEnterprise.com       – DFD
