About Us
Friends of Africa is committed to glorifying God by carrying the gospel to the unreached peoples on the African continent, and by seeking to help educate the Church about the need for its involvement in the great commission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Who We Are
Friends of Africa Missions Ministries Inc. was founded in 1999. It is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to taking the gospel to the unreached on the African continent.
We are comprised of members of various churches in the Baltimore City and Baltimore county surrounding area. Its members have made a life long commitment to serve the LORD by spreading the Gospel to the unreached people groups on the African continent.
Friends of Africa began as a vision from God in response to a need that existed in Africa. While on the missions field God revealed that it was not His will for missionaries from the United States to go to Africa for two weeks to share the Gospel and then never return… There are millions of people on the African continent who have never heard the Gospel.
In response to this vision, over a 23 year period God has gathered together men and women who have heard His call to work as missionaries in Africa. Each year we take teams on short term mission trips in hope that God will place within people a desire to fulfill the great commission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A Word From Our Founder
“God allowed me to see His heart. In seeing His heart, he changed mine forever and my life as well.”
It’s not every day that one gets an audience with God. Moses was blessed to talk to God face to face (Exodus 3). Isaiah was blessed to see the Lord high and lifted up (Isaiah 6). No, I didn’t see the Lord face to face, but what I saw changed my life forever. The year was 1997. It occurred on the mission field in Ghana, West Africa. It was the vision of my Pastor to one day send me to Africa to represent our church on the mission field.
You need to understand, like many people, Africa was not something that was ever on my radar. It wasn’t a dream of mine, no, not even a thought. But here I was, thousands of miles away from anything and everything that was familiar to me. I had an expectation that something would happen. I had a desire to be used of God in some capacity in sharing the gospel. But what happened was beyond anything I could have imagined or thought.
Jesus saved me in 1980. I thought I had a good understanding about God and who He was. I even thought that I understood what He wanted. Boy was I mistaken. The Lord did use me, but then He exceeded my expectations. God allowed me to see His heart. In seeing His heart, he changed mine forever and my life as well. God’s heart beats for the souls of men everywhere. God is looking for individuals he can show his heart to. I invite you to come and join us on a marvelous journey with the Lord. Let God show you His heart and change yours in the process.
Our Vision
Friends of Africa envisions erecting a training center where new Christians would be discipled over a period of time and sent back to minister amongst their own people. There would be economic empowerment along with the biblical training. The centre for missions and community development will aim at:
Join us on a marvelous journey with the Lord. Applications for the 2027 mission trip to Ghana are open now.
