International Partners

African Enterprise

Stephen Lungu
Africa
Stephen Lungu is the International Team Leader for African Enterprise. Stephen has a miraculous testimony of radical life transformation from a violent freedom fighter to international evangelist. Abandoned as a young child, Stephen grew up on the streets of Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe today), became a gang leader, and developed a deep bitterness toward God. In 1960 he became involved in violent Communist activism against the white Government, learning the dreadful skills of sabotage, bombing, and destruction. In 1962, Stephen and his gang plotted to blow up a bank when they came upon a large tent Gospel meeting with thousands of people. He and his fellow terrorists decided they would throw their bombs into the tent and shoot anyone who tried to escape. Before he could throw his bombs, he heard the Gospel and became convicted of his sins. He was converted at the very meeting he planned to bomb! The day after his conversion, Stephen surrendered himself to the authorities and confessed his crimes. After eight hours of interrogation, Stephen was released and given money by one policeman to buy his first Bible. He and his wife, Rachel, also serve as marriage counselors.
