About

Our People

Meet the men and women who lead and serve the Association of Evangelicals in Africa — the Executive Board that holds our governance, and the Secretariat that carries the day-to-day work of the fellowship from Nairobi.

Those who serve

AEA is led and served by men and women drawn from across the African Church.

Pastors, theologians, practitioners, and administrators give their time and gifts to strengthen the body of Christ across the continent. Together they carry the governance, direction, and day-to-day work of the Association.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
