History

Africa Tabernacle Evangelism was established in 1991 for the original purposes of assisting with church planting and building church structures during the Decade of Harvest initiative in the 1990s.
 

Since its formation, the ministry has morphed to what it is today by strategically partnering with national churches across the continent in what is, probably, the most prolific church-planting movement the world has ever seen. ATE has partnered with national churches to erect almost 3700 structures that serve as local churches, Bible training schools, community centers, and so much more - with the majority being local churches.
 
The strategic nature of ATE is to come alongside church-planting movements in Africa to expedite their efforts, by providing steel structures where it is deemed most critical. The placement of the structures is determined by ongoing evaluation that includes the following factors:

  • the location of the church and the potential it has to reach a wider area

  • the population growth in the area,

  • the religious demographics of the area,

  • the need to establish a “beachhead” in the area

  • other considerations​


As we work in a partnership relationship, we see God’s hand of blessing on all of those involved in seeing HIS kingdom established.

History of Africa Tabernacle Evangelism
Our Team
Tony & Kerri Ballard Zambia .jpg

Tony and Kerri have served with Assemblies of God World Missions since 2019. They began by serving as missionary associates with Africa Tabernacle Evangelism (ATE), working closely with then director, Bill Moore.

 

During their second term, they were appointed as career missionaries and served in the country of Zambia, where they continued to work with ATE to erect tabernacles across the country. During this term they also assisted with launching new tabernacle workshops in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia.

 

Tony and Kerri were appointed as the new directors of Africa Tabernacle Evangelism in May 2025. They are excited about all that God is doing on the continent of Africa through the ministry of ATE. Since 1991, ATE has helped facilitate the construction of over 4,000 tabernacles in 40 countries. Churches across Africa are working tirelessly to reach the lost and plant new churches. With your help, ATE will continue to partner with these African churches to see a healthy church within walking distance of every African.
