Who is AFCI?

Revival in the church
Evangelism through the church
Training for the church

Ambassadors for Christ was established in Australia in 1949. Together, an evangelist and a businessman caught a vision for effective evangelism here in Australia. John Ridley, probably the greatest evangelist Australia has produced, and Alf Davey, a Sydney businessman, pooled their gifts and resources to birth a new kind of ministry. Originally called the Australian Institute of Evangelism, the ministry became Ambassadors for Christ International as it expanded into other nations. AFCI now ministers in 25 nations and is having a powerful impact around the world.

Two things set AFCI apart:
First is the fact that our teams around the world are made up, not of overseas missionaries, but of people who have a burden for the effectiveness of the church in their own nations. Our vision statement is that we are teams of nationals accelerating the spread of the gospel through local churches.

Second is our motto, which sums up the focus of our ministry: revival in the church, evangelism through the church, training for the church Rather than simply working alongside the local church, the ministry of AFCI is focused on the local church itself. We minister into the life of your church!
