Songe Chibambo National Missions Director

Songe Chibambo comes from a family of nine children, whose father was a school teacher. A priority in the home was attending Church.

At the age of 23 Songe surrendered his life to Christ. Before giving his heart to the Lord, he led a loose life, looking for satisfaction where there was none. He applied to study at a University but was not selected. The selection was not based on merit but on the number required from each district.

One thing Songe knew deep down in his heart was that God had called him to serve Him and His children. The Lord gave Songe a compassionate heart. Through his prayers and witnessing, his brothers, sisters and many close relatives received the Lord into their lives.

At Lagos, Nigeria, he attended Bible College where he completed a three year course in one year, only to find at the end of his training he was unemployed. Songe put his spare time to good use - praying. He volunteered to assist with the 1983 Blantyre Mission in Malawi being organized by African Enterprise. He continued to work at the AE office for eight months after the Mission doing follow-up work. In 1984, Michael Cassidy, International Team Leader, and Malcolm Graham, the International Administrative Director, visited Malawi, at which time they invited Songe to join them in South Africa as an intern. Songe accepted and at the end of his year training, he was invited by African Enterprise to join the team in Malawi. His work involved setting up Missions not only in Malawi but in the surrounding countries. He also preached at the Missions.

Near the end of 1991 Songe heard the Lord calling him to South Africa and many incidents happened which served as confirmation. In 1992 he emigrated to South Africa where he became involved in AE's mission preparation. In addition to these responsibilities he participated in teaching and preaching in parish missions, schools and colleges throughout the country and abroad. In 1997 he became become AE's National Missions Director.

Songe enjoys talking to people of all ages about Jesus. His work at AE involves setting up missions, teaching and preaching. God has given him the gift of intercession. Songe¹s life is a miracle and he is grateful to God for having chosen him.
