BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS AFRICA

What BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS AFRICA does

African Christian Fellowship (ACF), Atlanta, operating under the tagline "Building Bridges Across Africa," is a religious nonprofit organization and one of more than 50 chapters of ACF-USA, the federation founded in 1977 as an outreach ministry to African students. The Atlanta chapter is headquartered at 6865 Factory Shoals Rd, Austell, GA 30168, and functions as a nonsectarian community of African Christian diaspora members. Its mission spans four pillars: reconnecting with the African continent via missions and economic investments, building bridges with other Christian organizations, building the ACF family to address spiritual, physical, social, and emotional needs, and passing cultural and Christian legacy to youth.

The chapter's core products are fellowship programming (monthly ACF Fellowship Meetings, Men's Fellowship on the 4th Sunday, Women's Fellowship on the 2nd Sunday, and youth meetings), recurring corporate prayer (men's and women's Tuesdays, general Thursdays with dial-in), and recurring community events (Praise Jam bimonthly, annual Women's Day, ACF Picnic). Beyond domestic fellowship, ACF Atlanta runs international community development programs — borehole/water projects in Ebonyi State (Isiagu, Amaeke) and Ekiti State, and flood relief in Kogi State, Nigeria. Documented outcomes include 100 souls converted in Amaeke, 50 school bags and 432 exercise books distributed, and multiple completed boreholes. The technology footprint is limited to a WordPress website (acfatlanta.org) with calendar export (Google Calendar/iCal/Outlook) and a multi-channel donation stack integrating Tithely, Zelle, PayPal, USSD text-to-give, and mail.

The business/revenue model is donation-funded. ACF Atlanta generates no commercial revenue; inflows are individual and congregant contributions routed through Tithely (credit card), Zelle ([email protected]), PayPal, USSD text-to-give (1-833-536-0476), and mailed checks to the Austell address. The organization is governed by volunteer officers led by President Bro. Edward Olufelo, with no disclosed paid executives, headcount, or financial filings. Geographic scope spans the Atlanta metropolitan area domestically and project sites across multiple Nigerian states internationally.

Broad incumbents

• World Vision US: World Vision is one of the largest faith-based humanitarian organizations in the world, with extensive water, sanitation, disaster relief, and child sponsorship programs in Nigeria and across Africa.
