The Venture is a collective of partners who are passionate about investing in young leaders through continuous, monthly gifts. The problems plaguing Africa are complex and deeply rooted. We’ve searched, questioned, and strived for the key to make impactful change in Africa. The answer became simple: serving and investing in people. Through collaborative prayer, advocacy and generosity, we believe profound transformation is taking place in Africa through a new generation of leaders as a result of our combined investment.
How is The Venture different?
We understand and appreciate that as a 4africa partner, it is important to know your gift is an investment that will propel our efforts forward and make a true impact. Our approach is based on empowering the Discipled Nation Builder, not completing short-term projects. The Venture is the catalyst behind this high-impact, long-term solution to create a flourishing Africa.
Our 10-year leadership development program equips the young men and women with skills to create positive, lasting change in their families, workplaces, governments, and communities.

Investor Care Manager
“Hi, I’m Preston,
I have the privilege of serving as 4africa’s Investor Care Manager.
Since joining the team in 2021, one of the greatest joys of my work has been developing personal relationships with our monthly partners, hearing stories of how God is working in their lives, and assisting in their stewardship and support of our ministry.
My wife and I live in the DFW area with our two kids, Nora and Jack, and enjoy taking walks and watching an inordinate amount of Bluey.
I am always eager to connect, and I would love to chat, pray, or get coffee with you.”
