Founded in 1977 as an outreach ministry to African Students, ACF-USA has since grown to over fifty (50) chapters located in several cities across the United States of America.

In 1983, the Midwest Region comprised of Minnesota, Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, N. Dakota, S.
