Happy Birthday Thembalezizwe Christian Church

Stephen Manhanga preaching and Mike Ndlovu interpreting


At this time 2 years ago, Thembalezizwe Christian Church was planted in Umguza out of River of Life Christian Church in Bulawayo. Tapiwa Chizana, an elder of River of Life Christian Church oversees Thembalezizwe Christian Church. Mike Ndlovu and Taurai Sithole are the leaders of the church.

From small beginnings, the church has grown and it was wonderful being able to celebrate Thembalezizwe’s 2nd birthday last Sunday. The praise and worship was vibrant and the ladies choir blessed the church with an awesome song. Testimonies of God’s goodness were given as well. What a pleasure hearing people give God glory.

Stephen Manhanga, the leader of Crossroads Community Church shared an exciting word from John 5:1 – 9 about the man at the pool of Bethezda. His exposition was brilliant as his preach came down to the man taking his eyes off his problem and focusing on Jesus. Jesus instructed him to “arise, take up your bed and walk” and the man obeyed. We were encouraged to arise from our difficulties, to master the giants that have mastered us and to walk. Walking speaks of mobility, going places.
All in all, it was a dynamic service. May God continue to bless Thembalezizwe as they impact the Umguza community.
