Top local gospel acts have been pencilled for the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe Greater Harare Conference which begins tomorrow and ends on Sunday.

The list includes Mathias Mhere, Dorcas Moyo, Jonah Chivasa, Joyful Praise and the National Praise team, among other big names.

The conference is scheduled at Glamis Arena at the Exhibition Park.

In an interview, AFM president Amon Madawo confirmed the gospel fiesta.

“We have so far held Greater Manicaland, Greater Chivhu and Greater Bulawayo conferences,” he said.

“March 2023 will see us holding Greater Midlands for all the congregants from Gokwe and surrounding areas and Midlands province at large.

“The main thrust of these conferences is to bring part and parcel of healing and revival to the members of the AFM. In addition, preparing the members and refocusing the church on her mission and mandate will be key. Thus in addition brings the attention of the members to prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ.”

Greater Harare is made up of AFM In Zimbabwe congregants from Harare, Chitungwiza and Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland West provinces.

The church grew exponentially and all these provinces were born from Greater Harare.

“There will be speakers amongst our church together with the Bishop of Pentecostal Assemblies who is also in the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, Bishop Never Muparutsa, as our guest speaker,” said Madawo.

“As the body of Christ, we invited other bodies such as the Zimbabwe Council of Churches, the Catholic Council of Bishops and Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe whose representatives will give solidarity speeches at the conference.

“Standing on our mandate to preach peace, we have invited Government officials, Harare City mayor and captains of industry.”

Madawo is excited about the theme of the conference, “Impacting the World Through the Gospel of the Kingdom” which was derived from Matthew 24 verse 11-14 and Acts 1:8.

In addition, AFM In Zimbabwe recognises other churches and ministries that are involved in the ministry of the gospel.

“We believe that as the body of Christ we complement each other,” said Madawo. “In augmentation, we are not in competition with any church or ministry. Each church has its divine mandate and running their God-given race.

“Our sole agenda is to have many individuals brought to Christ, we also pray for our leaders and the nation at large.”
