  • The Bible and Children in Pentecostal Christianity: a Case Study of the Children’S Ministry in the Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (ZAOGA FIF)
    Asian Journal of Humanities and Social Studies (ISSN: 2321 – 2799) Volume 02– Issue 01, February 2014 The Bible and Children in Pentecostal Christianity: A Case Study of the Children’s Ministry in the Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (ZAOGA FIF) Phillip Musoni1 and Francis Machingura2 1Lecturer and Chairperson, Department of Religious Studies and Theology Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University. Zimbabwe 2Senior Lecturer at the, Faculty of Education, Curriculum and Arts Education Department University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT----The Bible plays a central role in the life of every Christian particularly in Pentecostal Christianity. Its centrality is also emphasized in the life of children. Parents in Pentecostal Churches feel proud to see their children excelling in Children’s ministry. Children are trained at a very tender age to memorize scriptural verses as part of socialization in the Christian walk. Therefore, it is the supreme role of the Children’s ministry teachers, parents and the Church at large to act as mentors. Most Pentecostal Churches like the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe, ZAOGA FIF, Family of God (to mention but a few) value the place of the Children’s ministry in exposing children to the Bible. Virtues such as discipline, honesty, loyalty and righteousness are regarded as important but can only be possible when children are nurtured in the world of the Bible at a tender age. Different age-groups have been created in the ZAOGA FIF’s Children’s ministry and teachers have been trained to specifically deal with such age- groups. However, critics have dismissed such socialization as part of indoctrination that doesn’t psychologically help children except to make them fundamentalist followers of certain leaders and their doctrines.

  • Historicising Pentecostal Christianity in Zimbabwe
    HISTORICISING PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIANITY IN ZIMBABWE Lovemore Togarasei Research Institute for Theology and Religion, University of South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper is a first attempt to systematically present a history of Pentecostal Christianity in Zimbabwe. The paper first discusses the introduction of the Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) in Zimbabwe before moving on to discuss some of the Pentecostal churches born out of the AFM. This is followed by a discussion of the 1980s and 1990s explosion of American type Pentecostal churches and the current Pentecostal charismatic churches that seem to be sweeping the Christian landscape in the country. The paper acknowledges the difficulty of writing a history of Pentecostalism in the country due to a lack of sources. It identifies AFM as the mother church of Pentecostal movements in Zimbabwe, but also acknowledges the existence and influence of other earlier movements. It has shown that the current picture of Zimbabwean Christianity is heavily influenced by Pentecostalism in mainline churches, African Initiated Churches (AICs) and the various Pentecostal movements. Keywords: History; Pentecostal Christianity; Apostolic Faith Mission; Zimbabwe; African Initiated Churches INTRODUCTION The past four decades have witnessed a shift in the public expression of Christianity in Zimbabwe. This has been as a result of the explosion of Pentecostal Christianity on the Zimbabwean Christian landscape. Unfortunately, no serious attempt has been made to provide some history of the expression of Christianity in Zimbabwe. Many works have addressed the history of Christianity in Zimbabwe (Baur 1994; Isichei 1995, 115-116; Weller and Linden 1984; Zvogbo 1996).

  • Reflections on Religious Worship at Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University
    Chapel Services as Hidden Curriculum: Reflections on Religious Worship at Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University by Tenson Muyambo, M.A. [email protected] Lecturer in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts, Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University & Francis Machingura, Ph.D. [email protected] Senior Lecturer, Department of Education and Curriculum Studies, Faculty of Education, University of Zimbabwe Abstract Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University has entered the academia arena thereby joining the state owned and other private universities. A trajectory look at its vision, mission and values leads one to believe that, indeed, a university of a different currency has been birthed. It is not its Christian grounding which makes it different and unique but its concept of a total person. In line with the mother church’s doctrine, that is, Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa Forward in Faith, the university acknowledges the Trinitarian nature of a human being. The university has introduced every working day morning devotions for staff and students, a unique scenario not only conspicuously absent but non-existent in the other universities. The assumption is that other universities seem to be obsessed with the need to ‘feed’ the intellectual at the expense of the other two important dimensions (the soul and body) of a total person. The paper both qualitatively and quantitatively posits that what we find at Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University is a hidden curriculum that celebrates Pentecostal Christianity as exuded in the chapel services and this is also evident in the objectives set in the courses offered in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.

    African Diaspora 7 (2014) 139–164 brill.com/afdi Migration, Transnationalism and the Shaping of Zimbabwean Pentecostal Spirituality* Kudzai Biri Department of Religious Studies Classics and Philosophy, University of Zimbabwe, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe [email protected] Abstract This article explores the effects of global expansion and the importance of diasporic transnational connections on the theology and practice of an African Pentecostal church. It takes the case of Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (zaoga), one of the largest and oldest Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe. The growth of this Pentecostal movement, both within and without Zimbabwe, has depended centrally on the home- land church leadership’s capacity to maintain transnational connections with its own external congregations, termed Forward in Faith Ministries International (fifmi). The article examines how transnational ties, strengthened through the phenomenal exodus from Zimbabwe from 2000 and the associated creation of new diasporic communi- ties, have affected the church’s teaching and practice. Existing literature on globalised African Pentecostal movements elaborates how these churches can provide modes of coping, cutting across geographical and conceptual boundaries to create powerful new transnational notions of community that enable congregants to cope with circum- stances of rapid change, uncertainty and spatial mobility. Here, I argue that zaoga’s teaching encouraged emigration over the period of the Zimbabwe crisis, but combined this with an emphasis on departure as a temporary sojourn, stressed the morality and importance of investing in the homeland, and promoted a theology of Zimbabwe as morally superior to the foreign countries where diasporic communities have grown up. A sense of transnational Pentecostal religious community has thus developed along- side the circulation of essentialised notions of national cultural difference hinging on derogatory stereotypes of foreigners while elevating the moral supremacy of Zimbab- wean nationhood.

  • Faith Based Institutions and Women Economic Empowerment: a Gendered Analysis of Zaoga Fif in Bindura, Zimbabwe
    International Journal of Academic Research and Reflection Vol. 5, No. 5, 2017 ISSN 2309-0405 FAITH BASED INSTITUTIONS AND WOMEN ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: A GENDERED ANALYSIS OF ZAOGA FIF IN BINDURA, ZIMBABWE Lord-Atkin Lawrence Musevenzo Department of Development Studies Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University Nyasha Ellen Majekwana Programme Officer-Fact Nyasha Maganga Finance Officer Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University ZIMBABWE ABSTRACT Whilst the economic status of women remains contested in the religious fraternity, this research paper stresses that Faith Based Institutions have been instrumental in initiating the economic empowerment of women in Zimbabwe. In that respect, the ZAOGA FIF has essentialised women economic empowerment through championing talents and other empowerment related programmes. Through talents, women are empowered to execute both formal and informal businesses from a religious background. Equally important, these talents have effected and triggered the realisation of women capabilities both at home and outside home. At home, some men have also benefited from the projects undertaken by women thereby raising the livelihood status of the family at large. In gathering information, the study successfully employed interviews and questionnaires. Secondary data sources from relevant scholarship were used in the study. For example, the immense scholarship provided by the archbishop of ZAOGA FIF, Professor E.H Guti, provided the much needed secondary information. More importantly, purposive sampling was employed to acquire information from seven key informants from the ZAOGA FIF church leadership from Bindura’s seven districts. Findings of this paper indicate that the ZAOGA FIF doctrine of working using your own hands among both sexes is not just a biblical follow-up, but has also contributed much towards poverty eradication among the ZAOGA FIF women and men.

  • A Theology of Five African Initiated Churches in Botswana
    AN AFRICAN FACE OF CHRISTIANITY: A THEOLOGY OF FIVE AFRICAN INITIATED CHURCHES IN BOTSWANA KE MONYAI AN AFRICAN FACE OF CHRISTIANITY: A THEOLOGY OF FIVE AFRICAN INITIATED CHURCHES IN BOTSWANA Keikanetswe E Monyai B.Th, B.Phil., M.Th. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) in Missiology, Department of Theology at the North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus) Promoter: Prof. S.J. van der Merwe Potchefstroom November 2007 n ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of arriving at an African face of Christianity in Africa. The point of departure for this study is a detailed study of five African Initiated Churches in Botswana. This is an empirical research of five selected African Initiated Churches that are considered to be representative of Independency in Botswana. The study encompasses the following five churches: Bethlehem City of Christ Church in Zion, Forward in Faith, Galatia Church in Zion, St. Gethsemane Church of Christ in Botswana and St. Peter's Apostolic Faith Healing Church. The method of research was both quantitative and qualitative. A broad survey of the five churches was done through a close observation of and participation in these churches over the years, followed by in-depth interviews of both the leadership and the ordinary membership, including men, women and the youth. A concerted effort was made to align the five churches to the broader family of Independency on the African continent. In the process, an in-depth analysis of the interviews themselves was done, as well as of the sermons, constitutions, a selected sampling of hymns, rituals and all accompanying ecclesiastical activities.

The research compared how the two largest Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe apply leadership principles in assuring peaceful continuity of their churches through leadership succession. Pentecostalism is a very strong Christian fundamental movement and an extreme of Protestantism. Qualitative methodology was used in the study. Key informant and semistructured interviews were used to collect data. This study found out that Pentecostal founders and leaders did not want to release power and control of their churches and wanted to die in office. In most cases their deaths leaves a power vacuum which is difficult to fill due to incapacity. This has in most cases led to splits and fights among family members and other church leaders. Key words: leadership succession, Pentecostalism, founder, leader 1 INTRODUCTION indigenous Pentecostal churches that attract a huge following in Zimbabwe has not been a very difficult his study was prompted by the recent increase task (2) in the number of Pentecostal movements Unlike mainstream churches which are administered Tin Southern Africa and Zimbabwe in par- by boards overseas, Pentecostal leadership in Zim- ticular.

  • African Pentecostalism and Sustainable Development: a Study on the Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa, Forward in Faith Church
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 2 Issue 10 ǁ October. 2013ǁ PP.75-82 African Pentecostalism and Sustainable Development: A Study On The Zimbabwe Assemblies Of God Africa, Forward In Faith Church Phillip Musoni Lecturer, Faculty of Arts, Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University, Bindura, Zimbabwe ABSTRACT : The African continent continues to be at the spotlight of international relations. The study observes that a number of western nations, alongside some faith based Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), seldom off-load, for instance certain of their, weapons, clothes, food stuff and drugs as machinations to control and weaken the dynamics of African politics and economies. This is a process of globalisation and neo- colonialism. The study contends that these external machinations are done under the auspices of rendering humanitarian assistance. The paper posits that this gloomy picture that Africa continues to experiences can be equated to the Old Testament narratives, specifically that of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25 vs.27.34). This is the story concerning the theft of a birth right which may explain the contemporary African context. The study argues that much of the external help usually rendered by the west and mostly through the NGOs has faltered to bring durable solutions to Africa’s problems. The study challenges the NGOs and Churches in Africa to revisit their mandate to function as voice of the voiceless so that they become part of the solutions rather than part of the problems in Africa. The study draws its case study from the experiences of Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa Forward in Faith Church (ZAOGA FIF) in relation to its commitment to developmental engagement that empowers the marginalised people in Zimbabwe.
