“Today we ordained Bishop Simbarashe Nzombe of Kuwadzana KweMweya Church. This is a resemblance to the fact that his Church is now recognized by the community and the Government.The accreditation and licensing is consistent with national laws and ACCI Board of Governors,” said Archbishop Ndanga.
Bishop Nzombe expressed his happiness after being conferred with Accreditation and Licensing Certificates.
“We have been waiting for this day. From today going forward, we are now a new church. I would like to thank ACCI Grant President Archbishop Professor Ndanga for his great leadership in paving way for my ordination and accreditation of our church.”
