Leonard is the primary leader of our ministry in Zimbabwe. He approached us asking for prayer for his pastoral ministry. This relationship grew into the vibrant ministry to pastors we have in Zimbabwe today.

As a child, Leonard was raised by parents who were very religious. He tried his best to attend family rituals and to go through most of the church ordinances, but was not saved. He gave his life to Christ on the 27th of November 1995 at a revival that was held near his village.

Now, Leonard is pastoring a church and working with Inter-denominational programs in his town. He has planted several churches. Leonard leads evangelism and also has a passion for kid’s ministries. He’s serving his 16th year in his local pastor’s fraternal, holding different positions, coordinating programs and he’s learning a lot from working with pastors from different denominations.

By God’s grace, Leonard initiated a bible school in 2019, which is training pastors and church leaders for free.

Leonard has experienced difficult times in ministry that led to burnout, and many times he felt like he was heading for a crash. Most of the challenges shaped him to be the kind of a leader he is today.

Brian’s vocational experience includes working in the financial sector for almost twenty years, during which time he also began to serve in the local church - in the youth department, evangelism and administration. It was during this time when he felt the call to pastoral ministry.

For the past twenty plus years he has been a pastor in the local church. Brian has also volunteered in various Christian organizations - Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan’s Purse) as National Prayer Coordinator, Scripture Union Zimbabwe as National Chairperson and in leading pastors at both the local and Provincial level within the Evangelical church.

He has also been active in conflict prevention and transformation within organizations and communities that are polarized. His work includes facilitating church leaders and training them how they can help in conflict challenges within their church spheres.
