Church Deacon Board
![]() | Head Deacon - Simon Burutu God by His goodness and mercy opened my eyes to see the His Word which was declared by His Prophet, Bro Branham in 1977 at Westwood, Harare , Zimbabwe when I was 16 years old. Since then God honoured me to serve Him and His children in missionary work, Trustee, Sunday School Superintendent and Deacon. My wife, and I have been blessed with seven children and we thank the Lord who has guided as thus far. |
![]() | Deacon - Alton Mudombo I was born in 1960 in Chivhu in a family of 6. At 19 years I was not saved but I had a dream on Rev 3. I did not have a Bible, it took me 3 weeks to find a bible. I later met a brother who gave me a pamphlet on 'Was It an Apple?' My life never was the same again and I was then baptised. I was elected to the office of a deacon in 1989 and since then I have been joyously serving the children of God. I married to Flora in 1989 and the Lord has blessed us with 4 girls. |
![]() | Deacon - Morris Blessing Mudiwa I was born in a family of eight . I was converted in 1991 at 26 years. I was recovering from an illness at the time. A certain brother testified to me. He took me to church and I gave my life to the LORD. I was appointed a Deacon at the beginning of the year 2000 and have been one since then. I got married to my wife Pamela on the 10th of December 1995. To date God has blessed us with four children. |

![]() | Deacon - Nyararai Makwinye I was born in Chivhu in 1960 in a family of eight. I am the only message believer in my family. I was converted in 1982 at the age of 22. I once desired so much to become a Roman Catholic priest. This desire vanished in the same year when one of the brothers testified about the message to me and I was baptised. In 1996, 14 years later, I was appointed a deacon which is a great honour to serve the children of the Lord. I married Eustinah in 1993 and have been blessed with three girls. |

At the age of 17 years, I was invited by 2 of my classmates who were Message Believers to church. On the 25th of December 1980 I gave my life to the Lord and it has been a marvellous change. For several years (since 1990) I served as a Sunday School Teacher and later Superintendent of the School till I resigned to join the Deacon Board in 2008. I am married to Landiwe (wed on the 28th of October 1990) and the Lord has blessed us with 3 children, Mercy, Paul and Nokutenda. |

Sometime in 1977, I was sick when I read a pamphlet about giving one's life to the Lord. I then took heed to the Message of the Hour. I was elected to the office of a Deacon at Eastlea Church in 1989, and what a joy it has been these years to serve the Lord. In January 2008, I retired from the Deacon Board. I got married to Mary in 1986 and the Lord has blessed us with 7 wonderful children. |
