In a grand gesture, prominent follower and businessman Wicknell Chivayo donated 10 luxury buses, worth around $1.95 million, to ease transportation burdens for church members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is my small way of contributing towards easing the burden of transporting my fellow church members to and from our places of worship,&#8221; Chivayo said. &#8220;This is money well spent for the glory of God and the joy of His people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buses, emblazoned with the face of Baba Johanne, the church&#8217;s founder, will serve 10 branches across the country. Chivayo emphasized that the buses are for exclusive church use and not for hire or resale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lavish gift comes after Vice President Constantino Chiwenga recently castigated the display of wealth, sparking debate on the role of materialism in society. Chivayo&#8217;s donation, however, highlights the importance of faith and unity in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Johanne Masowe Chishanu stands as one of the biggest indigenous churches, with more than three million members and a history dating back to 1931,&#8221; Chivayo said. &#8220;It was then that Baba Johanne, called by the Holy Spirit, began praying for the healing and prosperity of Africa, the continent of Africans.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the church prepares for its annual gathering, Chivayo&#8217;s gift serves as a reminder of the power of faith, unity, and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News | Global News From An African Perspective\u00a92025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harare Correspondent Thousands of Johanne Masowe Chishanu followers are set to gather in Domboshava next week for their annual gathering, one of the biggest events in the local religious circles.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8479"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8479\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8481,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8479\/revisions\/8481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
