Rev. Samuel Mutendi (1880-1976), the visionary founder of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), was a pioneering African missionary whose impact continues to inspire millions. Renowned for his faith-healing, rainmaking, and unwavering courage, he fearlessly spread the Gospel across Zimbabwe, even in the face of intense persecution. His dedication to God and his people laid the foundation for a church that has flourished for over a century. This year, we honour his enduring legacy and celebrate the lives transformed by his ministry.
