adminA massive sports gala featuring Anglican, the UAA Church, UFIC, Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services and Zaoga is on the cards. WE start this week’s instalment in Chivhu, Mashonaland East where there are some exciting Sunday soccer sermons featuring the Anglican and the United Family International churches.
Mr Lloyd Mujukwa of the Anglican Chivhu got in touch with The Sunday Mail Religion and spoke about a “healthy football rivalry” with UFIC.
“It has become the norm here that the Anglican and UFIC take on each other every Sunday after church services. This has fostered fellowship amongst the youths from the two different churches. We have also seen that a number of youths from this area are coming to church, first to enjoy the game and then give their lives to Jesus Christ,” Mr Mujukwa said from his base in Chivhu.
