CHURCH INTERVIEWS THEIR SENIOR PASTOR
By Simphiwe Sithole
FOR the first time in Christianity, the Shammah Faith Ministries had had an interview with their Senior Pastor BW Mkwanazi. This was held in the last youth conference, hosted by KwaMsane branch. Pastor S. Malunga who is the Youth Pastor and Mr MA Mathe (in the youth committee) was the facilitators of that interview session. They asked Senior Pastor some questions and Simphiwe Sithole was also there to gather some information.
Who is Pastor BW Mkhanazi?
Pastor BW is a man called by God to proclaim the true gospel in this generation of today. He was born at Gunjaneni area, Mtubatuba and rose there studied until he completed his B Ed degree in University of Zululand.
When did he accepted Jesus and why preaching gospel?
I accepted Jesus in 1979, December when I was in Witbank, that time there was a pastor preaching in Afrikaans saying "maar , maar" which means it is not complete when you are still have "but" in your life and I saw myself as that he was saying. I became a believer from that year, fellowshipping until I was called by God in 1998/9 to preach gospel. And God said to me” I want you to leave your teaching job and get out to preach to gospel and start a church which it will be different to all churches present”. That time I was a deputy principal where I was teaching; I faced consequences about that.
You stated that you’ve faced some quensequenses in you calling, please brief us about them and tell us how did you overcome them?Some of the quensequenses I’ve faced were totally based on the calling. Like the other one of my car burnt down. That car no one knows who burnt it but God was trying to show me that if I don’t listen to what he says I will lose much things.
I did overcome that challenge by accepting the calling and I started to preach gospel in crusades and everywhere.
Can you tell us about your calling, the church and the family?
I was called by God in 1998 and started preaching from there; afterwards God said I should plant the church which will be differ in everything. It will not even go by today’s styles, and Shammah Faith Ministries was then born.
And my family is very supportive to this ministry especially my wife Mrs B “Sisana” Mkhanazi, she stands by me in everything I am doing.
Where do you see Shammah Faith Ministries in three years time?I see Shammah filled with prophets’, evangelists’, drunkards of the Holly Spirit, people who able to do every thing in the house of God and prosperous church too.
