Mr and Mrs Dhliwayo
BOT Chairperson
“My wife and I gave our lives to Christ over 27 years ago. However, the seeds of the Lord were planted in us very early on. Immediately after conversion, we sought a more active and rewarding relationship with God under the mentorship and leadership of renowned people of God.
This inspired me to acquire a Bible Studies Diploma from Africa Multinational For Christ College(AMFCC). This transformation inspired family members and friends to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We have been fellowshipping at Derby Ruach assembly since May 2016 where we continue seeing the Grace of God upon the fast growing church .Our God is a very good God”
