Prophet Freddy Rises Again with New State-of-the-Art Church
The song “Ndiri Kurwadziwa” still resonates with many Zimbabweans, especially during moments of loss and hardship. The emotional track was written and recorded by renowned man of the cloth, Prophet T Freddy, following the demolition of his Glen View church by the Harare City Council in 2020.
At the time, the destruction of the church was a painful setback for the prophet, who had invested heavily in the structure. The experience inspired the heartfelt lyrics, “Ndingagone kuzvishingisa vakomana ndiri kurwadziwa,” reflecting his deep sense of loss.
Despite the devastating blow, Prophet Freddy, known for his strong prophetic ministry, refused to give up. He later secured new land at the corner of Highglen and Mushayabande Road, where he embarked on an ambitious rebuilding project.
Six years after the demolition, the prophet is now putting final touches to a modern, state-of-the-art church complex with a seating capacity of over 2,000 congregants.
“We made a deliberate decision to invest in God’s house so that people can worship in a comfortable and conducive environment,” Prophet Freddy said. “Yes, we went through a major setback, but God has always remained faithful.”
He acknowledged that the journey was not easy, noting that the project required vast resources and commitment.
“It has not been easy at all. The building process demanded a lot of materials and sacrifice, but by God’s grace, we have come this far,” he added.
The new church has been designed to offer ample seating and clear visibility, allowing congregants to fully engage during services.
Prophet Freddy has also been widely praised for prioritising ministry infrastructure over personal luxury.
“He chose to invest in the work of God instead of expensive cars or convoys,” said one church member. “From the beginning, he was determined to see this church completed.”
The official opening of the new church is expected in the first quarter of this year once final works are concluded.
With this development, Goodness and Mercy Ministries is set to join the ranks of churches in Zimbabwe that boast modern and well-equipped worship facilities, marking a significant milestone in its growth and resilience journey.
