PASTOR Sthembiso Zondo celebrated his 42nd birthday on Sunday at his new church in Durban’s CBD.
Zondo used to hold his services at a small building next to Moses Mabhida Stadium.
His family and other pastors attended the opening of his new Zero to Hero church and Zondo told Daily Sun he felt honoured to celebrate his birthday there.
“Firstly I want to thank evangelist Moffat Ndlovu of God’s Kingdom Crusades for partnering with me to open my big new church.
“A church like this is my big birthday present from God. I will make sure I use it properly to fulfil His purpose.”
Zondo added that his new church was different as it accommodates everyone, especially those who don’t believe in God.
“I want this church to revive people and turn thugs into pastors. No one will feel unwelcome because God wants everyone to worship him regardless of their sins.”
Ndlovu told the People’s Paper they decided to partner with Zondo because they agreed on God’s agenda. “We realised Zondo is a lucky man of God who can speak to everyone, including those who don’t go to church. This church will help many people reunite with God.”
Simphiwe Shembe, Nobathembu, Mjikijelwa and others entertained people at the birthday gathering.
Zondo is a motivational speaker on 1KZN TV’s Command Your Day on Mondays from 6 – 6.30am.
