Citizens International Organiser, Honourable Amos Chibaya, has donated 190 bags of cement to the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) to support the construction of a new pastor’s house in Mkoba North, Gweru.
The donation, made on Saturday, 26 July 2025, is part of a broader community-driven initiative aimed at ensuring decent housing for local church leaders. Speaking during the handover, Chibaya said the gesture was inspired by the important role pastors play in people’s lives.
“I have donated this cement in support of the RCZ Church’s vision for the construction of the pastor’s house,” said Chibaya. “Pastors are the servants of God who pray for us and encourage us in our daily lives.
They deserve to have decent and beautiful accommodation.”
Chibaya also praised the RCZ for its visible and long-standing work in uplifting communities across Zimbabwe through its various ministries and outreach programs.
“The contributions made by the RCZ church in our community are invaluable,” he noted. “Pastors play a critical role in fostering community development and improving the quality of life for many.”
The donation was welcomed with gratitude by congregants and community members. Mkoba Ward 20 resident Derrick Shumba expressed appreciation for Chibaya’s support.
“This donation will greatly aid the church in realising their vision for a comfortable and welcoming pastor’s house,” said Shumba.
In addition to Chibaya’s contribution, local businesspeople and church members have also donated building materials such as bricks and roofing supplies to help complete the project.
The ongoing construction of the pastor’s house stands as a symbol of unity and collaboration in Mkoba North, reflecting the shared commitment of local leaders and the church to improve lives through faith and community engagement.
