Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Gospel musician and producer Amos Mahendere says he now has a new title, Evangelist Father Mahendere, which gives him the freedom to minister across various churches.<\/p>\n

Mahendere was conferred with certificates in Pastoral Ministry and Counselling last weekend.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively told H-Metro Entertainment & Lifestyle, the 45-year-old fitness enthusiast said he has offered himself to the interdenominational world. He said:<\/p>\n

I have been sitting on this calling to become a pastor and save my Lord for years but there is time for everything.<\/p>\n

There are several church elders who have been encouraging me to go to Bible School since the late 90s but I finally made a decision after being convinced by Prophet Makandiwa.<\/p>\n

The man of God was open to me when he advised me that I needed to go back to school and I am really enjoying my pastoral studies.<\/p>\n

Mahendere, who was part of the Mahendere Brothers gospel group, and composed the popular \u201cHupenyu Hwepanyika\u201d song, plans to study for a diploma and then for a degree. He said:<\/p>\n

After being conferred with those two certificates, I\u2019m not stopping anytime from now.<\/p>\n

In January, I will be doing my diploma and then upgrading to degree level.<\/p>\n

I have learnt quite a lot as a preacher and I am now willing to save the Lord with distinction after being empowered at school.<\/p>\n

There are so many things that we have been doing wrong because I was in the dark but I am happy that I am now teaching people something that I understand better.<\/p>\n

Amos said he is the first sibling in his family to be conferred with the certificate in Pastoral Ministry.<\/p>\n

His two young brothers, Michael and Misheck, are also doing well, he said.<\/p>\n

Michael has since established himself at UFI, the megachurch founded by Emmanuel Makandiwa while Misheck is based in Thohoyandou in Limpopo, South Africa.<\/p>\n
