He said:<\/p>\n<p>Vaya vakabva muchechi ino vakanotanga yavo ina OF havasi vavengi veAFM in Zimbabwe [Those who left <b>AFM In Zimbabwe<\/b> and formed <b>AFM Of Zimbabwe<\/b> are not our enemies]. We\u2019re not at war with anyone. Let\u2019s pray for them and keep loving them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Greater city conferences like this one, are intended to bring about revival, healing and to realign the church to focus on its core business of winning souls to Christ, which is the main mission of the church. We\u2019ve so far managed to hold three city conferences namely, Greater Manicaland, Greater CHivhu and Greater Bulawayo.<\/p>\n<p>These conferences have gone a long way to bring restoration, reconciliation, healing and revival in the church. This trajectory will continue until we finish all our provinces. Come March 2023 we will be meeting or we\u2019ll be having the Greater Midlands Conference.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking at the event that was graced by Harare Mayor, Councillor <b>Jacob Mafume,<\/b> Father Moyo leader of the Catholic Churches in Zimbabwe applauded AFM \u201cfor winning souls to God\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, bemoaned divisions among Christians which he said were dividing the body of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Moyo said there was a need for unity and dialogue adding that individuals, inducing church leaders must prioritise uplifting the name of God, and not theirs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
