Our Story

  • 29 July 2021

    How We Met

    Indeed, cell groups are where people make connections for eternity. Pastor Tatenda and Maureen met at the Mimshack Cell in 2021.
    Maureen arrived first on this particular Thursday but found the venue locked. Then entered Pastor Tatenda. Both mutually greet each other assuming the other was a first-timer. Despite the simplicity of the encounter, something significant sparked in that moment, paving a way that led us here!

    Her Story

    The first time I laid my eyes on him, my heart leaped for joy! I just knew; “lo and behold, my husband”. The subsequent weekend we had an 8-hour home visit and that was followed by countless hours on the phone. We effortlessly enjoyed each other's company and collaborating on various projects. In ministry our paths converged and we would find ourselves doing the same things, in the same department or satellite church. However, in 2023, our paths briefly diverged due to increasing responsibilities and other commitments.Exactly two years later, July 2023, Pastor Tatenda decided to call me. At this point my spirit knew where this was going. I therefore sought counsel from my leaders, after which I found peace in my heart to give him a chance. This one Sunday he asked me whether he should go to Pastor Gert. I asked him why. And he said the most beautiful thing ever, “..so that you can come into my aeon (my world)..!!!!” Well, the question was rhetorical because he had already engaged Pastor Gert. The rest is a story for another day. Personally I am grateful to the Lord who chose him to be mine. Pastor Tatenda is God’s Gift to me and together we shall do great things for the Kingdom. To our eternal Bliss, I am excited and expectant!

    His Story

    Allow me to elucidate the allegory: We met outside the Cell venue. I remember it took me time to open the door to the venue as I had to arrange for the keys to be delivered. On that day, at her first-sight of me, she knew I was the one. Notwithstanding, the same way it took me time to open the physical door, it also took time for me to open the doorway to my heart. Actually, some point last year I even suspended any desire or thought to even get married. I decided to focus my heart solely on serving the Lord because rapture is too imminent. But it was in that very moment, when the Lord visited me, and incited a strong urge inside me to check-up on Maureen. By then Maureen and I had already been confidantes and congenial friends for two years. And, Oh Wise GOD! How He incredibly orchestrated our paths to converge over those years – it just had to be her! Maureen was in everything and anything I was involved with. Almost every outreach, project, WhatsApp group (e.t.c) I was in, she was there. In Shona we say, nemumvuri wacho, tsika nditsikewo na bhinda ndipinde 😂 (like my shadow, where I step, it steps, where I enter, it enters). The friendship was heeeeat, so much so that almost everybody thought there was a lovey-dovey sweet-something going on there. In fact, if you are reading this, most likely you were one of them 😅. Ladies and gentlemen, it's confirmed; it has happened… Pastor and Parents sealed it! We are getting married! Tatenda Nyadenga (We thank God)!

    We Are Getting Married

    Our journey has been one of faith. A friendship defined by our intentional actions. A courtship marked by significant personal and spiritual progress. A union solidly based on Christ, the Solid Rock. We now invite our family, friends, and colleagues to attend our Holy Matrimonial Celebration. We thank God for the people He has brought into our lives. Those who have invested in us through prayers, resources, and wise counsel. We appreciate everyone who has cheered us on and continues to do so! "And now only three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of them is love (1 Corinthians 13:13). This is the story of our life. Indeed, it's an Eternal Bliss!
