Apostle Batsirai Java, the founder of Tabernacles of Grace Church, has opened a new church building in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The giant structure, named the Grace Centre, has been constructed at a cost of over US$700,000 and can accommodate 1,500 seated congregants. The building also includes offices and a children’s playground and will host various community events.
Apostle Java's journey from humble beginnings to this significant milestone is a testimony of patience, fortitude, and grace. Starting with a small church in a living room in 2005, he now leads one of the most dynamic and vibrant churches in Harare, with seven assemblies throughout Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Apart from running a Ministerial Bible School and philanthropic ministries, Java is also an accomplished author and has a TV channel reaching over 64 million people globally.
