~ Our Love


  • In life, we find situations where people want to be associated with someone because of what they have. This kind of a relationship is based on some material possessions and is as strong as that material need still exist. As soon as that material power diminishes, so is the end of such a relationship
    As a church, our love for one another should not be influenced by what we have. You might be rich or poor, that must not affect the way we relate to each other. We are bound together by the love of God. This true love of God has no conditions for existence. Be encouraged to love one another unconditionally. Together we will be able to build a church that will genuinely love everyone the same way irrespective of their personal backgrounds.
    Reflect upon this :- Romans 5:8
    Let Love be the center of our conversations, the way we reprove, and the decisions we make in life. As Jesus addressed everyone with lots of love, let us follow his ways of doing things, then we will be the true church that pleases God.

~ Our Social Responsibility

Today marks the most important day in the history of our church. it was a day filled with joy and great appreciation as we celebrated our day in the Lord hosting our most important and special guests, as the church, our neighbours in mayibuye. Today we were trully blessed as we shared our love with our local soccer team, donating a brand new soccer kit, to our local soccer team in Mayibuye.








It was truly amazing and touching to see the joy and tears of those soccer stars as the kids were presenting them with the soccer kit, that was donated to them by the church. Even some of our church members shared some tears as the kit was presented to the team. It was indeed a moving expereince. It is about time that we as the church need to show our love to our fellow brothers and sisters out there, saved or not saved, the love of God is forever the same.










As the team returned bakc into the church from their dressing room, fully dressed up in their new soccer kit, to show up their appreciation and gratitude, singing the song that says, " Jesu ke yena wa mathomo, Jesu ke yena wa mafelelo, Jesu ke Alpha le Omega" at the top of their voices, and the whole church joined in to the song as well led by their goal keepe, we were brought to tears, ovverwhelmed with joy.










Brothers and sisters, our communities out there needs our support. It is time now that we should give back to the community as God has always been good to us. It is time to show them the love of God. We at Mayibuye, THE ANSWER CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST, have already started and our pastor had tasked us to identify a netball team in Mayibuye also, to bless them with a netball kit. It is time to get our kids off the street make them to do something constructive for themselves. GOD BLESS YOU








Our motto as the church is very simple: We want to see everyone around us happy and enjoying life to the fullest. It is our passion to see that happening. We therefore invite everyone to join hands with us and make a better life for all.

~ Show some love

I have a few questions worth pondering on.

Your community around you, do they see the love of God in you?
When was the last time you did something for a total stranger?

This is the time to show the love of God, by helping those in neeed.
This year, make it the purpose of your life to be helpful, give and love unconditionally.
