Our story

A people shaped by the good news.

We exist to reveal Jesus Christ, build mature disciples, and carry His love into the world around us.

Who we are

Rooted in worship.
Alive in community.

New Gospel Church of God is a community of believers committed to authentic worship, spiritual growth, and practical service.

As we grow, our purpose stays personal: helping people know God, build healthy relationships, and use their gifts to bring hope to others.

Our history

A calling that became a church.

New Gospel Church of God grew through a shared commitment to preach the gospel, nurture believers, and establish worshipping communities in Zimbabwe and beyond.

1970

Susan Chenjerai gives her life to Christ, beginning the faith journey that would reshape her life.

1970s

After receiving a call to ministry, she and her husband begin preaching in farming communities.

1984

She leaves acting and secular employment to dedicate herself fully to Christian ministry.

Today

The church’s legacy continues through assemblies in Zimbabwe and ministry beyond its borders.

A life of faith

Susan Chenjerai
“Mai Rwizi”

From a national stage to a life poured out in ministry.

Known to generations of Zimbabweans as actress, singer, and songwriter “Mai Rwizi”, Susan Chenjerai experienced a deeper calling that eventually led her away from public entertainment and into full-time ministry.

Together with her late husband, she helped lead New Gospel Church of God and served its communities for decades. Her story is part of the church’s inheritance: gifts surrendered to God, faith expressed through service, and a gospel carried across borders.
