Apostle Obed Mudzara
Apostle Obed Mudzara joined the Twelve Apostles’ Church in Christ (TACC) in 1997 in Masvingo Urban, together with his wife, Mother Apostle Mudzara, and their two children, Pardon and Tsitsidzashe. The family was staying in Rujeko Suburb at the time, having relocated from Harare where they had schooled and married.
Their acceptance of the Church was rooted in a divine experience. Soon after settling in their new home, their daughter Tsitsidzashe experienced a troubling condition. A Priest named Chagura prayed for her, and the issue was instantly resolved. From that powerful moment, Apostle Mudzara recognized that this was the Church they had been seeking, and the family accepted the faith wholeheartedly.
In the Rujeko community, the family was shepherded under District Apostle and Presidency Chingombe, who provided exceptional pastoral care — truly a Good Shepherd in their early walk of faith.
