what you may want to know
Pastor Sbanga is a child of God who accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour when he was a teenager and has lived all his adult life as a believer. His faith in God forms the fabric of his being.
Family
Sbanga is married to Thembi and they are blessed with three children who also love the Lord in their own right.
Profession
He is an engineer, a Chatered Professional who works in the mining industry. He has previously worked as a Celebrant, primarily offering services to his local church and to the Australian community in general.
Ministry
Since the age of 16, Sbanga has served the Lord in numerous capacities. His first ministry assignment was as a co-founder and leader of Young People’s Fellowship when he was 19, an evangelistic ministry that touched and ministered to thousands in his birth country of Zimbabwe.
He was further involved in a couple of church planting initiatives. He served his University Christian Union as Evangelism leader, vice Chairperson and eventually Chairperson. During this time he ministered across Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and his ministry was accompanied by unique signs of God’s power.
He was ordained an elder at the age of 23 at Bread of life Ministries, and eventually served as a pastor at Harvest House International Church (HHI) in Zimbabwe, when Bread of Life Ministries merged with Harvest House. He holds a Higher Diploma in Pastoral Ministry and a Higher Diploma in Prophetic ministry.
After relocating to Australia in 2006, he planted and pastored Harvest House International Church in Brisbane in 2007. After much growth, he eventually became the Bishop and Overseer of HHI Churches in Australia, New Zealand , UK, Cyprus and Abu Dhabi.
This saw him travel a lot around the world, ministering and strengthening pastors and churches. Balancing family, ministry and work, Sbanga went on to plant the online version of the HHI School of Ministry where he served as the Dean of the Bible college.
Minister of the New Covenant
In 2014, Sbanga was impacted by the Gospel Message of God’s Grace in a profound way. While he had always served God with a pure heart, he discovered how his ministry had always been legalistic, entrenched in the Old Testament. He was impacted by the Love of God in a personal way that led him to delve into the Scriptures deeper with a desire to understand more. The realities of a New Covenant believer formed the basis of his ministry.
In 2015, due to extenuating circumstances, he sadly could not continue serving under HHI. He is currently the founding Snr Pastor of The Charis Church, a community church located in Wynnum, QLD Australia.
Author
Sbanga has authored a number of short devotionals and studies that will be uploaded for free on this website. More recently, he has authored his first book entitled “Rest – The Unforced Rhythm of Grace”, available on Amazon and other platforms. In this book, he uses the scriptures to interpret scriptures in explaining how God, through Jesus, want us to live a life of rest in his finished work. A very good read for anyone at any stage of spiritual growth
