Written By: Oudney Patsika, the Chief Editor at Sona Headlines & Marketing Officer at Sona Solar Zimbabwe
A monumental milestone is set to be celebrated as Baba Bishop Nelson Nzvimbo, a foundational voice in Zimbabwe's Pentecostal Movement, marks an incredible 40 years in ministry.
This special occasion, which also includes his birthday celebration, will take place from 28-30 November 2025, honoring a lifetime dedicated to "Pursuing God's Purpose" and building a lasting spiritual and community legacy.
Celebration Begins In:
A Foundation Built on Faith
Bishop Nelson Nzvimbo's journey was profoundly shaped by his late father in the faith, Apostle Dr. Abel K Sande, a pioneer of the Pentecostal Movement in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe and the founder of Ambassadors for Christ Ministries International. Bishop Nzvimbo served diligently under his father for 14 years before being released to start his own ministry in 1999.
Equipped with a robust apostolic ministry, he founded Ablaze International Ministries Inc., a multi-faceted organization that includes:
- Ablaze Churches International
- Holy Ghost School of Ministry Bible College
- Iron Sharpens Iron Pastors and Leaders Conferences
- Apostolic Covering Network
- Randall Place Foundation
A Ministry Without Borders
As a prolific speaker, Baba Bishop Nzvimbo's ministry has taken him across the globe. He has traveled extensively to Australia, South Africa, America, Canada, Mozambique, and Botswana, speaking at leadership seminars, crusades, and conferences while overseeing a network of churches in many nations.
Ordained with a passion to empower believers, he has partnered with Campus Crusade for Christ (Life Ministry Zimbabwe) as an associate staff member. This has led him on training missions in Transformational Leadership Movements to countries like Japan, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.
Family, Business & Community
Bishop Nelson Nzvimbo is married to Miriam and is a proud father to three gifted children: Nomsa, an Events Manager; Pastor Tasha, a great singer; and Nelson Jnr, a talented drummer and graphic designer, reflecting a family deeply rooted in both ministry and creativity.
As a businessman, he has also made a mark in the community as the founder and CEO of several ventures, including The Place Academy, The Place Eatery, and The Place Guest House, demonstrating a commitment to building sustainable institutions.
