November 8, 2023
In a momentous decision that has sent ripples of excitement through the Seventh-day Adventist community in the Southern Province, the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division (SID) Executive Committee convened on November 7, 2023, and officially approved the proposal to realign the South Zambia Conference (SZC) into two co-equal conferences: Rusangu and Mosi O Tunya Conference.
For years, rumors of this transformation had swirled within the church, leaving members eagerly anticipating the day when the dream would become a reality. That day has finally arrived, and the entire region is abuzz with exhilaration.
The move to divide the SZC into two co-equal conferences signifies a significant step forward for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Southern Zambia. It is a testament to the visionary leadership of the conference and the dedication of all those who have worked tirelessly to see this project through to fruition.
The South Zambia Conference has a rich history and a vibrant membership, making it one of the cornerstones of the Adventist faith in the region. By splitting it into Rusangu and Mosi O Tunya Conference, the church aims to enhance its ability to meet the spiritual and administrative needs of its members more effectively.
Rusangu and Mosi O Tunya Conferences will stand as co-equal entities, each with its own leadership, mission, and vision. This restructuring is expected to bring about new opportunities for growth, outreach, and ministry, enabling the church to better serve its diverse congregation across the region.
Members of the Southern Province now eagerly anticipate the new chapters that will be written as Rusangu and Mosi O Tunya Conferences begin their journeys. This momentous development underscores the enduring spirit of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a faith community committed to growth, service, and spreading the message of hope to all.
As the church continues to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of its members, the official realignment of SZC into these two dynamic conferences is a testament to its unwavering dedication to the Southern Zambia community. The future looks bright for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the region, and its members are ready to embark on this exciting journey of faith and transformation.
