PHILADELPHIA CHURCH IN ZIMBABWE
An Open Door Church ⛪️
The above motto reflects the spiritual identity and mission of our church, as inspired by Revelation 3:8, where the Lord says, “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.”
Meaning of An Open Door Church:

“….and many more individual doors have opened for us. However, space does not allow me to critically analyse each one of them. This message may be long for some to read, but it is worth it.
