The late cleric Rev. Dr. Jabulani Mudenda has been described as a spiritual giant, passionate leader, man of humility with deep piety and great unifier, _the Church News_ heard yesterday.

Pastors from all corners of the country yesterday took to social media to pour in their condolences  to the family of the late Rev. Dr. Jabulani Mudenda. 

Rev Mudenda, a Baptist Pastor and founder of Hope Ministries was involved in an accident last week at Insuza along Bulawayo/Vic Falls road, he was 46.

"Zimbabwe has lost a spiritual giant with the home going to heaven of Jabulani Mudenda. Jabulani had a passion to share the gospel to his fellow Zimbabweans, to see African pastors trained to teach the word of God and to care for orphans. I was blessed to minister with Jabulani in 2012 and 2014." said USA based Pastor Richard Verdery.

"I was privileged to be part of his leadership seminary which was held in my rural home village,  Samende in 2018.

"He was a man of humility, deep piety and  unifier. He preached the message of being kingdom minded not  local church minded. He made leaders to put aside their differences to concentrate on the advancement of the kingdom of God. He has gone home to be with the Lord so early." said Pastor Israel Ncube of House of Prayer Ministries.

Pastor Jairos Mweembe of Brethren In Christ Church (BICC) said the nation has been robbed of a great pastor who had a soft spot for his rural home, Binga.

"He developed an orphanage in Binga, he supported Pastors with bicycles and bibles, he trained hundreds of Pastors annually at his word - centred seminary he was developing in Binga." Pastor Mweembe said.

Harare based theologian Rev Karekera said the news of Rev Mudenda's demise came as a shock.

"He was such a brother and colleague. I worked with him in Evangelism programs and others. MHSRIP" said Rev. Karekera.

The late Rev Mudenda will be buried at Pashu Village in Binga next Saturday.

He is survived by wife Zondiwe and 3 daughters.
