Farai Dziva|Reverend Themba Siwela of the United Methodist Church was a humble and dedicated leader, a Christian organization has said.

In a statement Prayer Network Zimbabwe described the late clergyman as a man who spent his life working for the spiritual growth of Christians across the country.

Read full statement below :

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the departure of one of our key pillars in the entire region.

The entire PNZ family has lost a teacher, preacher and dear Father Rev Themba Siwela who has gone to be with the Lord.

As Prayer Network Zimbabwe we worked very well with Rev Siwela.

He was helpful in organising PNZ meetings and Prayer sessions in Masvingo Province.

His desire to see a better Zimbabwe was overwhelming.

Indeed he fought a good fight… Rest in power.

May the Holy Spirit comfort us all in these perilous moments.
