The Beginning and the Future of Rivers of Living Waters Ministries

Our church was founded by Pastor Stephen and Pascaline Zondo on the 24^th September 1988. Our first service was held at their house, 567015 Zone 3, Sebokeng, with a membership total of three; bishop, his wife and his son, Nkosana. By the end of the year we had eleven adults and lots of children.

The ministry relocated to a car-port, double garage in Zone 12 Sebokeng at Rev. Tshabalala's house, we then moved to a classroom at Sokwazi Secondary School in Zone 8. The place became small as the church was growing very fast. We then, moved to Zone 13, Shadvaal Center, then to Sandamela Highway bottle store and ultimately to the were we are today.
Arriving in Evaton, we started with a yellow and blue 700 seater tent (snow peak). Our growth and development has been consistent and steadfast, with a membership of over 5000 congregants, including children and four Satellite churches across South Africa.

In order to maintain our mission and expand our outreach, with more than twenty service ministries, which encourage members to express their various gifts and talents in addition, Rivers of Living Waters Ministries employs 13 full-time employees. We believe that the local church is a body of believers systematically assembled together by the Holy Spirit with a common vision, having all things necessary for the perfection of the saints. We believe that every believer must belong to, attached to, firmly fixed in, committed and submitted to a local Church.

As a Church we are committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the total person; Spirit, Soul and Body; and to serve the community we live in by freely giving ourselves and our substance, while staying close to God by living a holistic life, and being sensitive to his Spirit through fervent prayer.
