RedemptionApostolic Church
A sanctuary of hearts united in Love, Peace & Unity
A Story of Miracles & Revelation
In February 2018, Apostle R. Chigome experienced a profound spiritual awakening that would forever change his life and the spiritual landscape of Zimbabwe. For three consecutive nights, he received vivid dreams and visions from God showing him gatherings of people worshiping under a sky illuminated by a soft, heavenly light.
"Build a sanctuary not of bricks, but of hearts united in my name."
With this divine mandate, Apostle Chigome gathered his wife, children, and seven faithful believers in their modest Bulawayo home. What began as a Tuesday night prayer circle quickly transformed into a conduit for miracles.
Early Miracles & Testimonies
- A woman healed of chronic arthritis after six years of pain
- A man who found employment after three years of struggle following prayer
- Multiple marriages rescued from the brink of collapse

Monthly food distribution to 50 vulnerable families
The Royal Blue Ribbon Vision
During an all-night prayer vigil, as the group prayed fervently asking "God, what can we do differently in a world with so many churches?", a collective spiritual experience occurred.
Multiple members, independently, reported seeing the same vision: a radiant Royal Blue ribbon descending from above, with the words "LOVE, PEACE, AND UNITY" shining as if written in gold thread. This wasn't merely a motto—it was a divine blueprint for ministry.
Our Vision
"To establish a global network of apostolic centers that transform communities through the demonstration of God's love, reconciliation, and unity—raising disciples who manifest Kingdom authority in every sphere of society."
Our Mission
"To evangelize the lost with compassion, disciple believers with biblical integrity, worship God in spirit and truth, serve communities with practical love, and nurture families with generational vision—all under the banner of Love, Peace, and Unity."
