The Prophet offers Ruvimbo Siwela Matorera a lumpsum to silence me, as third Envoy comes clean...

I will foot the bill for lawyers... Dr Masocha tells mother of two

Ex Agape Member starts petition over financial abuse

Former Envoy Elijah Chikwezvero writes an open letter to clear his name

Dear readers, it has come to my attention through a very reliable source that my former best friend Ruvimbo Siwela Matorera has been offered money by Dr Walter Masocha to foot the bill to hire a lawyer to take me and my blog down. University drop out mother of two Ruvimbo recently made a trip to Cosyneuk mansion to see her spiritual father over the distress the blog has caused her and her family. For those who may be new to the blog Ruvimbo was my closest friend during my ttwo year membership in Agape. Things turned sour between us the day I reported Dr Masocha to the police for sexually abusing me. Ruvimbo was the first person I confided in about the sexual abuse after my husband.  In fact the day when I called the police I first told Ruvimbo on whatsaapp that's I was about to call the police. When I first opened up to Ruvimbo about the sexual abuse, Ruvimbo was the first to admit she had always suspected it and she had even seen me being touched inappropriately in the Cosynuek mansion as she had peeped through a glass door one day when I was alone with the Prophet.  After I reported Dr Walter Masocha to the police, I also told my former friend Daddy's Dancing Girl Kuziva Wooldridge, who told Muhengeti Hove who told Dr Masocha. Ruvimbo had always expressed her desire to be close to Dr Masocha and she used to tell me she lived to see the day Dr Masocha would give her a call just like he used to do to me. Ruvimbo then made a U-turn in her position to support me as a friend after her dream came true and Dr Masocha called her on her phone for the first time.  I recorded a telephone conversation on the phone when Rivimbo told me Dr Masocha had called her to talk about me, " I spoke to Daddy, " Ruvimbo told me in the conversation I recorded, " He just said he knows I am the only one still speaking to you and he said he heard that you reported him to the police. He said please tell Jean I have been trying to get hold of her since I came back from Spain, tell her that Daddy still loves her and the Magazine work is still waiting for her. He said that he never remembers molesting you or sexually abusing you and he still loves you, "  Ruvimbo told me. I told Ruvimbo that I was not interested and Dr Masocha was lying that he tried to call me.  I then started distancing myself from Ruvimbo and she started sending me threats not to touch the anointed of God and said I was now cursed. Ruvimbo's husband Odingo Matorera then called me before the family Conference in Augast 2012 saying Dr Masocha had called him asking him to call me and tell me that Daddy still loved me and wanted me to come back to church to launch the summer magazine. I told Odingo I was never going to come back to Agape again. Ruvimbo then went wild and started harassing me and abusing me, the rest is history.
So now she went to her father Dr Masocha for help over the blog and what had been published about her. Dr Masocha then told Ruvimbo that she can engage a lawyer, and he would settle the bill as long as I would be silenced. Ruvimbo then went home and shared the good news with her relatives, but was advised by concerned family members not to accept the offer. Ruvimbo lives with her husband Odingo Matorera, sister who also dropped out of University to pursue Agape duties, Nigel Matorera, and Odingo's young brother Mcwatts Matorera who has a lot of inside information on the Liverpool Youth Sex Scandal. The family live in poverty (assessment based on state of the living conditions) yet Dr Masocha lives in a mansion and he wants to offer Ruvimbo a lump sum to shut down the blog that is exposing his abuse. Typical of Dr Masocha, he doesn't even give a monkeys about the poverty of the Matorera family, he just wants to pay the bill for the solicitors for them. I actually felt sorry for Ruvimbo when the news broke to me, I really hope her family has seen the light and these lost souls can be pulled out the fire before its too late. I also want to remind you dear readers, that the money Dr Masocha wanted to give Ruvimbo is none other than your hard earned tithe monies and offerings. If he really cares about Ruvimbo and her family he should offer them money to renovate their run down council house and buy them new sofas at least. I am not trying to be mean here but I am talking reality. The Matorera family is suffering in poverty yet the Prophet offers money for a lawsuit over a blog! All this to cover his evil deeds. Hello! The man takes home over £200 000 with his second uneducated wife Dr Judith. If he loves Ruvimbo so much, he should do something to better the mother of two's life.
Taking about the Prophet and his abuse of power and money, a concerned ex Agape member has started a petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stop-abuse-in-agape-for-all-nations-ministries. She is calling on action to be done against financial abuse in Agape and she needs 1000 signatures on the petition. Please join the petition and sign and share on Facebook and Twitter. Its time to aact and do something. With that said I leave you with an open letter to readers by former Envoy Elijah Chikwezvero, who was the first Envoy to resign over the Agape scandal due to allegations on blog and lack of support or answers from Dr Masocha. He has written on the blog to clear his name. I personally knew Envoy Elijah as a gifted musician/songwriter  and a God fearing man.

22 January 2014  (Elijah Chikwezvero)


My personal response to clarify portions of the blog and certain comments that have seen my name being repeatedly mentioned, based on rumours and false allegations.

My Apologies:

Forthwith, may I inform the readers of this blog that I make no intention to transform myself into an angelic being, one that is supposedly far from offending other children of God in this walk of Christian faith, known and unknown. Undeniably, I could have verily stepped on many toes as some have already alluded to in the public domain in some quotas, for this reason and any that anyone maybe aware of, I apologise unreservedly. It is also my biblical belief that If ‘I’ as your brother sins, Anyone I wrong should come and point out my fault, just between the two of us. If I listen to you, you have won me over……... Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Why I have written on this blog:

My other reason for writing on this blog (which evidently has become a rendezvous for the children of Agape and those that have moved on, besides onlookers too, is to also communicate categorically my refutation of a bandwagon of falsehood proclamations by other supposedly siblings of the Kingdom of God. For without facts and truth, some have ignorantly but joyfully ridden thereon in an effort to peddle such lies against me. As for others, I cannot vouch for anyone, I speak for myself.

I have reason to believe that as my children are growing up, they will one day, in this generation of internet, if the Lord tarries, ask me why my name is appearing a lot on the world wide web and more so having been associated with ‘allegations’. So I rather chose today and the very same platform that they will read such, to provide them with an answer from none other than myself wherever my name has been called to check.

You may want to know that I now have the liberty to respond on this platform because I am no longer restricted to do so. I may have even read a restrictive statement to this effect in a church service during announcements, I can tell you this, that then, I was a sent one and doing my duties faithfully as a loyal follower and disciple. It is in this same perspective, that having understood that whatever I had to do, and whatever I had to say, I had to do all to the glory of God the Father in heaven, and in faithfully executing my pastoral responsibilities, that I may have then made others unhappy. For that, I have apologised even though mutumwa asina mbonje. I must say that I have never preconceived hurtful intentions whatsoever towards whosoever.

Where my name has been called to check:

Blog of 1 November 2013 – “Most Pastors and leaders 95% of them are recent divorcees. Envoy Elijah,……………” MY RESPONSE: Jean, you were wrongly informed. I am not a divorcee. Lewisham Borough Council has our marriage registered on 22 March 2003 and intact.

Blog of 8 November 2013 – “………. Envoy Elijah Chekwezvero a man i respect so much his only guilty is one wonders kuti how did he allow his image to be tarnished by acting as a Munyai or go between Daddy to getting a third wife (Marrying VIOLA) is this Godly definitely no. But this Envoy is a very good man.”

Other utter lies of comments of similar nature that were made by ‘Christians’ on different days:
. Whoever enlisted me in the ‘Roora Delegation’, if ever there was one started a viral lie, unfortunately, some bought it and continue to ride on it until this moment. I was never part of any such arrangement and I do not know of such arrangements. My relationship with Dr. Masocha only went as far as a being a son who joined ‘the vision’ in January 2008 and an envoy then. I do not know anything about supposed marriages, and I was not paid any monies to keep quiet.

 Blog of 8 November 2013 – “I'm from Coventry Satellite and ………, Envoy Elijah decided to go to dad and told him LIES and Dad blamed all the saints we were even accused of bullying Envoy Elijah. Envoy Elijah how can you tell Dad we saints bully you, ……………” MY RESPONSE: Writer from Coventry, I never reported you, and Dr. Masocha was never referring to Area11 as a whole. To those that were involved, in Dudley that is, I personally apologised to them individually way before. As a loyal envoy at the time I had the mandate to report the goings-on of the Area Satellites, which was a loyal duty. No one bullied me, neither did I (at least out of my honest knowledge) bully anyone. What antidote Dr. Masocha then employed to correct a situation was not my prescription. That was no longer in my hands. I only acted in obedience at the time, and still if it would suffice, I humbly apologise.

 Blog of 19 November 2013 – “….she had an affair with Envoy Elijah before he divorced his wife from Zimbabwe. I’ts very sad ask what happened when OXFORD SATELITE was launched…….. and Envoy Elijah wanted to sleep in daddys used sheets and they booked an axtra night in the apartment ya Apostle and what do u know ….. and Envoy Elijah slept in the sheets together hanzi tiwane anointing imiwe zvakasadharara zvemuAgape, ……………” MY RESPONSE: Writer whoever you were referring to is definitely not me. You had your information wrong. I was never involved in the Oxford Launch. I was not in Agape then. I was never married before 22 March 2003. You got the wrong person, unfortunately you just joy rode the bandwagon of lies. What has happened to Christians?

Blog of 22 November 2013 – “….ln Area 11(Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley) yesterday we received a text from Envoy Elijah Chikwezvero it read,
'No doubt we are in the midst of a raging storm, in the utmost trial of our faith. ……….
…..By his own admission that we are in the midst of an 'inferno' shows that things are not normal. People have questions and want answers Envoy Elijah Chikwezvero. Wishing this away will not wash- Rome is burning and the fire needs to be extinguished ……………” MY RESPONSE: Writer in Area11, yes you needed answers, but answers I never had them save for where my name is mentioned. You have been a follower of the blog abi? I guess you now know that no one had the “answers that you expected” the rest you know. However, I can tell you now that it does not mean that everyone who verbalise their quest for answers are the only ones looking for them. Some did and do so in the background. A body has external and internal parts. I for one could have been a kidney, but as is evident, my move does not mean a dysfunctional body….life goes on here and elsewhere.

As I reveal it to you this day, below was my final written plea for things to be sorted. Since the inception of sister Jean Gasho’s blog on 7 October 2013, it has always been my heart desire to see a totally different turn of events than the now obvious resultant. :-

11.12.13

Dear Envoy Muchengeti Hove
Cc: UK Commissioners & ……

Greetings to u & family.
I pray that this text finds u well.

1st of all, let me acknowledge seeing ur missed call & rcvng ur subsequent communication frm …….I must hv bn busy & not available on the phone.

2ndly,& my main reason for this comm, I would like to convey, as a concerned leader in Agape FANMI, my uneasiness with regards to the prevailing whirlwind of divers accusations that is rocking this Ship.

I must say this openly to u my brother as the 1st port of call that I am failing each passing day, to stand firm & defend the Baby & the Mother, the Vision of Agape & our dear father the Archbishop anymore simply becoz of lack of ammunition. I feel now like a soldier & defender of the Vision who is on the battlefield in our kind of Afghanistan but with no weaponry even to defend myself & my family, hence my name has bn dragged unnecessarily into the mud for things that I do not know about.

As I was preparing this text, I noticed that u hv put 2gether an Envoys Board for the 21st. In my candid opinion, we hv an urgent crisis b4 us that not only needs prayer but action too. As much as I had sold myself to the Vision my Envoy, I need real answers on real issues of real concern & encouragement later. I faithfully led souls that hv broken down & worse some hv gotten lost. It's become that difficult even to encourage them.As an Envoy, I am blank, no idea even answers,yet the saints still look to me & keep thinking we r all harbouring & covering things. Now I refer u to pg78 of the new TF book, but it starts on pg76(the  Whirlwind),para4,the man of God started by saying, Now, don't get me wrong; I am not advocating silence over matters that need to be validly dealt with in the church. ..... he wrote on & on. Now, SILENCE Envoy Muchie has bn predominant. It's not helping.

The meeting should be held sooner & AS A MATTER OF URGENCY B4 THE NEXT GATHERING. Let's fix the leaking roof b4 we invite the rest of the saints into the house.

It has not bn easy for a Timothy like me to jot this down, it simply means a lot is playing in my mind Envoy & my feet r no longer on the ground.
FROM NOW ON,I WILL ONLY be reachable by Text-No phone calls pliz. 

Thank u

 As a follow up to the above, I employed austerity measures as taught in the vision. I understand I made a personal choice and I pray that such a powerful teaching as above comes in handy for me at a time such as this. I also understand that SALVATION IS PERSONAL, and so this was my own decision which should not affect any other. People do not follow me, people follow the visionary. My leaving should not in any way cause anyone to follow suit. I am not the visionary and I have no intentions of starting or running a counter ministry. I am serving God where I am now since 15 December 2013.

 I then left Agape on this note (extract only from the communication I sent to Dr Masocha):-

14 December 2013

Good evening ………………………………………………, I write to inform you that due to personal reasons beyond my control, I have decided, as an individual, to relinquish my responsibilities as an Envoy with immediate effect and seek the face of the Lord away from the day to day activities of the Vision of Agape FANMI.
It is my prayer that God will direct my steps as He continues to build His church the world over.

For the sake of sanity, I take this communication to be my second and last, after the one I sent to Envoy Muchengeti Hove. Again, for personal reasons, I therefore will not be available for further communications.

Mr. Elijah C Chikwezvero.

What the £100k salary for the Prophet meant for me...

Lets talk British Poverty, shall we?

On the 14th of June 2013 at around 1800 hrs at Wigan Community Centre, Joy Fatima Maxwebo, Yvonne Gayakaya and the wicked Gertrude Musuka formed an orderly queue as they testified to the paramedics that I was an unfit mother in urgent need of sectioning. Have you ever wondered why they called me mental? Have you ever wondered my dear readers, why I was cruelly labelled insane by Agape For All Nations Ministries International? I never thought would share this with you, these are the deep secrets of my heart. I wasn’t even going to include this in my book. But I came to the realisation that I did nothing wrong, it was never my fault, and if I hide this from you all I am only protecting the empire of Dr Masocha. In the two years of Agape, I was reduced to a charity case (Social Services can confirm everything I am saying). Life got so unbearable I contemplated suicide. I said with Job, “It was better for me if I had not been born”. I walked a road where I thought those who are dead are better off; I had no reason to live, save my three beautiful children. They are the only reason I am here today, I live for them.

So Gertrude Musuka and her team told the paramedics that Jean once tried to kill herself. But she din’t stop there, she went on to describe my poverty in detail to the paramedics, “The children are malnourished, she can’t feed them. They live in extreme poverty”. Those where the words of mental health nurse Gertrude, as she loaded her car boot with the “Envoy Groceries” that she had received that day. My children were not malnourished, but I am sad to say I did live in extreme poverty, so much I wanted to die. Gertrude Musuka knew well of my poverty as she would often visit my house (unannounced) for ritual prayers. She would come to my house and say she had come not as my Sister in law, but as a Pastor to pray for me and the children. She just used to turn up at the doorstep unannounced. Then she would offer prayers or rather impose her satanic prayers on me in my house. She would pray and pray and pray, often with crocodile tears asking God to take away our poverty. But funny enough not once did she ever say to me, “Jean my sister, I see your pain, I see your lack, here is bread and milk for the children” Never ever. At one point things got so bad we started receiving food parcels from a local church nearby, but not once did I ever receive financial help from Pastor Gertrude or Agape though they were very aware of my poverty. However they waited two years later to mention it to the paramedics at a church service so that my children would be put in foster care. This is not my shame but Agape’s shame. I will not hide the evil deeds of Dr Masocha.


 I am not ashamed to say during my two years in Agape the following disturbing situations unfolded before my very eyes in my life:

·         We often lacked electricity and my children and I would stay without power for days

·         We often lacked food enough to make a meal, my children did not know how an apple tasted like as fruits were a luxury we could never afford in Agape

·         We had no beds to sleep on, we were told by Envoy Muchengeti Hove to throw away things that connected us to the past, we threw away our bed and could never afford another one after that.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka used to walk on foot to work a distance of 23 miles and would take up to 8 hours walking because he could not afford fuel for the car. I once told Dr Masocha that my husband was walking on foot for 8 hours and was concerned for his health but the Prophet ignored my texts. Shingai would have blisters on his feet and he was extremely stressed.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka could not afford clothes anymore, he started going to the rubbish tips to pick clothes from the bins. I cried when one day he came home with a pair of shoes from the dump and said they were still okay to wear. I would often throw the stuff away without him noticing.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka used to pick our children clothes from the tip, I used to throw the clothes away as they were too dirty and smelly.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka stopped buying the children clothes altogether, during my two years in Agape, my children often wore rags and shoes with holes in.

·         We stayed for over a year without a fridge freezer and washing machine, we used to sneak to a nearby university campus at night to use the student washing machines.

·         We had times when the children used to go to bed hungry, there was just never enough food in the house. We lived on basic rations, bread, peanut butter and mealie meal. We couldn’t afford the other normal food eaten everyday by the average Britton.

·         My ex husband started wearing ripped clothes at times I was embarrassed to be seen walking next to him.

·         My three children are British, but I know  they have lived in poverty that would shock even the Prime Minister David Cameron, I don’t even think the British Government would believe there are British children who can suffer like that in 21st century Britain. I will be including the shocking poverty I suffered in Agape in my book He Was My Daddy, what I have shared with you dear readers, is only but the tip of the iceberg.

Whilst all this poverty was ripe in my house, my husband had a good well paying job; I was doing a part time agency job and we were getting child tax credits and benefits, but we found ourselves in extreme poverty that I would say even those in Africa were better off. We never missed an Agape conference, we paid our offerings in church, we even gave the Prophet money, yet we were living in extreme poverty at home. We also had to pay rent for Wigan Satellite, we were also responsible for buying groceries for Gertrude Musuka because she was our Pastor, yet we lacked food in our house.

Agape may call me mental, but I believe I was strong to survive such harsh conditions of life under such an evil cult. Dr Masocha was fully aware of my poverty, I told him over and over of our situation and he often trivialised it. I would ask him why God was allowing such suffering and he would rebuke me and say I needed to exercise the fruit of the Spirit and if I was not careful I would steal my own blessings from God. We even paid the expenses of printing the Magazine from our own pockets at the expense of our children. The Prophet would tell me if I continued giving my tithes and paying money to the Church, my breakthrough would come shortly. I waited and waited and waited till the cows came home. Sadly the breakthrough never came. If anything, every day the poverty got worse. I know for certain my ex husband Shingai Musuka is still hanging in there in Agape thinking his breakthrough is about to come.

My ex husband Shingai now lives in his mother’s one bedroom cramped up flat in Southport. He sleeps on the floor in the lounge next to his sister Patience Musuka. They sleep together in the same room basically, whilst Shingi’s mother and father use the bedroom. It’s a living set up I will never fully understand in this life. A brother and sister sleeping on the floor together in the United Kingdom, anyway I shall not say any more. I just hope Emmanuel Oga (if the wedding is still on lol) is comfortable with his bride to be Patience and Shingai sleeping together. Anyway...

I can confirm today that the Agape curse of poverty, especially that of hunger and starvation has been fully broken and destroyed and I can now afford to eat food in a restaurant, something that was beyond my wildest dreams during my membership in Agape. I could never afford such a luxury. I only used to see Facebook pictures of Sandra and Sharon Masocha in expensive restaurants.

 
Like the daughters of the Archbishop (below) and their best friends enjoying the good life, I can now also eat "nice food" in a restaurant. 


 
 
 
 
As you are aware that Dr Masocha recently purchased a Range Rover (under the guise of a single mother). I am also pleased to confirm that God has also elevated me that today I can be seen driving and sitting in the same car that Dr Masocha is driving. My ex husband Shingai and his sisters have never set foot in a Range Rover before, so are many, if not all of the children of Agape. But its truly humbling for me that the curse is finally broken and here I am on the 27th of Novermber 2013, a historical day for me. 


 

For me I can confirm that my financial breakthrough fully came the day I left Agape. That’s when the chains of poverty were broken in my life. I can also confirm that Dr Masocha is not the anointed of God, please feel free to say anything about this phony, God will not curse you. Dr Masocha is not anointed. He is a false teacher and a thief living off peoples hard earned cash. Yes it so true, to confirm that here is a letter from Dr Ven that confirms Dr Masocha is a thief:


Why I resigned from Steering Board and Finance Boards

I was appointed to the Steering Board in February 2009 and at my first Steering Board meeting in Coventry the following month I was asked by Dr Masocha to be in the finance committee. The month following there was a Steering Board meeting in Kent. When we arrived one of the items on the Agenda was a proposal to increase Dr Masocha and his wife’s salaries by 5%. When we were asked to vote to approve, some individuals asked how much they were currently earning. Ian McHardy said that the Board was not supposed to know Dr Masocha and his wife salaries. We were then asked to vote and four others and I did not put our hands up and we were accused by Dr Masocha of being sell-outs. We were then asked to vote again and everyone put their hands up. I was uncomfortable but because I did not want to be the odd one out I had to do it. On my way home Ian phoned me three times and I did not answer as I was driving. I then returned his calls when I got home. He told me that he was having problems with filling in charity tax returns in respect of the two employees (Dr and his wife). I told him that I was going to buy a ticket and travel to Stirling to do the work. When I arrived in Stirling I found that Judith had paid around £10,000 and Dr Masocha £13,000 in taxes. However, I did not find out how much they actually earned. Anyway later that week we had a Finance Board meeting. Ian told the Finance Board that he was happy to announce that the pay rise for the Apostle was unanimously approved by the Steering Board. I was amazed because I knew that everyone had been forced to vote despite not knowing what their salaries were. I then enquired how much Dr Masocha and his wife earned before the increase and was told £55,000 and £45,000 respectively. I then asked how much the gross income for the charity was during the same financial year. I was informed that it was £240,000. I then asked the Finance Board how they could justify Dr and his wife taking 42% of the gross income. I was told that the salaries were set using the Archbishop of Canterbury as the benchmark. I was not happy so I asked the Finance Board to minute that the salaries were excessive in relationship to the gross income of the charity.


When I was flying home from the meeting I also started remembering that the last time I was in Scotland to fill tax returns I did not see any money coming from the media being deposited in the accounts. Also missing was any money from other international satellites.  So when I got home I thought things through. I told my wife that I was uncomfortable with the Dr and his wife’s salaries. In particular I was not happy with Dr Masocha’s wife earning £45,000 given that those days she was not preaching. My problem however was that I could not ask the Dr and his wife to take pay cuts and then expect to remain a board member. So after thinking things through I told my wife that I was going to tell Dr Masocha about three things that were wrong and then resign. In an email to Dr masocha I told him three things that had informed my decision to resign and these were (1) his salary and his wife’s were too excessive given the income of the charity. In particular there was no reason to pay his wife given that he was not doing anything for the church. (2) Despite the members of the church being asked to buy DVDs every Sunday that were produced by the media, the money was not going into the church’s bank account (3) Despite the church paying pastors in international satellites, the money from tithes from those international satellites was not being deposited in the church’s bank accounts. I concluded the email by saying that for these three reasons I tender my resignation.

When Dr masocha saw the email he contacted me and talked for about an hour. He said that his wife felt that I had stabbed him in the back. When I asked him why he was earning so much given that the church was still young he said that it was because he had put up some money to start the church.  I then told him it was wrong to earn money that way. I advised him to start a business instead. After that conversation the next Board meeting was in Bournemouth in July 2009. When he came he asked the pastors to contact me and my wife so that we could talk face to face. My wife and I met him with his wife at the pastors’ residence. I basically reiterated that I was very uncomfortable with those three things. He accepted that and then said since my wife and I were appointed separately as Board members it does not mean that if I resign my wife has to do the same. When asked about our final decision I told him that I was resigning and my wife opted to stay. Later that evening the Board (which my wife attended) was told that up to that point the media money (from DVD sales) was going into Chiedza Zunguza’s bank account but now he wanted to open a separate church account into which the money would go. When I was told later that evening I said to myself, at least I have achieved something by resigning.  I believe that what I have said is all true and anyone who doubts me ask Dr Masocha and if he disputes anything please let me know.

This is my last letter to you because I have told you everything that I personally know. My aim in all this is not to destroy your church but so that were issues need to be rectified you can ask your leaders to do so. God bless you all.

Dr Ven Tauringana

Below is a picture of Dr Masocha and his team during a luxury holiday in Macedonia in November 2012. During his holiday in Macedonia, I was at home with no food or electricity. I had received numerous calls and texts messages from Agape leaders asking us to buy holiday clothes for Dr Masocha and his wife for the Macedonian Holiday.


Below is a picture of Sandra and her husband Geoffrey on their £3000 5 star holiday in Mexico Cancun paid for in full by church member and Envoy Jessie Dekeza.

Agape needs to offer an apology not penalty for Abuse Scandal...says some leaders

 

Emergency board meeting on the 30th of November in Scotland to address crisis

 
When it comes to idol worship, most people think of carved images and people bowing down to them.  Yes that idolatry alright, but I believe it goes deeper than that. In a Church called Agape, “Daddy” has written three booklets called, Vision Dynamics, I Believe and Threshing Floor. The booklets/pamphlets cost £10 each even though they cost about 50 pence to print. Every true Agape child has to have one, says the Prophet in a threatening manner. The books have pictures of Dr Masocha's face on the covers. Dr Masocha often talks about how the pictures of his face on the booklets have power to heal, bring breakthroughs etc. He says in his own words, “MY CHILDREN IN AFRICA KEEP GOING BECAUSE OF MY PICTURES ON THIS BOOKLETS”. He claims that by just looking at his photographs, church members in Africa are given strength. But then it even goes further than that, a single mother  named Ruth from Stirling is responsible for selling portraits of Dr Masocha in his Archbishop attire. At every conference Ruth goes to the pulpit and starts to yell and cry ordering church members to buy the “anointed” portraits. She tells the members that the portraits will bring breakthroughs into one’s life by just hanging it in the living room.  I am ashamed to say I used to have a picture of Dr Masocha in my living room. It so happened one day I was on the phone distressed and crying to the Archbishop (which happened a lot by the way as my life was a misery)  and he told me to take his picture and start kissing it. He told me to kiss his face on the photograph and he said if I did that the God of Agape would give me peace. He told me each time I felt lonely or upset I had to kiss his face. I feel sick that I was reduced to kissing Dr Masocha’s photograph thinking I was worshiping God.
He also gave me his shirt and I used to sleep in. I used to sleep with his used sweaty towels on my pillow. I used to bath using one of his towels. Even my former husband Shingai Musuka sleeps with a sweaty towel on his pillow as I write this, he also keeps one in his car and walks with one bulging in his pocket when he goes to work. Its so sad what grown men are reduced to.
When he makes a grand entrance with his entourage (young women with flags wearing mini skirts and holding umbrellas)  and his security guards everyone stops what they are doing. A song “Father send your servant Walter” is sung, as women flock to the front spreading their jackets for Dr Masocha to walk on. Each church service a “host” is appointed to sit next to the Prophet and carry his bible to the pulpit. The host even has to pass him a glass of water, the Prophet or his wife cant even pour water for themselves!  It is also the job of the host to constantly wipe the sweat of the Prophet. He has serious health issues which he calls “anointing”. But as if wiping his sweat is not bad enough, people are commanded to eat his saliva from left over tea and other fluids.  If this is not idol worship in the 21st Century, I don’t know what is. Even his step daughter Sharon Masocha once expressed her disgust when in the middle of singing praises to God, the singer had to stop because the Prophet had walked in, instead of continued in worship of God, people started singing Father Send Walter. Sharon Masocha, the Prophet’s step daughter called the incident “very disturbing”.
Anyway here is me rumbling on about idolatry, I'm no theologian okay, so let me talk about something else, yesterday another email  was leaked to me from one of the Board Members in the United  Kingdom. Some leaders of Agape are now calling for a public apology from the Church,  the email went like this:


 AFANMI needs to offer an apology and Not Penalty for Abuse Scandal.

The Church is faced with sexual abuse scandals that have spread across the UK, USA and Zimbabwe. It’s about time that an apology is made directly to victims and their families, expressing “shame and remorse” for what we may call “sinful and criminal” acts committed by our leadership.

These families have suffered grievously, and we must be truly sorry.                    Their trust in the Ministry has been betrayed and their dignity has been violated. I hesitate to admit that they have been grave errors of judgment and failures on our part.

On the surface, it appears that the Board does not require that leaders be disciplined, nor is it making an attempt to clarify what critics see as contradictory rules that they fear, and allow abuse to continue unpunished.

Blog reports are projecting systemic abuse, and others are indicating that the church and its leadership, including myself are in a systematic collusion in covering up the same.

Let it be known that I am taking great exception to my name, my wife and that of my family being drawn into these scandals, and I will be taking stern measures and legal counsel to protect the same.

Am also aware that these cases expose and show the difficulties facing some of us, for though we may feel that the problem has already been decisively addressed by some sources within Agape, it is also appearing to be intensifying, with new allegations of other forms surfacing.

This crisis has damaged the reputation of the leadership, and Agape’s central vision of unconditional love, finding the lost, fortifying the church and fighting the enemy within the body of Christ.

Jean’s blog was anticipated, coming after weeks of damaging reports in the media bringing the scandal close not only to the entire leadership, but also to the Apostle himself.

A matter that has been exposed is the case involving Brother Maxwell Nyakutya which was raised, with bloggers expressing their dismay that the BM who was found guilty of sexual abuse, should never have been allowed to work with vulnerable persons and children.

Though we are aware that the blog remains tightly focused on the goings-on in the UK—to the dismay of many victims’ families around the world —   please note that, the crisis has widened to include the entire Agape family.

Leaders, let us not be deceitful expecting that our stance will sanitize lies, because we know and have been aware that this has been a systemic problem for several years, and let’s not been seen to be protecting the ministry or anyone for that matter, at the expense of the very people we are shepherding.                                                                                                                         

The greatest contribution the Church could have made at the first instance was to stop the abuse of victims, address the entire leadership, the church, sadly of which has not been done.

For saints, observers and critics alike, this incident is offering a critical test of whether we can stem a crisis that has shaken the credibility, and authority of the Archbishop, leadership, and the Church Agape.

With or without our cooperation with civil justice authorities, e.g. Betty Makoni, media and the like, the abuse scandals have put to the test an Agape culture of protecting its own even in the face of crimes against civil and Biblical law.

People are hoping for concrete measures after the reports criticizing our norms for dealing with the abuse. Agape still has to offer a prescription for how to renew their faith. I urge all leaders to go on a spiritual retreat and suggest that we set aside all other activities, and find time to lead the saints to pray for “healing and renewal.”

As a fault of our own making, we are guilty through “perjury by omission” (allowed our-selves to be forbidden to ask important questions), cultivating a strong tendency of approaching such matters as these, as problems of faith, not truly Agaped, lies, demonic attacks, and so on when this is clearly a problem of leadership, management, abuse and a lack of accountability.

Let us also take heed to the fact that the “most glaring” omission in our ‘wait and see’ stance is also our failure to acknowledge our own culpabilities by pointedly not including ourselves in the criticism of the entire church leadership.

 We have to be moved and be direct to the pain of victims. As in this instance, we must be aware that many victims who find that, when they have been courageous enough to speak of what happened to them, no one would listen, and I know some of us will find it difficult to face the saints, even enter the doors of our own satellites and any other church after all that has occurred.

We need to be bold enough to ask those implicated in acts of abuse to submit themselves to the demands of justice, but not despair of GOD’s mercy.

Beyond all these revelations and according to these damning reports, we have been found wanting and that the church did not routinely act upon allegations, committed, and reported cases of abuse.

As reports continue to spread, many questions have been raised about the line between Agape secrecy and civil judicial process.

Our problem has been deepened by ignorance and/or confusion over the interpretation of our unclear, unpublicized church constitution, reiterating a strict requirement for secrecy in handling such cases. Many directives give the authority for handling such cases to a non-existent body within the ministry; with the Apostle being prefect of the same since 2007 to date.

I also see an inherent contradiction between the directive and the Apostle telling leadership to cooperate with ‘them-selves’. The powers that may be say that its discreet/secrecy norms help protect the victims.

I feel that it to be a well-intentioned, but misguided tendency to avoid penal approaches to violations of the law.

The higher leadership attributes that problem in part to a misplaced concern for the reputation of the church and the avoidance of further scandal. And it is said that local leadership should continue to cooperate with the saints in their area of competence.

All these approaches will not, cannot, and will never sanitize lies.

Brethren, let us take a relatively rare step of ordering a special pastoral delegation to investigate these matters. For those who have been forced to sign secrecy oaths, please reconsider, or recluse your-selves from the ministry. 

AFANMI is GOD’s church and as such, he and he alone is to be feared, not man. Let us pray that my proposal letter will be the beginning of a great season of rebirth and hope in AFANMI.

Guess how much the Archbishop earns....


He’s called the Archbishop Dr Walter Masocha, he wears an expensive linen robe and a rather interesting headdress. How he got ordained as Archbishop remains a mystery, but am positive I will unfold that mystery one of these days. The title Archbishop  is so important to him his Envoys are trained on how to introduce him on the pulpit. On his official documents he titles himself, The Most Reverend, a title that is only reserved for the Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop of York who were appointed into office by the council. Talking about the Archbishop of Canterbury, he is the senior Bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. And guess what, such a worldwide figure only earns £ 68, 000 a year, lives in a riverside palace and has a generous final salary pension and a chauffeur driven car, that’s just about it as far as luxury is concerned for the Archbishop of Canterbury. A man who meets and dines with the Queen and is an official representation of the England Church, yet he only earns close to £ 70k. All this information is available to the public, nothing is hidden.  It the right of the public to know the full salary of the Archbishop.
Now I pose this question to Agape For All Nations Ministries International members? Do you know the full salary and allowances of your Most Reverend Archbishop Dr Walter Masocha? Do you? Maybe let Jean tell you. Jean, the girl labelled “insane” by the whole Agape Empire. Let her tell you a few home truths, shall she? Your Daddy the Archbishop takes home more than £100 000 a year. Yep. He even earns more than the Archbishop of Canterbury, a worldwide public figure! On paper, he compares himself to the Archbishop of Canterbury earning more than the real Archbishop on the basis that he claims Agape is one of the fastest growing churches in the United Kingdom. When he was a lecturer at Stirling University Dr Masocha was only earning £35 000 a year. No wonder he had to start a church. Did you even know that his wife, Prophetess Judith Masocha also earns a salary of £50 000 a year in Agape, despite not having appropriate qualifications to take home such a huge pay cheque. Can someone wake me up! What exactly is this woman being paid for? This  is a woman who speaks broken English and can not pronounce the word ANXIETY. That's how poor her English is. Now this woman is earning more than a newly qualified medical doctor. You be the judge of that, whether it’s morally right or not. Forget the bible for a minute, that doesn’t even sound right! What does Judith Masocha do in the church besides sit and pout looking miserable next to her flamboyant title hungry husband? The woman can’t even preach for goodness sake, and for that she takes home a staggering £50 000, all on the church! And now that she has somehow claimed the title of “Dr” I hope you all realise that on paper it means Judith Masocha is now on a pay rise.
Now ask yourself who funds the Prophets staggering salary and that of his pouting uneducated wife? Its you the bewitched members of Agape. He gets his salary from tithes and offerings. He also gets his salary from DVD sales, conference charges and Agape clothing merchandise. Have you ever asked yourself why you have to pay to attend a conference? They tell you it’s to pay for the hall hire, yeah right it’s to pay for the hall. Have you ever asked yourself why you are forced to buy a t-shirt and overall each conference? It’s a scam people. It’s a business idea. And sadly for Dr Masocha, its working, thanks to you all. He’s bleeding you all dry. He’s milking you children of Agape. How can you buy a booklet for £10 when it costs about 50 pence to print it? Can you not wake up out of this scary spell and open your eyes? Smell the coffee. You foolish AGAPEANS! Who has bewitched you? If the Apostle Paul said it to the foolish Galatians, I will say it to you foolish Agapeans.
All of you Agapeans are living in poverty. That’s just the truth and it has to be told.  Most of you can’t even afford a mortgage and live in run down council houses. Ask Ruvimbo from Wigan. I could never bring myself to use her bathroom, it was that filthy. You live in filthy houses. You don’t even drive standard cars. You don't even know what a 13th number plate car looks like Agapeans. You can’t even afford to look after your suffering relatives in Africa, yet you pay your tithes and offering to Agape to fund a salary of over £100 000. Do you know people who earn £100 000? Do you even know what a salary of £100k means? Let me enlighten you a bit. 100k has become the benchmark for the ultimate generous salary. It’s a wage that the majority of us can only dream of. It’s enough to put Dr Masocha within the top 2% of all earners in Britain.
£100 000 is beyond the imaginations of most Britons, and puts Dr Masocha in the same rank as Prime Minister David Cameron, who earns just over £100 000. So let it be known that Dr Masocha is on the same salary scale as Prime Minister David Cameron. What is he being paid for exactly, breaking marriages, ruining children's lives, abusing women, the list goes on. In comparison to David Cameron who is being paid that same amount to run one of the most developed counties in the world.  If this is not jaw dropping information for you Agapeans, I don’t know what will ever be? If this information cannot wake a dozing Agapean out of a wicked Masochagorous spell, I don’t know what will. Those who have ears, let them hear and ask yourself why Board Meetings in Agape are strictly confidential and members are not allowed to know what is even discussed in the finance meetings.
Have you ever wondered why Agape For All Nations Ministries International is listed as “one of the fastest growing churches in the United Kingdom” despite having less than 10 members in each Satellites? Do you really want to know the reason behind that? Why have branches in every town, and even two Satellites in cities? What is that all about? Jean may not be a qualified journalist. Jean may not be working undercover for BBC Panorama, but with my little knowledge and passion for justice and the truth, I believe Agape has trained me to be a private investigator in my own right.  Right, about Satellites, for example there is Liverpool, Southport and Wigan Satellites, all within a distance of about 20 miles of each other. Logic and common sense would tell you that it’s better to just have one larger branch and have all congregants from Liverpool, Southport and Wigan assemble together in one place. It’s also cheaper for the congregants.  Please bear in mind that in each Satellite you are required to hire a community hall and it’s your responsibility to pay for the monthly rents. So what’s this all about? Now here is the drill. Dr Masocha being an intelligent man, he’s done his maths right. He has now claimed an official title of Archbishop, and when it comes to money money money, that name is everything to the Prophet. The title comes with benefits. He has to claim tax returns in proportion to how BIG his church is and how fast growing the church is, and each registered satellite is counted as a branch even though it may have a mere 2 members. On paper the numbers of members don’t count, on paper it’s the number of branches that count. Get it.
 
For those in Agape, you have heard the Prophet claim he is not in the Finance Board and he has nothing to do with the finances in Agape. Yeah right. He supposedly pulled himself out of the board of finance after he secured himself and his wife luxury salaries. This was done by vote intimidation in the Finance Board when Agape started, when the job was done, Dr Masocha  ‘pulled’ out. Then he stands in front of the Church and tells them he doesn’t deal with money, I have nothing to do with the finances, he says repeatedly. Ask Envoy Ian MacHardy (whose wife refuses to come to Agape) if you want to know anything about money. It’s all a lie folks.
I would like to inform you that it is your right within the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to write to the Scottish Charity Regulator and request information about Agape and how it is run as a charity organisation. It is also within your right to know if any formal complaints have ever been made to the Scottish Charity Commission regarding Agape. You can call the number on 01382 220314 and quote Agape charity number SC039070 to request information under the Freedom of Information Act. Whilst you are at it if you wish to launch a formal complaint and express your disgust at how the finances in Agape are being handled, it’s also within your right to do so. You will not be prosecuted. Do not be afraid. Once you make a formal complaint, an investigation has to be launched. It can be any reason, even that you are not happy with the way the Prophet lives in a luxury Villa when all his followers live in run down council houses and are suffering living in poverty. Any reason to is valid. You can also ask information on the MIRACLE RAIN CENTRE Fund since Agape refuses to release the figures.

 Oh just to remind you, its also within my right under the Freedom of Speech Act to blog. I am not breaking the law. Of course David Cameron is not going to sue me for "exposing" his salary on my blog, and I don't think the Archbishop of Canterbury is bothered either. God bless you all in your quest for the truth as the mysteries continue to unfold in Agapeland. Who ever knew the Prophet is on the same earning ranks as David Cameron? But hey, nothing in Agape shocks me anymore I guess, especially when the Archbishop of Canterbury Agape is concerned.
 
Below is a portrait of the Archbishop I drew in November 2011 after I had just been cast the deadly  Agape spell. The Archbishop treasured the portrait so much he hung it in his mansion in the grand hall, the portrait has since been taken down by the Archbishop since I became estranged from the Church. All my artwork and ministry has since been removed from the Agape website as he continues to tell his followers I am possessed and demonic.
