Prostitutes flock to church after prophet 'delivers' Bev Sibanda

Prophetic healing deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader Prophet Walter Magaya has attracted several prostitutes to his church after apparently reaching out to adult entertainer Beverly Sibanda.

Magaya is said to have told her that if "dirty dancing" was her source of livelihood, the church was going to open a business for her, together with other young women eking out a living through stripping and sex work.

Magaya called out Beverly's name during the church service to give her a prophetic word but she was reportedly at home that time.

Beverly immediately came to the church opposite Zindoga shopping centre in Waterfalls and agreed to quit her line of work and commit her life to God.

"You need to stop what you are doing, it is not right. If you were doing it as a means of survival the ministry will help you find a better means by opening shops for you to sell whatever you desire be they clothes from China," Magaya said.

He reportedly gave her a shop in town and also the clothes to sell in it.

Other beneficiaries included Veronica Zhuwawo (28), who has been a dancer since she was 16, Mildred Chigaba (28), a stripper for seven years, Nomalanga Baureni (24), a prostitute and stripper together with Irene Masaka and Agnes Maringai, who too were ladies of the night.

Magaya asked them if they were willing to change their lifestyles and they agreed.

Bev apparently  looked shocked and kept saying "Amen, Man of God."

Her manager, Harpers Mapimhidze, who had come with her, sat quietly in the church.

During the service, former Vahombe Queens dancer, Yvonne Javachava, gave a testimony of how she was delivered from dirty dancing and seducing men after receiving spiritual deliverance at PHD Ministries.

Javachava said she would dance in a mini skirt to lure men as a way of survival and fending for her children since she was unemployed.

She confessed that she would visit white garment apostolic churches to get love portions to lure men, most of them married.

"The first time I went to PHD Ministries I felt the power of God move in the congregation and I knew I had to change my lifestyle. I then bought a DVD and received a bottle of free anointing oil to use at home and the first time I took the oil, I vomited and knew that I was being delivered," she said.

In an interview, Magaya said Beverley had not yet gone through the deliverance process since she was still in shock. He said deliverance was a process that Beverly and the other girls would undergo soon.

Since the 'miracle,' Prophet Magaya's phones have apparently been inundated with phone calls from different strippers and prostitutes who wanted to join his church and supposedly receive miracle shops.

"A number of ladies claiming to be sex workers and strippers have been calling us for the greater part of the day advising us that they were ready to repent," revealed Prophet Magaya.

Prophet Magaya revealed that he is going to help 10 more ladies to start their own projects.

"We will ask them to bring proposals. As for those who need some expertise in management, our team will help them out in their new projects. As for Bev, it was a special prophecy from the spirit. The spirit advised me to empower her in the fashion industry," he said.

PHD Ministries has attracted many local celebrities with Madzibaba Nicholas Zacharia who has since become part of the praise team.

Others who have been spotted in audiences include Douglas Chimbetu, Lawrence "Bhonzo" Simbarashe, Jesesi Mungoshi and Alick Macheso's wife, Nyaradzai.

"We have other popular singers in the church comprising of Isaac Chirwa, Douglas Chimbetu, Slomo and Tasso who have just joined our church. These singers came on their own volition and I believe they made their own choice in turning to God. In the case of Bev, I discovered that she has been coming to church on her own and the spirit told me that she had turned to God," Prophet Magaya
