The Methodist Church in Zimbabwe (MCZ) will this week commemorate 120 years of existence with the main celebrations being held at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair grounds in Bulawayo from the 18th to the 21st of this month.
120 years ago, the Methodist Church came into Zimbabwe.
The church's leader, Bishop Amos Ndhlumbi said the celebrations will afford the church time to intercede for the country's political and economic situation to improve.
For some of the church members who were too young to take part in the centenary celebrations in 1991, this year's commemorations will afford them a chance to be part of the church's history.
The Methodist Church was founded in 1738 in Scotland when followers of John Wesley came together to find a faith after his teachings.
The church came to Zimbabwe in 1891 Rhodesia.
During its 120 years of existence in the country, the church has helped in building schools such as Waddilove, Sandringham and Msengezi among others.
