KWEKWE, Zimbabwe — Construction is gathering pace at New Creation Life Ministries International’s Life Centre in Mbizo, where workers are building a perimeter wall and a children’s auditorium ahead of the church’s Apostolic Summit in October.
Large boulders are being removed from the site to make way for the perimeter wall, which is expected to encircle the property housing the ministry’s 2,400-seat main auditorium.
The construction is part of continuing development at the Life Centre as NCL prepares to host the Apostolic Summit 2026.
The ministry has adopted “Walking in Dominion” as its theme for 2026 and has linked the construction work to biblical teachings on faith and overcoming obstacles.
Work is also progressing on a junior auditorium that will serve the church’s children’s ministry. The structure, located next to the main auditorium, has moved beyond the foundation stage, with brickwork underway.
The site was largely rugged terrain and covered by boulders about two months ago, according to the ministry.
The development involves structural engineers, architects, designers, artisans, project managers, site supervisors and builders.
NCL was co-founded by Apostle Joy Museba and his wife, Pastor Mary Museba, and grew from a small fellowship in Kwekwe.
The ministry says the Life Centre development is intended to provide space not only for worship but also for its leadership, charity and community programs.
Plans for the property include conference facilities that will accommodate programs such as Kingdom Affluent Masters, leadership seminars and activities run through the Tinenyasha Charity Arm.
The ministry draws its identity from 2 Corinthians 5:17, which speaks of believers becoming a “new creation,” and says the development of the Life Centre reflects its goal of equipping members for ministry and community service.
NCL also describes congregants as “landlords,” reflecting its view that members have a collective stake in the development of the Life Centre.
Construction is expected to continue as the October Apostolic Summit approaches, with work on the perimeter wall and junior auditorium among the most visible developments at the property.
