The faith community and followers of The End-Time Harvesters Evangelistic Ministry, more commonly known as Zion Praise Tabernacle, rejoice as they celebrate the birthday of their esteemed General Overseer, Reverend James Bangura, on March 12. The congregation extends heartfelt prayers for his continued guidance and divine protection.
Reverend Bangura has become synonymous with the Christian mission, zealously spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ across nations. His commitment to nurturing dedicated followers of Christ has been unwavering, as evident through his lifetime of evangelistic work.
Together with his wife, Pastor Esther Bangura, they form a dynamic duo in the spiritual realm, fervently praying for the redemption of the lost and setting a standard for a life led by Christian values. Their children, Philip James, Joel Miracle, Jessie Godwill, and Judah Zion Bangura, are a testament to their strong family foundations based on faith.
Renowned for his spiritual leadership and deep understanding of faith’s impact, Reverend Bangura is a figure of inspiration, tirelessly working to showcase the glory of God and bring people closer to the core truths of Christianity.
During a candid conversation, Reverend Bangura shared insights into the expansive nature of the gospel. He drew parallels between the Great Commission’s call to discipleship and the Creation Commission’s mandate for growth, emphasizing the church’s role in fostering lives transformed by Jesus Christ and dedicated to righteous living.
Zion Praise Tabernacle has experienced significant growth under Reverend Bangura’s vision, reminiscent of the biblical mustard seed’s evolution into a great tree. This growth is attributed to divine grace and the strategic leadership provided by the General Overseer.
The importance of faith in achieving God’s will was highlighted by Reverend Bangura, who advised believers to seek divine clarity, document their vision, and persevere against challenges that may arise.
Zion Praise Tabernacle actively participates in social initiatives that align with national efforts to instill sound moral values through biblical teachings. The church’s expansion plans aim to increase its capacity to further its mission of evangelism and prepare individuals for Christ’s return.
With existing branches in Tengbeh Town, Patricia Kabba school, and Rokel, and with plans to reach Makeni and Lungi, Zion Praise Tabernacle has grown since its establishment on June 17, 2012. The church thrives through the dedication of its ministers, elders, deacons, and workers, all driven by a spirit of servitude and the pursuit of God’s glory.
Zion Praise Tabernacle is steadfast in its mission to elevate Jesus Christ, conveying the entirety of God’s word and challenging believers to draw nearer to the Almighty. Worship is a cherished practice, with energetic praise times, thoughtful communion, and generous offerings made in gratitude.
Regularly convening, the congregation stays intimately connected with their faith, and at this special time, they welcome all to partake in the celebration of Reverend Bangura’s life and the remarkable works of the Lord.
