WOMEN’S MINISTRY
DAUGHTERS OF ZION – A Ministry of Mt Zion Christian Centre
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” Isaiah 60 vs 1
The Daughters of Zion is a women’s ministry of Mount Zion Christian Centre under the leadership of Associate Pastor Vuyi Mkhize. It is centred on meeting girls and women where they are in life and lead them to their destiny in Christ Jesus. Girls and women in the body of Christ are inspired to take their rightful place and fulfill their God-given role as true spiritual leaders. Women from all walks of life get together to pray, worship, share and grow in their spiritual, personal, family, career and business lives. Women and girls learn how to walk through their trials to their destiny to achieve all that God has for them.
Every girl or woman who is a member of Mount Zion Christian Centre is automatically a member of the Daughters of Zion.
The Daughters of Zion Life Enrichment Programme
As the Daughters of Zion, we believe each and every girl or woman has been created by God for a divine purpose. We believe that your present circumstances do not necessarily define your future. The majority of girls and women at Mount Zion CC come from previously disadvantaged communities where they face a variety of social ills. It is our belief that these women – through the love of Christ and support from other women - can rise above their circumstances and take their rightful place in society.
The programme offers support on:
- Spiritual Guidance
- Leadership
- Relationships
- Wellness
- Abstinence
- Finances
- Self-esteem
- Career Development and more
The life enrichment programme is based on Pastor Vuyi Mkhize’s vision for women at Mount Zion to become one. It is enchored on the fact that women always need other women. God created us to be social and interacting with other Christian women is biblical. This is achieved by creating social events where women can be together. These include life experience sharing sessions called Sister-to-Sister Encounters.This is where ladies share their experiences and empower other women to face their own challenges, with the Word of God as their weapon of choice.
Sister-to-Sister Encounters also involve prayer meetings where esteemed speakers address different topics that affect women like relationships, finances, health issues etc. Emphasis is also placed on the fact that women do not exist in isolation and are encouraged to build healthy relationships with the men in their lives, be it fathers, brothers, husbands, colleagues, business partners etc.
A greater part of the Life Enrichment Programme is also to encourage leadership and mentorship within the body of Christ This is where girls and younger women are mentored by other ladies and help them navigate through the challenges of life to fulfill their purpose.
Every member of the Daughters of Zion participates by giving back either financially or by volunteering her services in other ministries in the church like ushers, Children’s Ministry teachers or any other labor of love within the ministry.
