Agape Leader Alois Zunguza hacks into my email....

Dear Readers
In the last hour it has come to my attention that Attache Alois Zunguza, son of Commissioner/Bishop Hedwick Zunguza and sister of Board Member Chiedza Zunguza has just paid someone to hack into my account. I am disgusted by Agape. You have gone a step too far in trying to stop this blog. In the last week I have moderated comments tempered with and deleted, I noticed my accounts were being hacked last week. I finally got the confirmation today that it was Alois Zunguza who is behind hacking my account.

Alois Zunguza has tried everything to shut me up, he called Muzvare Betty Makoni in October asking her to get Nehanda Radio to remove my story as he claimed I was mentally unwell. Then when his plea to Muzvare Betty Makoni was unsuccessful , he got his wife to send me a threatening text on the 9th of October 2013, at 21:20 hrs. Her text read

If I were you I would STOP IMMEDIATELY. The word of God says touch not my anointed ones. You are only cursing yourself. His God will fight for him.

Now Alois seeing that his wife was unsuccessful, he then went on to hire someone to hack my account and to shut down my blog. Alois can you leave me alone. I have reported you to the police for hacking my account. Don't you dare open my emails or go through my account. Here is proof of your emails about hacking into my account.

Attache Alois Zunguza second left with the camera around his neck. My ex husband Shingai Musuka is kneeling below Alois. 


Again Attache Alois squeezes in to feature next to the Prophet and the girls...

Oh I just thought would add this one, the Archbishop of Agape in the USA with his bodyguard and his wife behind as he does the famous walk on peoples jackets. 
 
 
 

What the £100k salary for the Prophet meant for me...

Lets talk British Poverty, shall we?

On the 14th of June 2013 at around 1800 hrs at Wigan Community Centre, Joy Fatima Maxwebo, Yvonne Gayakaya and the wicked Gertrude Musuka formed an orderly queue as they testified to the paramedics that I was an unfit mother in urgent need of sectioning. Have you ever wondered why they called me mental? Have you ever wondered my dear readers, why I was cruelly labelled insane by Agape For All Nations Ministries International? I never thought would share this with you, these are the deep secrets of my heart. I wasn’t even going to include this in my book. But I came to the realisation that I did nothing wrong, it was never my fault, and if I hide this from you all I am only protecting the empire of Dr Masocha. In the two years of Agape, I was reduced to a charity case (Social Services can confirm everything I am saying). Life got so unbearable I contemplated suicide. I said with Job, “It was better for me if I had not been born”. I walked a road where I thought those who are dead are better off; I had no reason to live, save my three beautiful children. They are the only reason I am here today, I live for them.

So Gertrude Musuka and her team told the paramedics that Jean once tried to kill herself. But she din’t stop there, she went on to describe my poverty in detail to the paramedics, “The children are malnourished, she can’t feed them. They live in extreme poverty”. Those where the words of mental health nurse Gertrude, as she loaded her car boot with the “Envoy Groceries” that she had received that day. My children were not malnourished, but I am sad to say I did live in extreme poverty, so much I wanted to die. Gertrude Musuka knew well of my poverty as she would often visit my house (unannounced) for ritual prayers. She would come to my house and say she had come not as my Sister in law, but as a Pastor to pray for me and the children. She just used to turn up at the doorstep unannounced. Then she would offer prayers or rather impose her satanic prayers on me in my house. She would pray and pray and pray, often with crocodile tears asking God to take away our poverty. But funny enough not once did she ever say to me, “Jean my sister, I see your pain, I see your lack, here is bread and milk for the children” Never ever. At one point things got so bad we started receiving food parcels from a local church nearby, but not once did I ever receive financial help from Pastor Gertrude or Agape though they were very aware of my poverty. However they waited two years later to mention it to the paramedics at a church service so that my children would be put in foster care. This is not my shame but Agape’s shame. I will not hide the evil deeds of Dr Masocha.


 I am not ashamed to say during my two years in Agape the following disturbing situations unfolded before my very eyes in my life:

·         We often lacked electricity and my children and I would stay without power for days

·         We often lacked food enough to make a meal, my children did not know how an apple tasted like as fruits were a luxury we could never afford in Agape

·         We had no beds to sleep on, we were told by Envoy Muchengeti Hove to throw away things that connected us to the past, we threw away our bed and could never afford another one after that.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka used to walk on foot to work a distance of 23 miles and would take up to 8 hours walking because he could not afford fuel for the car. I once told Dr Masocha that my husband was walking on foot for 8 hours and was concerned for his health but the Prophet ignored my texts. Shingai would have blisters on his feet and he was extremely stressed.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka could not afford clothes anymore, he started going to the rubbish tips to pick clothes from the bins. I cried when one day he came home with a pair of shoes from the dump and said they were still okay to wear. I would often throw the stuff away without him noticing.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka used to pick our children clothes from the tip, I used to throw the clothes away as they were too dirty and smelly.

·         My ex husband Shingai Musuka stopped buying the children clothes altogether, during my two years in Agape, my children often wore rags and shoes with holes in.

·         We stayed for over a year without a fridge freezer and washing machine, we used to sneak to a nearby university campus at night to use the student washing machines.

·         We had times when the children used to go to bed hungry, there was just never enough food in the house. We lived on basic rations, bread, peanut butter and mealie meal. We couldn’t afford the other normal food eaten everyday by the average Britton.

·         My ex husband started wearing ripped clothes at times I was embarrassed to be seen walking next to him.

·         My three children are British, but I know  they have lived in poverty that would shock even the Prime Minister David Cameron, I don’t even think the British Government would believe there are British children who can suffer like that in 21st century Britain. I will be including the shocking poverty I suffered in Agape in my book He Was My Daddy, what I have shared with you dear readers, is only but the tip of the iceberg.

Whilst all this poverty was ripe in my house, my husband had a good well paying job; I was doing a part time agency job and we were getting child tax credits and benefits, but we found ourselves in extreme poverty that I would say even those in Africa were better off. We never missed an Agape conference, we paid our offerings in church, we even gave the Prophet money, yet we were living in extreme poverty at home. We also had to pay rent for Wigan Satellite, we were also responsible for buying groceries for Gertrude Musuka because she was our Pastor, yet we lacked food in our house.

Agape may call me mental, but I believe I was strong to survive such harsh conditions of life under such an evil cult. Dr Masocha was fully aware of my poverty, I told him over and over of our situation and he often trivialised it. I would ask him why God was allowing such suffering and he would rebuke me and say I needed to exercise the fruit of the Spirit and if I was not careful I would steal my own blessings from God. We even paid the expenses of printing the Magazine from our own pockets at the expense of our children. The Prophet would tell me if I continued giving my tithes and paying money to the Church, my breakthrough would come shortly. I waited and waited and waited till the cows came home. Sadly the breakthrough never came. If anything, every day the poverty got worse. I know for certain my ex husband Shingai Musuka is still hanging in there in Agape thinking his breakthrough is about to come.

My ex husband Shingai now lives in his mother’s one bedroom cramped up flat in Southport. He sleeps on the floor in the lounge next to his sister Patience Musuka. They sleep together in the same room basically, whilst Shingi’s mother and father use the bedroom. It’s a living set up I will never fully understand in this life. A brother and sister sleeping on the floor together in the United Kingdom, anyway I shall not say any more. I just hope Emmanuel Oga (if the wedding is still on lol) is comfortable with his bride to be Patience and Shingai sleeping together. Anyway...

I can confirm today that the Agape curse of poverty, especially that of hunger and starvation has been fully broken and destroyed and I can now afford to eat food in a restaurant, something that was beyond my wildest dreams during my membership in Agape. I could never afford such a luxury. I only used to see Facebook pictures of Sandra and Sharon Masocha in expensive restaurants.

 
Like the daughters of the Archbishop (below) and their best friends enjoying the good life, I can now also eat "nice food" in a restaurant. 


 
 
 
 
As you are aware that Dr Masocha recently purchased a Range Rover (under the guise of a single mother). I am also pleased to confirm that God has also elevated me that today I can be seen driving and sitting in the same car that Dr Masocha is driving. My ex husband Shingai and his sisters have never set foot in a Range Rover before, so are many, if not all of the children of Agape. But its truly humbling for me that the curse is finally broken and here I am on the 27th of Novermber 2013, a historical day for me. 


 

For me I can confirm that my financial breakthrough fully came the day I left Agape. That’s when the chains of poverty were broken in my life. I can also confirm that Dr Masocha is not the anointed of God, please feel free to say anything about this phony, God will not curse you. Dr Masocha is not anointed. He is a false teacher and a thief living off peoples hard earned cash. Yes it so true, to confirm that here is a letter from Dr Ven that confirms Dr Masocha is a thief:


Why I resigned from Steering Board and Finance Boards

I was appointed to the Steering Board in February 2009 and at my first Steering Board meeting in Coventry the following month I was asked by Dr Masocha to be in the finance committee. The month following there was a Steering Board meeting in Kent. When we arrived one of the items on the Agenda was a proposal to increase Dr Masocha and his wife’s salaries by 5%. When we were asked to vote to approve, some individuals asked how much they were currently earning. Ian McHardy said that the Board was not supposed to know Dr Masocha and his wife salaries. We were then asked to vote and four others and I did not put our hands up and we were accused by Dr Masocha of being sell-outs. We were then asked to vote again and everyone put their hands up. I was uncomfortable but because I did not want to be the odd one out I had to do it. On my way home Ian phoned me three times and I did not answer as I was driving. I then returned his calls when I got home. He told me that he was having problems with filling in charity tax returns in respect of the two employees (Dr and his wife). I told him that I was going to buy a ticket and travel to Stirling to do the work. When I arrived in Stirling I found that Judith had paid around £10,000 and Dr Masocha £13,000 in taxes. However, I did not find out how much they actually earned. Anyway later that week we had a Finance Board meeting. Ian told the Finance Board that he was happy to announce that the pay rise for the Apostle was unanimously approved by the Steering Board. I was amazed because I knew that everyone had been forced to vote despite not knowing what their salaries were. I then enquired how much Dr Masocha and his wife earned before the increase and was told £55,000 and £45,000 respectively. I then asked how much the gross income for the charity was during the same financial year. I was informed that it was £240,000. I then asked the Finance Board how they could justify Dr and his wife taking 42% of the gross income. I was told that the salaries were set using the Archbishop of Canterbury as the benchmark. I was not happy so I asked the Finance Board to minute that the salaries were excessive in relationship to the gross income of the charity.


When I was flying home from the meeting I also started remembering that the last time I was in Scotland to fill tax returns I did not see any money coming from the media being deposited in the accounts. Also missing was any money from other international satellites.  So when I got home I thought things through. I told my wife that I was uncomfortable with the Dr and his wife’s salaries. In particular I was not happy with Dr Masocha’s wife earning £45,000 given that those days she was not preaching. My problem however was that I could not ask the Dr and his wife to take pay cuts and then expect to remain a board member. So after thinking things through I told my wife that I was going to tell Dr Masocha about three things that were wrong and then resign. In an email to Dr masocha I told him three things that had informed my decision to resign and these were (1) his salary and his wife’s were too excessive given the income of the charity. In particular there was no reason to pay his wife given that he was not doing anything for the church. (2) Despite the members of the church being asked to buy DVDs every Sunday that were produced by the media, the money was not going into the church’s bank account (3) Despite the church paying pastors in international satellites, the money from tithes from those international satellites was not being deposited in the church’s bank accounts. I concluded the email by saying that for these three reasons I tender my resignation.

When Dr masocha saw the email he contacted me and talked for about an hour. He said that his wife felt that I had stabbed him in the back. When I asked him why he was earning so much given that the church was still young he said that it was because he had put up some money to start the church.  I then told him it was wrong to earn money that way. I advised him to start a business instead. After that conversation the next Board meeting was in Bournemouth in July 2009. When he came he asked the pastors to contact me and my wife so that we could talk face to face. My wife and I met him with his wife at the pastors’ residence. I basically reiterated that I was very uncomfortable with those three things. He accepted that and then said since my wife and I were appointed separately as Board members it does not mean that if I resign my wife has to do the same. When asked about our final decision I told him that I was resigning and my wife opted to stay. Later that evening the Board (which my wife attended) was told that up to that point the media money (from DVD sales) was going into Chiedza Zunguza’s bank account but now he wanted to open a separate church account into which the money would go. When I was told later that evening I said to myself, at least I have achieved something by resigning.  I believe that what I have said is all true and anyone who doubts me ask Dr Masocha and if he disputes anything please let me know.

This is my last letter to you because I have told you everything that I personally know. My aim in all this is not to destroy your church but so that were issues need to be rectified you can ask your leaders to do so. God bless you all.

Dr Ven Tauringana

Below is a picture of Dr Masocha and his team during a luxury holiday in Macedonia in November 2012. During his holiday in Macedonia, I was at home with no food or electricity. I had received numerous calls and texts messages from Agape leaders asking us to buy holiday clothes for Dr Masocha and his wife for the Macedonian Holiday.

Agape needs to offer an apology not penalty for Abuse Scandal...says some leaders

 

Emergency board meeting on the 30th of November in Scotland to address crisis

 
When it comes to idol worship, most people think of carved images and people bowing down to them.  Yes that idolatry alright, but I believe it goes deeper than that. In a Church called Agape, “Daddy” has written three booklets called, Vision Dynamics, I Believe and Threshing Floor. The booklets/pamphlets cost £10 each even though they cost about 50 pence to print. Every true Agape child has to have one, says the Prophet in a threatening manner. The books have pictures of Dr Masocha's face on the covers. Dr Masocha often talks about how the pictures of his face on the booklets have power to heal, bring breakthroughs etc. He says in his own words, “MY CHILDREN IN AFRICA KEEP GOING BECAUSE OF MY PICTURES ON THIS BOOKLETS”. He claims that by just looking at his photographs, church members in Africa are given strength. But then it even goes further than that, a single mother  named Ruth from Stirling is responsible for selling portraits of Dr Masocha in his Archbishop attire. At every conference Ruth goes to the pulpit and starts to yell and cry ordering church members to buy the “anointed” portraits. She tells the members that the portraits will bring breakthroughs into one’s life by just hanging it in the living room.  I am ashamed to say I used to have a picture of Dr Masocha in my living room. It so happened one day I was on the phone distressed and crying to the Archbishop (which happened a lot by the way as my life was a misery)  and he told me to take his picture and start kissing it. He told me to kiss his face on the photograph and he said if I did that the God of Agape would give me peace. He told me each time I felt lonely or upset I had to kiss his face. I feel sick that I was reduced to kissing Dr Masocha’s photograph thinking I was worshiping God.
He also gave me his shirt and I used to sleep in. I used to sleep with his used sweaty towels on my pillow. I used to bath using one of his towels. Even my former husband Shingai Musuka sleeps with a sweaty towel on his pillow as I write this, he also keeps one in his car and walks with one bulging in his pocket when he goes to work. Its so sad what grown men are reduced to.
When he makes a grand entrance with his entourage (young women with flags wearing mini skirts and holding umbrellas)  and his security guards everyone stops what they are doing. A song “Father send your servant Walter” is sung, as women flock to the front spreading their jackets for Dr Masocha to walk on. Each church service a “host” is appointed to sit next to the Prophet and carry his bible to the pulpit. The host even has to pass him a glass of water, the Prophet or his wife cant even pour water for themselves!  It is also the job of the host to constantly wipe the sweat of the Prophet. He has serious health issues which he calls “anointing”. But as if wiping his sweat is not bad enough, people are commanded to eat his saliva from left over tea and other fluids.  If this is not idol worship in the 21st Century, I don’t know what is. Even his step daughter Sharon Masocha once expressed her disgust when in the middle of singing praises to God, the singer had to stop because the Prophet had walked in, instead of continued in worship of God, people started singing Father Send Walter. Sharon Masocha, the Prophet’s step daughter called the incident “very disturbing”.
Anyway here is me rumbling on about idolatry, I'm no theologian okay, so let me talk about something else, yesterday another email  was leaked to me from one of the Board Members in the United  Kingdom. Some leaders of Agape are now calling for a public apology from the Church,  the email went like this:


 AFANMI needs to offer an apology and Not Penalty for Abuse Scandal.

The Church is faced with sexual abuse scandals that have spread across the UK, USA and Zimbabwe. It’s about time that an apology is made directly to victims and their families, expressing “shame and remorse” for what we may call “sinful and criminal” acts committed by our leadership.

These families have suffered grievously, and we must be truly sorry.                    Their trust in the Ministry has been betrayed and their dignity has been violated. I hesitate to admit that they have been grave errors of judgment and failures on our part.

On the surface, it appears that the Board does not require that leaders be disciplined, nor is it making an attempt to clarify what critics see as contradictory rules that they fear, and allow abuse to continue unpunished.

Blog reports are projecting systemic abuse, and others are indicating that the church and its leadership, including myself are in a systematic collusion in covering up the same.

Let it be known that I am taking great exception to my name, my wife and that of my family being drawn into these scandals, and I will be taking stern measures and legal counsel to protect the same.

Am also aware that these cases expose and show the difficulties facing some of us, for though we may feel that the problem has already been decisively addressed by some sources within Agape, it is also appearing to be intensifying, with new allegations of other forms surfacing.

This crisis has damaged the reputation of the leadership, and Agape’s central vision of unconditional love, finding the lost, fortifying the church and fighting the enemy within the body of Christ.

Jean’s blog was anticipated, coming after weeks of damaging reports in the media bringing the scandal close not only to the entire leadership, but also to the Apostle himself.

A matter that has been exposed is the case involving Brother Maxwell Nyakutya which was raised, with bloggers expressing their dismay that the BM who was found guilty of sexual abuse, should never have been allowed to work with vulnerable persons and children.

Though we are aware that the blog remains tightly focused on the goings-on in the UK—to the dismay of many victims’ families around the world —   please note that, the crisis has widened to include the entire Agape family.

Leaders, let us not be deceitful expecting that our stance will sanitize lies, because we know and have been aware that this has been a systemic problem for several years, and let’s not been seen to be protecting the ministry or anyone for that matter, at the expense of the very people we are shepherding.                                                                                                                         

The greatest contribution the Church could have made at the first instance was to stop the abuse of victims, address the entire leadership, the church, sadly of which has not been done.

For saints, observers and critics alike, this incident is offering a critical test of whether we can stem a crisis that has shaken the credibility, and authority of the Archbishop, leadership, and the Church Agape.

With or without our cooperation with civil justice authorities, e.g. Betty Makoni, media and the like, the abuse scandals have put to the test an Agape culture of protecting its own even in the face of crimes against civil and Biblical law.

People are hoping for concrete measures after the reports criticizing our norms for dealing with the abuse. Agape still has to offer a prescription for how to renew their faith. I urge all leaders to go on a spiritual retreat and suggest that we set aside all other activities, and find time to lead the saints to pray for “healing and renewal.”

As a fault of our own making, we are guilty through “perjury by omission” (allowed our-selves to be forbidden to ask important questions), cultivating a strong tendency of approaching such matters as these, as problems of faith, not truly Agaped, lies, demonic attacks, and so on when this is clearly a problem of leadership, management, abuse and a lack of accountability.

Let us also take heed to the fact that the “most glaring” omission in our ‘wait and see’ stance is also our failure to acknowledge our own culpabilities by pointedly not including ourselves in the criticism of the entire church leadership.

 We have to be moved and be direct to the pain of victims. As in this instance, we must be aware that many victims who find that, when they have been courageous enough to speak of what happened to them, no one would listen, and I know some of us will find it difficult to face the saints, even enter the doors of our own satellites and any other church after all that has occurred.

We need to be bold enough to ask those implicated in acts of abuse to submit themselves to the demands of justice, but not despair of GOD’s mercy.

Beyond all these revelations and according to these damning reports, we have been found wanting and that the church did not routinely act upon allegations, committed, and reported cases of abuse.

As reports continue to spread, many questions have been raised about the line between Agape secrecy and civil judicial process.

Our problem has been deepened by ignorance and/or confusion over the interpretation of our unclear, unpublicized church constitution, reiterating a strict requirement for secrecy in handling such cases. Many directives give the authority for handling such cases to a non-existent body within the ministry; with the Apostle being prefect of the same since 2007 to date.

I also see an inherent contradiction between the directive and the Apostle telling leadership to cooperate with ‘them-selves’. The powers that may be say that its discreet/secrecy norms help protect the victims.

I feel that it to be a well-intentioned, but misguided tendency to avoid penal approaches to violations of the law.

The higher leadership attributes that problem in part to a misplaced concern for the reputation of the church and the avoidance of further scandal. And it is said that local leadership should continue to cooperate with the saints in their area of competence.

All these approaches will not, cannot, and will never sanitize lies.

Brethren, let us take a relatively rare step of ordering a special pastoral delegation to investigate these matters. For those who have been forced to sign secrecy oaths, please reconsider, or recluse your-selves from the ministry. 

AFANMI is GOD’s church and as such, he and he alone is to be feared, not man. Let us pray that my proposal letter will be the beginning of a great season of rebirth and hope in AFANMI.

There were four of us in this marriage...

Dear Readers
 
During the course of the day after the publication of the blog post about Dr Ven Tauringana., circumstances beyond my control led to me remove the post. However I would like to inform my readers that I have now filed for divorce from my husband of 10 years Shingai Musuka. This has been a tough decision for me as a strong believer of the God ordained institution of marriage, and I believe what God has joined together let no man put asunder.  But it was after a long period of prayer and soul searching along with professional advice that I came to this desision. My sanity and dignity are important, and I believe God never intended for me to be in such an unhealthy relationship, both with my husband and my in-laws. I have decided to make my divorce public because this confirms my story that Dr Walter Masocha indeed broke my marriage and has denied my children the right to a father present in their lives. I filed for Divorce on the grounds of a third party interference in my marriage, as Princess Diana once famously said, "There were three of us in this marriage". I am sad to announce that there were  4 of us in this marriage, Shingai Musuka, Walter Masocha, The Musuka Family (Gertrude, Patience) and I was sadly the 4th one. My divorce proceedings will include the following email I sent to Dr Masocha on 17th November 2012 after I had read an email my husband had sent to Walter Masocha bad mouthing me and reporting me  that I wanted a high paying job and I had said Dr Masocha is living in luxury whilst the saints were suffering. I could not believe Shingai Musuka was taking our pillow talk to Dr Masocha, and that was the beginning of the breakdown of our marriage. So heartbroken was I that I sent an email to Dr Masocha refuting my husband's malicious allegations. Dr Masocha never bothered to reply the heart wrenching emotional email of a broken woman, but he had replied my husband's malicious email encouraging him to mistreat his wife. Dr Walter Masocha is therefor the main reason and cause for the breakdown of my marriage. In-laws Pastor Gertrude Musuka and Patience Musuka also playing a key role in the divorce. Other contributing factors to my divorce include Spiritual abuse, Church cruelty and physical violence by Envoys, Church bullying and many other mistreatments I suffered in Agape. My email to Dr Masocha back in November last year read as follows:


From: Jean Gasho <jeangasho@gmail.com>
Date: Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at 1:00 AM
Subject: In Response to Shingi's email. Please read this Dad.
To: Walter Masocha <vamasocha@yahoo.com>

 
Dear Dad.
I am hurt very much by the email Shingi sent you. I don’t normally read Shingi's emails. He reads mine. But somehow today after I finished a 3 day dry fast, something in me told me to check his emails. Something I have not done for maybe over a year. I do believe the Lord God wanted me to read that email. I don't believe it was an accident. I am hurt Dad because some strong things he wrote are simply not true. I didn't even know he perceives me that way. 
ABOUT ME WANTING A HIGH PAYING JOB
About me saying I want a high paying job as a Manager. I am shocked. Being a Manager is something I have never dreamt of becoming. All the jobs you see I have applied for are not managerial posts or high paying jobs. I don't understand why Shingi said this. You prayed for me and in your prayer you said you believed God would give me a High Paying Job. This were your words Dad, not mine. I was excited to hear this, then I told my husband, not knowing that he would use this against me. Soon after you prayed for me my sister made a confirmation of your prayer and said God told her that I would get a High Paying Job, a job which needs qualifications. She said this to me after I had not spoken to her at all about me looking for a job or anything. I told my husband. Maybe that’s where this accusations of me wanting a High Paying Job comes from. May God be by Judge of me.
 
I never want free money. I don't want anyone to give me money. In fact in the report I showed you about Social Services it said, "Jean says she has been reduced to a Charity Case". I want my own money that I work for, with my own hands. My husband does not understand me. I am very ambitious and I believe I have a destiny. I have a dream of becoming an actress, a movie director, an author  an artist, a journalist, a songwriter. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING. I WANT TO BE SOMEBODY . When I share my dreams with my husband, he mistakes it for being lazy. It hurts me so much. I want to be somebody one day, yet I can’t get a job as a cleaner. People will never understand  me, even my husband's family thinks I am lazy and useless. But I have 3 young children whom I have raised on my own without help.. But the God I serve will speak for me one day.
ABOUT ME SAYING YOU ARE ALWAYS GOING ON HOLIDAYS
Yes I did mention it to Shingi. I said Dad lives a life of Luxury. It’s not fair coz I am in extreme poverty. It was hard for me. A lot was happening. We were lacking food. Sleeping without electricity it was freezing. Things were unbearable. I was crying daily. And you were in Macedonia having a good time. The contrast was too much for me, so I said that. I doubted you for a while. I saw pictures of Sandra and Sharon on Facebook when they were in London. It just seemed so wrong. They were somewhere having fun and living the life, I was at home with three children and not enough food, yet we had paid so much money to the Church, so the thought came into my mind. So strong. So I said that. That’s the reason I said it. I am sorry in my heart I did say that. But I never thought Shingi would say it to you. About me saying I want money from you, It’s something I said to Shingi during pillow talk.  I just said If it was Sandra or Sharon suffering like this, surely the man of God would at least help them. I can’t see him letting his own children Sandra and Sharon  suffer like this. It then hit me really hard. I actually do not want you to feed me. That was never the context I meant. I don't want to be a lazy glutton waiting on you or anyone.  Never. The God of Agape knows my heart. He will defend me.  In fact I want to buy you things Daddy. That’s always been a prayer of mine. But in a moment of  hardship I said those things and I am sorry I said them. 
ABOUT ME ANGRY ALL THE TIME
Yes I have been upset in my spirit. Sometimes angry at life. Sometimes in despair. But not all the times. Even in those moment of darkness I danced for the Lord, I did activities with my children. Again God will defend me if need be. What can I say?
 
ABOUT ME WANTING TO LEAVE THE VISION AND REFUSING TO GO TO CHURCH. 
 
If you can check with the people at Wigan. I have never missed a Service or Prayer or Bible Study. I am active in the Church. I continue to be. We hosted Envoys Hove at our Get Together. I offered to have them stay in our house. Every time I am given a chance to speak, I speak highly of you. I have never slandered you to anyone. I have never slandered the Vision. I love you so much. So much it hurts. I wish I lived near you, to see you all the time. I am well known for Defending This Vision. I am well known for Loving You So Much. Yes in a moment of despair I said to my husband I want to leave Agape. I didn't mean it. It wasn't coming from my heart. In fact I don't even know if it was me speaking. Because I love AGAPE and my life and breath and soul is in it. I know what the God of Agape has done for me. He has helped me. He has saved me. How can I neglect so great a Salvation. To leave Agape I would be a fool. But anyway God knows my heart. Time will tell if I am truly Agaped or not. My God whom I serve will fight for me. 
 
 
ABOUT SHINGI CRYING TO YOU WHY I AM HIS WIFE
I never knew this. I had no idea he feels like this.  Anyway I have written a lot. Shingi has hurt me. If a man is crying to YOU that why did you give me this wife, then God help me how am I supposed to feel. I thought he loved me. I thought we were soul mates. I speak highly of Shingi to everyone. I even testify about him. I never knew he saw me as a challenge. I am hurt and shocked by my husband. I don't want to be a challenge to him. I don't want him to cry to you asking you why he married me. He wants a better wife who is not a challenge like Jean. I am not the wife he wanted. Dad I am not the best wife. I am not a good wife according to my own husband. I don't want to stay in this marriage anymore. I honestly thought he saw me as a blessing not a curse. But I am a curse to him. I suffered a lot in the hands of his family. I stood up for him for years. His family would give me a hard time all these years. They never accepted me in their family. He would not stand up for me. I was young and had no one. I was on my own. They all ganged up on me, even as a 19 year old girl. At one time I lived in Southport and the whole community of Zimbabweans was against me. On my graduation day I begged Shingi to be with me, and he said I had to respect his family first, I went to his brother Shepherd’s house and I was shouted at in the streets by his whole family whilst Shingi stood and watched. I was not allowed to enter his family's house and Shingi would leave me standing outside. He would go in to his family without me Dad, and leave me standing outside on my own. I was very young and lonely and I had no one. I am crying as I write this.  But I loved him and stayed even when I could have walked. Yet today he says I am a challenge. I don't understand. He never supported my Artwork. He thought I was crazy all these years when I was telling him my dreams. Yet today he sees my dreams coming to pass. I can’t do this anymore. The email he sent you was the most painful thing I have ever seen, and I know it was God who revealed it to me.

Yours in Christ

Jean

With that Readers, I  now leave you with this video by one of my favourite Zimbabwean musicians Victor Kunonga. This video tells a story and depicts the cruel abuse being done by Dr Masocha to "children/women" who trust him as Daddy/ Baba.

My Open Letter To The Mayor of Bournemouth...



Dear Councillor Dr Rodney Cooper

My name is Jean, and I am a 31 year old mother of three children. I originally come from Zimbabwe, but have resided in the United Kingdom for more than 13 years. You may not know who I am but I would like you to take 5 minutes from your busy schedule and hear my  cry. As I write this open letter to you, I am walking through the wilderness of this world, harsh realities have been thrown into my face that I have no control over, and I simply don’t know what to do.  Many a nights I have cried tears of anguish, to the point where my tears have run dry. As you may notice Dr Cooper, English is not my first language. But when I was a five year old child, in a certain town called Karoi in a country called Zimbabwe, I learnt to speak English, and to write a bit of  it as well. From that moment something happened to me, and English became the only language I could ever express myself in, especially on paper.  I was always a quiet person, I could never say much, especially how I felt inside.  I then came across books by a certain woman called Enid Blyton, she expressed herself in such simplicity, yet she had the power to captivate my imagination, and send me into another world I could only dream of. I then learnt that when one doesn’t have a big audible voice, they can still be heard, somehow somewhere, yes they can still be heard.

I have to say Dr Cooper you  may wonder why I resorted to blogging to be heard. Well I tried all the more appropriate channels but my voice was simply not loud enough. So in a moment of despair and anguish, as I sat on a tiny bed in a women’s refuge only a few miles away from your town Bournemouth,  I set to pen and paper, and thus began to write. As I walk through the wilderness of this world Mayor Cooper, I lighten at a certain place only, and the pen and paper happens to be my source of strength. I can only fight back with what I know and how I know best.
 

I chose to make this letter to you open to the public, because my story is already in the public domain, and I have nothing to hide but I am in pursuit of justice. I understand that you were invited by Agape For All Nations Ministries International Envoy Sarah Yafele of Bournemouth Satellite to attend a Church Service on Sunday 29 September 2013. I understand that as the Mayor of Bournemouth, you accepted the invitation and attended a Church Service on 29 September 2013 in Bournemouth in which you were a speaker. I just want to point out that on that day, I was in Winchester at women’s refuge, and being a Sunday it was tough. I remember the day so well, it’s so vivid in my mind still. Sundays were always the most difficult days for me, because I had no church to go to, and it was the day I thought about Agape the most, because I knew Dr Walter Masocha was somewhere carrying on as if nothing had happened, yet my life had been utterly destroyed without mercy by this Church.  Well I could just mention that the only positive thing that happened on Sunday the 29th September 2013 was a phone call from Zimbabwean journalist Lance Guma, expressing his concerns and interest in my story, and for me that was somewhat comforting.

Mayor Dr Cooper, when I found out that you were recently a special guest at Agape For All Nations Ministries International, I was truly shocked and had a lot of confusing emotions within me.  You have had first hand experience with Agape, you now even know some of the leaders personally. As I continue to echo on my blog, (the only voice I have)  the leaders of Agape have subjected me to unimaginable pain and torture, including been violently assaulted by male leaders in the name of exorcism.  

Dr Rodney Cooper, I fully understand that as a Mayor of Bournemouth, it is within your duty to attend religious gatherings of the many different faiths in your borough.  In my limited knowledge, I understand you act in the best interest of the public. I also believe each religious organisation you choose to support and attend should be a reputable organisation that also acts in the best interest of the public. For that reason, I address this public letter to you, letting you know of the horrendous cruelty I suffered under your choice of religious organisation to support.

Agape For all Nations is a Church which openly claims the following false misleading mission statements

1.       To reach out through the love of God, and communicate the message of the Christian gospel and way of life to all people regardless of their age, racial, social, religious or sexual background.

2.       To bring real and demonstrable help and relief to such people suffering spiritual, emotional or, physical need (John 3:16-17; Romans 15:13). Finding the lost, equipping the found.

3.       To be a Church that brings families back together through God's love, and a Ministry that represents one big family in Christ Jesus.

4.       To be a Christian Ministry that breaks all known barriers such as race, colour, tribe or clan, creed, bigotry or prejudice (Ephesians 4:4-6; Galatians 3:26-27).

In my open letter to you Dr Rodney Cooper, I am going to focus only on the above 4 missions statements as I try to show you that this religious organisation you attended called AGAPE is the very opposite of what they claim to be.  Its a religious organisation that hurt people. It destroys peoples’ lives and it cruelly puts women under severe humiliation and degradation.
 

1.       Agape aims to reach out through the love of God, and communicate the message of the Christian gospel and way of life to all people regardless of their age, racial, social, religious or sexual background.

In my experience in this Church, I have been subjected to the extreme opposite of God’s love. The Church leaders are very cruel in nature and express hatred to its full capacity. In the branch I used to worship in, Wigan, the leaders are mostly mental health nurses by profession. Three Nurses in particular, Gertrude Musuka,  Yvonne Gayakaya and Julius Gayakaya cruelly bullied me and subjected me to public humiliation using their professions as registered nurses in the UK and their positions in the church as leaders. Their cruelty towards me was instigated and sanctioned by the Church founder Dr Walter Masocha. Most of the cruel treatment I received from Gertrude Musuka, Yvonne Gayakaya and Julius Gayakaya was based on the fact that they carried out a full mental health assessment in Church and concluded that I was insane. I am not mentally unstable, the authorities and medics have proved this. But that’s not even the point, even if I WAS mentally unstable, that does not mean I deserve to be bullied or suffer such cruel stigma. I believe that people with mental illness did not choose to be that way, and it sickens me to the stomach that a church can mistreat someone and justify it because they are “mentally unstable”. Worse when they are mental health nurses.

I also continue to suffer public humiliation as the church labels me a ‘lesbian freak’ on the internet. I am not a lesbian but that’s not the point either, what shocks me is that the Church in their mission statement claims they do not discriminate on basis of sexual background and they say they will love anyone, straight or gay, however I have received the worst treatment of prejudice and condemnation on the grounds that the church labels me a “lesbian”. They even justify the abuse they subjected me to because they say I am a lesbian.


2.       Agape aims to bring real and demonstrable help and relief to such people suffering spiritual, emotional or, physical need (John 3:16-17; Romans 15:13). Finding the lost, equipping the found.

When I fled the Church and my matrimonial home in July 2013, I received no relief emotionally, physically or spiritually from the church; in fact I became an outcast and destitute thus ended up homeless in a refuge with my 3 young children. All my needs were being met by the British Government and various Charity Organisations as Agape forsook me and my kids. So I can also confirm to you Dr Rod Cooper, that the above mission statement from Agape is false. Even the food and clothes my children were wearing was coming from the Children In Need Food Bank. For that reason I will always be grateful for people who donate food to the Children In Need, I never knew one day I would be on the receiving end after being abandoned by a Church and my husband who has a full time job.


3.       Agape aims to be a Church that brings families back together through God's love, and a Ministry that represents one big family in Christ Jesus.

This is one mission statement I believe Agape should remove from their Vision Dynamics books and Website. Agape has one of the highest divorce rates in church history and I believe it is one of the most controversial churches to date. The Church thrives on breaking families apart. My 10 year marriage was broken by Dr Walter Masocha. He did this by turning me and my husband against each other. He advised my husband to forsake me and our children and my husband has taken this advice seriously. He no longer provides for his children in any way. He’s taken the advice of Dr Masocha so serious he has written several times to the Social Services asking them to take my children away from me because he says I am an unfit mother. In his own words as a committed Agape member he says my children needs to be removed from me because I am a) Addicted to pornography b) Addicted to blogging on the internet c) I am an extremist and d)I crave attention. According to my “Christian” husband, these above 4 reasons are good enough to have my children put into care. I am not any of those things, but even if I was I don’t think they are crimes deserving of such harsh punishment of having my children put in foster care when I love them dearly and live for them.  If Agape had it their way, I would be locked up in a mental hospital somewhere, my three children will be in foster care without their mother, and Dr Masocha would find a more suitable bride for my husband. With that I can safely conclude that Agape does not bring families together, but instead it ruthlessly destroys the institution of marriage and family.

4.       To be a Christian Ministry that breaks all known barriers such as race, colour, tribe or clan, creed, bigotry or prejudice (Ephesians 4:4-6; Galatians 3:26-27).

Again I fail to understand why Agape claims the above mission statement as I have been discriminated from all angles especially as a woman. I also have two friends who were kicked out of the Church because they presented with mental health problems. I was often banned by my husband and Dr Masocha from befriending anyone with mental illness as I was told it was spiritually contagious. I have suffered extreme discrimination for things I am not even, i.e. porn addiction, mental illness and lesbianism. I am not any of these things Dr Cooper, but I don’t believe people who are should be made to suffer as a result.

With the above I close my letter. I hope somehow you will read it. I am just a mother in pursuit of justice; a woman used, betrayed and abandoned. I have been left damaged and destroyed by Agape. But as a fighter, I refused to be defeated. For all the other women who have suffered under Agape and are afraid to stand up and fight back, I started this blog. Most of the women who go to Agape are vulnerable adults. They are mostly Zimbabwean immigrants who have come to the UK for a better life but end up on the other side of Britain, the one no one speaks about. These women often feel trapped in the Immigration system and have nowhere to run to. Their only answer to freedom is to seek religious help, and that’s where Churches like Agape come in. Sadly contrary to the “miracles and breakthroughs” promised by people such as Dr Masocha, people will then find themselves worse off than  before they joined these Churches. Its a reality in the British Society today, and my prayer is that somehow one day there will be laws to regulate independent Churches and self styled prophets.  And with that Mayor Councillor Dr Rodney Cooper, I close my open letter to you. God bless you.

Sincerely

Jean
