The Harare International Church of Christ (HICOC) was founded by a handful of Christians who moved from New York in 1989. The church emphasised the authority of scripture, the Lordship of Christ.
With God’s Spirit guiding them, the church rapidly grew from the original 16 into an attendance of Over 500 within six years. The church plateaued for a year or two but with the arrival of the Taliaferro’s in 1989, their inspirational faith and expert church-building experience.
Also, during the 1990’s the church embarked on an ambitious and faith stretching Mission Team sending phase. Churches were started, The Harare church also planted a church in Bulawayo.
God has done more than we could ask or imagine despite our many sins, failures, mistakes and shortcomings. But God has always worked through imperfect people of faith. We cannot wait to see what God has in store for us in the next twenty years.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
