The vision of Glad Tidings was given to Pastor Richmond Chiundiza who at that time was a Pastor with Christian Life Center Harare where he was working with Pastor Steve Bacon. He was also National Director of Campus Crusade for Christ in Zimbabwe. In 1982 Pastor Chiundiza put this vision into action and started Glad Tidings Fellowship meeting at Highfield Secondary School in Harare. A few handful people met in the School Hall on Sunday afternoons from August 1982. The work grew very rapidly through evangelism (witnessing and discipleship) in the township under Richmond Chiundiza’s pastoral care and preaching. A few local churches were planted including, Warren Park, Dzivaresekwa, Glendale and Kadoma. Then in 1986 a Harare wide outreach plan dubbed “Action 86” was launched and several local churches were planted and outreaches were done all over Harare and spilled over to other Cities and towns. By end of 1990 churches had been planted in Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare, Masvingo. Today the church has many local churches including Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare, and every town in Zimbabwe. There are also many local churches in the Rural areas all over Zimbabwe. Outside Zimbabwe Glad Tidings is in South Africa with 6 congregations, the United Kingdom and Botswana, Malawi and Zambia.
