Harvest House International Church

Harvest House International church, otherwise popularly known as HHI Church is a vibrant fast growing charismatic church founded in 1995 by Bishop Dr Colin Nyathi and Senior Reverend Dr Sarah Nyathi. From a first service of less than 10 people in their living room in the city of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe in 1995, this church has grown to more than 6000 in attendance on a single Sunday service. Due to the limitation of space, the current building can not take the number of people hence a total of 10 services are carried out on a Sunday.
