Gift & Tendai Gana

Acting Ministry Coordinator

Our journey with UCSF has been a phenomenal one. We have both grown in our relationship with Christ and knowledge of the Scriptures. As students at NUST, UCSF provided for us a safe haven, a home away from home, kept us grounded in the faith and gave us an opportunity to grow and share our faith. We have both had the privileged opportunity to serve in the ministry as part of the student committee. We both also had the opportunity to serve as student workers and now as part of the staff team.  This is a truly humbling yet inspiring experience. We count ourselves amongst the blessed few who found spouses through UCSF and have now been happily married for nearly three years now. It is our hope and prayer that UCSF can grow and continue to be a home for college students for many generation to come and a place where many will find Christ and mature in the word .

I came to faith at the age of 15, having grown up in a church going family. I was raised in Mutare and came to Bulawayo in 2007 to study Civil and Water Engineering at the N.U.S.T. It is there that I first encountered UCSF and I swallowed it- hook, line and sinker!  I quit Civil Engineering in 2009, and moved to the Theological College of Zimbabwe (which is a stone’s throw away from N.U.S.T) to pursue a B.A. in Theology, which I completed in 2011. God has worked through UCSF to shape my faith, humbling and maturing me in Christ as I experience love and relationship akin to no other. It is with the hope of impacting other students in Christ, that I serve in Student U. I’m a member and servant of the City Presbyterian Church in Bulawayo.

I was raised in a Christian home, - with apparent syncretistic African Traditional affinities, but this did not stand in the way of strict church attendance, participation through Catechism, and a generally  Christ-friendly adherence, modelled by my parents and the Christian community with whom we lived.  In late 2004, whilst visiting in Botswana, I made a conscious personal commitment to follow Christ as my Lord and Saviour: a commitment that continues this day to confront my life: worldview and culture. I joined UCSF, in my first year at the NUST, and have from thereon, been involved with the young adults’ ministry. My relationship with UCSF has seen me undergo theological training with the Theological College of Zimbabwe (TCZ). My passion for student ministry is primarily driven by the testimony of Christ's transforming work in my life. I desire to witness a generation radically moved by the call of God upon their lives: vibrant Christians who are all out for the Gospel – in Word, in Prayer, and in the Community of Faith – living and loving this Gospels' outworking in their lives and impacting their communities for God.

We have been part of UCSF since we were University students at NUST and have a great passion for student ministry. We strongly feel Gods calling on us to serve him in this way. Having experienced first-hand the value and benefit of being part of a setup like UCSF especially during one's University days which is a defining period in anyone’s life, we want to impart to others as well what we experienced and enjoyed. It gives us so much joy and happiness working with a dedicated and supportive Staff at UCSF, who challenge us and are continually helping us in our spiritual growth.

Hi everyone. I'm Mfakazi Ndlovu a staff member with the University Christian Students Fellowship (UCSF), in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I am very excited about serving the Lord in student ministry. The LORD called me to His service through UCSF in 2009 as I began my studies with the Theological College of Zimbabwe institute. I am currently still studying with TCZ a degree in Theology. I am single, and am based in Bulawayo where I call it home. My greatest passions in ministry are teaching Bible studies, meeting one-on-one with guys, missions and evangelism. Its a joy to be part of UCSF and to serve the LORD with all the lovely people within UCSF. I hope to grow in my walk of faith whilst a part of UCSF and impact as many people as i possibly can. God Bless...
