Glory Ministries, founded in 2001 by Bishop (Apostle) Pride Sibiya; hosts many calendar events throughout the years.
Of all these events, Tiyambuke International Christian Convention (TICC) is the biggest and most popular; and it draws different people from all walks of life, cutting across the length and breadth of the entire world. There are many spiritual, personal and professional reasons why you must attend Tiyambuke, and below is a compilation of 10 reasons for you not to miss Tiyambuke!!
1. Presence of Kingdom Legends: The Tiyambuke Convention has attracted many Kingdom Legends over the years. Its pinnacle chapter remains Tiyambuke 2015: “Footprints of the Legends”, which was graced by Bishop Abel Sande “The Caterpillar”, who was almost 90 years of age at that time.

Tiyambuke has recorded footprints of legends such as Archbishop Asa Gurupira, Apostle Alexander Chisango, Apostle Alfred Jaka, Apostle Noah Parwaringira, Bishop Ngwiza Mkandla, Evangelist Paul Saungweme and Prophet Blessing Chiza.
All these are tried and tested Kingdom Legends; who “have heard, have seen and have touched it”, if I may quote Archbishop Gurupira from his message: “Dimensions of Fellowships”; Tiyambuke 2015 Chapter. Attending Tiyambuke gives you an opportunity to receive and download from these Kingdom Legends, and many other keynote speakers. They will give you practical wisdom and understanding on how to manage your life and run a ministry in a Godly manner. Make a date with Kingdom Legends, even at this year’s Tiyambuke.
2. Sharpening The Axe: The world of aviation is blessed with many highly qualified and experienced pilots. You can come across a flight commander (captain) who has amassed more than 25000 flying hours under his professional belt, but being asked to attend a refresher Simulator Training course to “sharpen his flying skills”. Ordinarily, this does not make any sense! How can such an accomplished aviator continuously undergo “retraining? The reason is simple: change is constant, and hence the need to continuously “sharpen the axe”.

The same applies to our Christian lives and offices of calling. We will always require someone else to sharpen our axes, lest we might “crash our callings”. Come to Tiyambuke and have your spiritual axes sharpened.
3. New Tools Of The Trade: Attending Tiyambuke offers one with numerous options to acquire and/or upgrade to “new tools of trade”. These can range from live PowerPoint presentations, digital video disks, audio recordings, photos, published books, pamphlets, notes handouts and designs/decorations. After attending such a high profile conference one must go back home armed with new tools of the trade. Come and grab your new tools of the trade at Tiyambuke.
4. Networking and Building New Relationships: Tiyambuke attracts diverse people across the world, who all come to congregate together for one week as they enjoy life-changing teachings and ministration of the word. With such a dense population congregating under one roof, there are a lot of opportunities for one to create new networks and relationships.

Some people can get their business breakthroughs during Tiyambuke! Some can get life-changing invitations during Tiyambuke! Others can even get connected to their life-time partners!
There is a massive opportunity for networking and the creation of new relationships. Don’t miss Tiyambuke; it could just be what God has ordered for you!
5. Change Of Learning Zone: Your servant of God could have taught you many times about salvation, baptism, tithing, evangelism, honouring servants of God, the Holy Spirit and many other critical biblical topics. But, one way or the other, you could still be struggling to understand these issues. Sometimes all you need is just a change of environment in order to grasp the same subjects but coming from a different voice. Many people suffer a lot from the spirit of familiarity, but when you hear another servant of God ministering on the same message, you could change your perspectives for the better. Tiyambuke offers you that opportunity. Come and learn from different voices in a different environment.
6. Investing In Yourself: Every year, farmers take time to put seed to the ground. Thereafter they go home expecting to harvest because they know they have invested in their fields. The same applies to us as human beings; we need to invest in our lives so that tomorrow we can harvest better returns. Tiyambuke offers you an opportunity to come and invest in your future spiritual life. Come and receive great teachings and invest in your spiritual growth. You cannot afford to suffer from “spiritual kwashiorkor” when Tiyambuke can just offer you your Kairos moment with God!
7. Learning Opportunities For All: Tiyambuke programs are designed in such a way that there will be morning/afternoon sessions for leadership, youth, men, women, couples and children’s church. Evening sessions are normally christened apostolic nights, prophetic nights, evangelism nights and worship nights. All these are meant to cover the diversity of people in attendance. Therefore, one way or another, you will have at least one area of speciality that addresses your spiritual needs. Make a date with God at Tiyambuke!
8. The Plenary Sessions: Sometimes sermons/teachings are delivered but people remain with their situational questions unanswered. The inclusion of plenary sessions offers the opportunity for people to ask their situation questions and have them addressed for the benefit of all. Therefore, prepare your situational questions and bring them to Tiyambuke!
9. Safe and Secure Environment: Tiyambuke is hosted in Chitungwiza (ZIMBABWE). The area has no recorded notoriety of serial repute. To further cushion the Tiyambuke attendees, Glory Ministries has put in place reputable security officers, under the church’s Security Department, who have received specialised pieces of training to carry out their mandate. In extreme cases, and where necessary, the Zimbabwe Republic Police will be enlisted to ensure maximum safety and security.

While, in principle, Glory Ministries encourages everyone attending the Tiyambuke Convention to be responsible for safekeeping their belongings, the security officers deployed are also at your disposal to ensure your maximum safety and comfort. Attend Tiyambuke with peace of mind.

The Tiyambuke International Christian Convention (TICC) is an annual gathering of Christian believers from various denominations, organized by Glory Ministries under the leadership of Apostle Pride and Anna Sibiya.
With its inception in 2001, TICC has grown to become one of the largest conferences in Zimbabwe.
The convention's name, "Tiyambuke," meaning "Let Us Cross Over," reflects its mission to lead people out of ignorance, sin, and bondage into a life of knowledge, love for God, health, prosperity, and freedom.
