GETTING TO KNOW US
We are Patrick and Zamanhlane Phakathi, married since 2010. We have two biological children and two adopted. We are both graduates from the University of Eswatini. We are also graduates from different correspondence theological schools. We both resigned from our permanent government high School teaching employment in response to God’s call to serve as fulltime senior pastors at Life Changing International Church and president for other church linked ministries; Life Changing Bible and Ministry University and Global Christian community development. Patrick is a mentor center volunteer for Christian Leaders Institute enrolling students from different nations and a continuing student.

OUR COMING TO CHRIST AND CALL TO MINISTRY:
We both started walking with God from our youthful stage in High School. We have been serving the Lord in our different churches even before we met and married in 2010. Patrick started and served as a youth and worship Pastor under the mentorship of his local pastor. Zamanhlane served the Lord in worship and in ushering ministries under the mentorship of her local pastor. The Lord revealed the calling into ministry before starting to serve as a youth pastor and upon sharing the call to Tema during our varsity days the Lord just knitted us into the calling. After marriage, we started the church as God instructed and we continued to grow through observational learning from our mentor, teachings from our spiritual parent, listening from ministers around the world as well as enrolling to study in theological schools including Christian Leaders Institute. We are both committed in spiritual growth plan and serving the Lord together. Glory to Jesus Christ! The passion that binds us together in ministry is, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10 TLV)

OUR CALLING TO THIS SOUL CENTER
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the Lord prevails (Proverbs 19: 21). The Lord Jesus Christ spoke to me (Patrick) during my youth and said, “I do not want you to take the responsibility to be a local Pastor in this church (my local church, back then as a young person), but I want you to grow so that you start a church for me in 2010. Until 2010, you have to serve me under the mentoring of the local pastor”. I conveyed this message to my local pastor and by the grace of God she believed it and gave me an opportunity to serve as youth pastor under her mentoring. When I shared this calling to Tema she received it with joy and believed it. We started the Life Changing church in 2010 while we both worked as permanent high School teachers. The Lord instructed to be fulltime into ministry. In 2021, my wife got a transfer to teach in a school close to our home and she stayed alone while I stayed with the kids. She came to me and said the Lord has spoken to her that in the year 2022 she must resign with me and we both venture into the full-time ministry. Glory to Jesus Christ, we are now doing the perfect will of God by serving in this soul center!

OUR MINISTRY:

Patrick enjoys developing training modules more mainly in leadership and ministry. He also enjoys supervising research projects for students and has developed a ministry research program based on the inspiration of Luke 1:1-4. Patrick is into the apostolic and prophetic leadership and full-time church development.
