Hello, my name is Bishop G. Ford. Many of you have followed me from my earliest days when I was known as Prophet Givens Chizenga. While the name has changed by divine instruction, the assignment remains eternal: unveiling the limitless power of Christ Jesus and illuminating the narrow path of righteousness for a generation desperate for truth.
I have watched the Word of God do what no man could do. And I am convinced beyond doubt: the Word works. It worked then. It works now. And it will work for you.
My spiritual awakening came early — a divine summons to work the Kingdom. This was not a career choice; it was a fire shut up in my bones. A prophetic mantle was draped over my life before I understood what a mantle even meant. That fire ignited an unquenchable passion to preach a Gospel that transforms the very marrow of the soul.
I learned early that the Word of God is not a collection of ancient fables. It is the living, breathing hammer that breaks the rock in pieces.
February 2018 — Gathering Of Believers International Ministry (South
Africa)
With nothing but a word from the Lord and a handful of hungry souls, the
ministry was born in Cape Town. The foundation was humble but the vision was colossal:
soul-winning, preaching to nations, and restoring hope. Through worship, conferences, and
outreach, we equipped believers to walk in victory. The testimony "Cheer up Believer. The Word
Works!" became a battle cry.
2023 — The Return & Gathering Of Believers International (Zimbabwe)
After
seven years of spiritual formation in Cape Town, the Lord released us to return home. We did not
return empty. We carried a mantle tested by fire and a blueprint forged in the trenches.
Gathering Of Believers International (Zimbabwe) was born. The prodigal mantle had come home.
2026 — The Year of the Establishment
In a moment of deep consecration, my
spiritual father gave a clear instruction: "You have been a prophet to the people, but now you
shall be a Bishop" Prophet Givens Chizenga became Bishop Givens
Ford. Not a rebrand. A spiritual re-genesis. The ministry also received a new name: Cornerstone
Church. As the cornerstone sets the foundation, this season establishes a generation on the
unshakeable rock of Christ Jesus.
Through my ministerial journey, I had several failures not listed above. I simply learned from those and kept moving forward.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know I have an inspiring story, but I want to inspire you in the right way.
Everything I say is from my personal experience with the Holy Spirit. None of the things I share on this platform will make you "spiritual overnight" — far from it.
Walking in the prophetic takes a lot of time, surrender, patience, and a relentless trust in God.
My goal is to share my experiences, lessons I learned, prophetic insights, and resources to help you build a victorious Christian life.
I hope that you encountered the heart of the Father in the story of this ministry.
Once again, thanks a lot for taking the time to read this. I look forward to connecting with you.
Standing at the Cornerstone,
Bishop Givens Ford
