A Calling From Above

Pastor Mantsha Pheeha is a force to be reckoned with and continues to be a leader of note

- Zenoyise John

THE kingdom of God is undergoing a big shift right now. Women are no longer just ushers and Sunday school teachers, but are leading from the front as pastors, evangelists, teachers, prophetesses and apostles. Pastor Mantsha Pheeha, who is the leader of The Church of Jesus Christ, a ministry based in Midrand, Joburg, is one of these women.

MANTSHA’S KINGDOM RISE

The 39-year-old’ pastor’s rise to Christian leadership was unplanned. She was a chemical engineering student and had just gotten bornagain in 1996 when in one of the Christian student fellowship meetings, she was asked to preach as they needed one woman preacher on the roaster.

“I was very scared and unsure of what I was going to say. I had never preached in my life, but the Holy Spirit rose to the occasion,” she shares.
