Tatenda Ashley Tsiko is a child of God who is doing mighty works in the body of Christ. He is down-to-earth even though he is commanding great results in the vineyard and penetrating all sectors of the marketplace. Being a Bible school lecturer and school coordinator are bonus talents among many God-given ones that he possesses.
He is an epitome of excellence. This gem is a force to be reckoned with, as he is a combination of immeasurable grace and a fountain of wisdom. An ordained pastor, effective leader, spiritual son of Apostle T and Pastor C Vutabwashe, energetic preacher, radical evangelist, philanthropist, and climatologist by profession, he is a phenomenal Zimbabwean man of God based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He is also a husband to a beautiful wife, Comfort Tsiko.
He told The Model Guide magazine that he did not plan to become a pastor. The calling was too loud to the extent that he had to answer God’s call at a young age. He began preaching the undiluted word of God when he was 13 years old in his hometown, Kadoma. He was able to balance his time between academics and ministerial work. He is a studious Pastor who reached university level. While at Bindura University, he was well-known for his provocative and mind-blowing sermons. He was elected as a youth leader of the United Methodist Church campus. After graduating from Bindura University, he furthered his studies by attending Bible school to sharpen his knowledge and skills. Now, he is a full-time pastor serving at Heartfelt International Ministry.
Moreover, he is highly active in many programs, such as soul-winning, charity work, providing Christian counseling, praying for people, and offering spiritual guidance for free. In simple words, he is a community builder who is restoring love, peace, faith, morals, and values in local South African communities.
In an interview with the Model Guide magazine, he said, “It is not always about me. I did not call myself; God called me to do His work, and I love His people no matter who they are. I was anointed to serve them. This is what gives me power each and every day to serve His people without getting tired. Simply because it is not always about me, everything on this earth, including His glory, belongs to Him.”
Pastor Tsiko is a dynamic individual who can juggle many things at the same time. He always delivers high-quality work in his career and ministry. Moreover, he is a professional Pastor who works with integrity and he is very easy to work with. “Do not get caught up in the fast life. Slow down! If you rush, you crash and spoil everything. I learn so much from young, gifted people, and I believe that they have vast new ideas that can change the world for the better. I feel fortunate to be old enough to have some wisdom but also young enough to have the ability to adapt and learn,” he explained clearly.
Outside of ministerial work
“I enjoy traveling and visiting places I have never been. It allows me to meet new people and learn about new cultures, norms, and values. Furthermore, what interests me most is observing how they do business, their marketing strategies, their customer care, and their level of courtesy to customers.
I spend a lot of time with my partner. I am a very family-oriented person, and she makes up a huge part of my life. We do everything together, including serving the Lord, organizing church events or conferences, and running our own business.”
