Yahweh Shammah Assembly, abbreviated as YSA, was founded in 1989 in DemocraticRepublic pf Congo and it was officially registered as a non-profit organization in 1994 under Section 21 of the Companies Act of the Republic of South Africa, YSA is a Pentecostal Church. Its primary aim is to conduct a local church under the direction of the Lord Jesus Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit, adhering to the commandments and provisions of the Holy Bible.
The church claims an overall membership of about 1,500 nominal members distributed among its six branches. The branches are located in Krugersdorp, Sandton, Pretoria, Tzaneen, Lesotho, and the United Kingdom. These branches operate independently but maintain coordination with the headquarters for support and counseling. Pastor Peter Muteba B. Kusanka from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the founder and the current senior pastor.
The Church’s Mission:
YSA’s mission is to fulfill the biblical Great Commission as commanded by Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:16-20:
“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said,‘ All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.“
Headquarters Location:
- Address: 6 Currey Street, Doornfontein, Johannesburg.
- The church occupies the entire building.
The Church’s vision:
The vision of the church draws on the biblical Great Commission as quoted above. In the church’s leaflet the vision 22 reads thus:
“First of all, we, as the Church of Christ, our primary vision is lined with Matthew 28:19‘Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…’. Indeed, our vision is in the book of 1 Samuel 2:4‘The bows of strong soldiers are broken, but the weak are girded with strength their belt.”
We believe that this particular passage gives us the strength and courage not to step down nor grow weary in fulfilling the Great Commission.
The Church’s vision articulates upon three main axles: Evangelization, extensions and praise and worship. One of the strategies to carry out the vision of the church is to maintain spiritual growth and the increase in the number souls won for. The church’s creed affirms that ‘members of Yahweh Shammah Assembly are convinced themselves of the importance of giving to the Church’ and that ‘this mechanism will facilitate the future Church development and enlargement’.
