Standing in the Word Ministries has churches in three, going on four, nations overseas. We have established churches in the nations of Pakistan, Tanzania, and Zambia. These churches are beacons of the message of God’s power and redemption in their communities. In the surrounding area of these churches, there are a lot of false doctrines and false worship, so the planting of these churches preaching the pure truth of the Gospel is strategic and vital.
As of August 2024, we have begun getting Standing in the Word Ministries to be a recognized entity within the nation. We are working with Pastor Useni Isimbi, a Pastor of a SITWM church in Tanzania. By becoming a recognized entity, multiple churches will be able to gain a covering, which will prevent the churches from being shut down by the government. Nineteen churches are patiently waiting for the legalization of the ministry so they may come into fellowship with Standing in the Word Ministries and be recognized by the government.
As of today, we are going through the process of legalizing the name of Standing in the Word Ministries as an organization in the nation of Pakistan. By doing so, churches will be able to be planted in rural villages and not be shut down by the government. In the church planting project in Pakistan, we are also digging water wells in these rural areas. For all of these churches, Pastor Giovannetti has put together a small book of basic doctrine to ensure doctrinal stability. The book has been translated into the native language of Urdu and is actively being distributed to ministries. Stay tuned for the first church plant!
In the nation of Tanzania, we have three churches operating. All three churches are located in the Nyarugusu Refugee Camp near Makere, Tanzania. These churches are overseen by Pastor Useni Isimbi. These churches have been operating as Standing in the Word Ministries since January 2022. Many conferences and events are held by Pastor Useni at his church location inside the refugee camp. Pastor Giovannetti desired to visit during his time in Tanzania in September of 2022, but the officials of the camp shut down visitation before his arrival and it is still shut down today. Regardless of the current circumstance, Pastor Useni’s congregation and the three other SITWM churches are actively growing numerically and spiritually as they advance the kingdom of God throughout the refugee camp!
Since April of 2021, we have been partnering with Pastor Jacob Nasibebo in Livingstone, Zambia. He reached out to us with the desire to become a part of our ministry and plant a church in his village that preaches the uncompromised word of God with demonstration and power. One year later, in April of 2022, we would begin a church-building project with Pastor Jacob. This building would be finished in just over one year to the amazement of everyone around the village. In October of 2023, Pastor Giovannetti and Media Director, Adam Elias, would visit Pastor Jacob and Standing in the Word Ministries in Livingstone, Zambia. Together the three of them conducted a one-day power-packed celebration. The day consisted of a dedication ceremony of the church and an evangelism crusade that saw over 100 people dedicate their lives to Jesus and 23 healings! Today, Pastor Jacob Nasibebo and Standing in the Word Ministries of N’Songwe Village near Livingstone, Zambia, are running hard to see the kingdom of God advanced in the lives of those all around by pushing back the powers of darkness and witchcraft. They are actively conducting evangelism outings, children’s ministry, and praying for the sick.
