Phumlani Nkwanyana Founder and Director
Don’t
climb your mountain but move it!
Introduction.
We
are living on this planet earth bursting of various challenges and trials,
which leaves every individual with a question which must be answered. Everyone
on earth in spite of their background they have one question in their life in
which they seek the answer and they don’t know who will give them correct
answers to their questions. As a result Mountain Movers was envisaged to convey
resolutions to many individuals around the globe. It came into existence to make
available relevant answers at the relevant time for relevant people
This
is the initiative categorised into different sectors respectively, to achieve
and impact people’s lives in different ways. With this initiative we aim to
create the sense of hope and bring bravery to individuals who have considered
themselves as inferiors of the general public. This initiative further aspires
to positively impact and influence lives of people with Christ’s principles, that
were not afforded the opportunity of being loved and taken care of by people
that were supposed to give them what they needed most. For it a fact, that in
the world that we live in, there are all sort of individuals who have been
through different situations. In other cases some were rejected and were never
given a second chance in life to prove their capabilities and demonstrate signs
of remorse to what they were rejected for. It often happens that people are
judged by their current situations and at times we turn to forget to look
beyond the current situation.
This
initiative also aims to provide the spiritual platform of elevating the
hopeless to becoming hopefuls. Inspiring young giants of faith to becoming the
victors of this generation is what mostly characterizes our aim of
existence. Out shinning the gold and
treasures that were hidden in the darkest parts of churches is also the most
crucial subject that we wish to pay much of our undivided attention on.
Moreover, Mountain Movers is the organization for
young people who have the great zeal for the things of the Lord. Who wish in
life to go an extra mile and explore what many have not yet explored, and also
to discover greatest treasure hidden in Christ. It’s based on building the
rigid foundation for young born again Christians with goals they wish to fulfill
one day. However it does not solely focus on young people, it’s also caters for
adults who wish to be elevated in spirit and expand their knowledge about the
things of the kingdom. Mountain Movers intends to develop the triple being of
an individual by, growing the person spiritually, equipping them socially and
also empowering them with resources economically, so that they can be fit
enough to face any circumstance they may come across in life.
It has been witnessed that due to the lack of
knowledge many young people especially the born again Christians, happen to
make uninformed decisions which at some point lead to backsliding and going
back to the world. This is mostly influenced by insufficient teaching in
churches or in social context. Many turn to think that they know everything
only to find that they know things in the wrong perspective and for the wrong
motives which creates bad image of young born again Christians. This
organisation has been brought into existence to eradicate such issues.
Mountain Movers is not the organisation for the
certain denomination nor promotes certain denomination’ ideology. It was
brought to life to unite all young people from different denominations but serving
one Trion God. It seeks to unite and build one body of Christ which will impact
nations and invite billions to the Kingdom of the living God. No church
doctrines will be taught but only Bible principles will pave the ways in every decision
and plans made.
The origin of
the name.
The name mountain movers was inspired and motivated
by what Jesus said in the bible for everything that mountain movers will do
will be from the bible as our foundation is based on the word of God. One day
Jesus once said if you have faith as small as the mustard seed you will say to
this mountain move and be casted unto the sea, it shall be so only if you have
faith. Mark 11vs23
That where the name originates from and the organisation
aims to carry out that mandate of commanding mountains to move. It is the
undenied fact that we all live with certain mountains in our lives. It can be
in our families, in our academic life, in our health, financially, spiritually and
even in our love affairs. In one place of our life we happen to be faced with
the situation which give us a bad pain which we cannot even bare. We cannot
hide that we are all faced with trials in life that want to drop us down and
crash our goals and dreams. Mountain Movers says you must develop the ability
and faith to speak to the situation that is pressing you down. It inspires people
to command mountains in life to be moved and be casted into the sea. Many
instead of commanding situations prefer to climb them, our motto says don’t
climb your mountain but move it. Jesus said we must move them not climb them.
In this age most of the people decide to be desponded to challenges that they
are facing. Despondency cannot be the strategic way that can turn out the trial
that has decided to present its self in your way. When one is despondent to the
challenge it bloats and becomes more serious about you if you give a blind eye
on it. We teach that people must develop the small spark of faith which can
sprinkle the life we need to live every day.
Our
Vision
Our Vision is to impact all young people from all
races and age with the living word of hope and to be the most vibrant
organisation. It is our greatest intention to first start at our proximate

platforms. One the platforms to be used are the social networks. Facebook will serve
as the major pool for web recruitment. Our recruitment will seek young
evangelists around Durban and around the entire province of KwaZulu-Natal. One
of the strategies for the recruitment is attending major Christian events and
spread the word of this new wing for the kingdom. Visiting different Churches
will also be one of the tools to make the organisation known and recruit new
members who wish to put a hand in moving mountains that block Christians’
movement to greater level. Word of mouth
recruitment will also play a very pivotal role in recruiting agents of Change.
God will draw people of his heart to be part of this great movement that will
change cities for the greater course of the kingdom. It is our prayer at
Mountain Movers that we have members in every city of this province and at the
later stage to have a member in each province which will later results in
establishing a branch in every country across Africa from Cape to Cairo. Through
the assistance of the Holy Spirit all this will be achieved according to his
plan and purpose.

make this a success and in every event of handing over of all these items a
small service will be scheduled and the word of hope and power that delivers
man from oppression of sin and gives liberty from bondage of darkness will be
preached
Categorised
Seminars
Mountain
Movers shall stage diverse seminars in different days which will serve
different intentions that will be of help in construction the body of Christ
and young people of today. It has been witnessed that most young people of this
generation are not much engrossed in being taught and yet they have a reduced
amount of knowledge of the things of the Lord, instead they want to ascertain things
in the erroneous way. These seminars will serve to edify, enlighten and
influence young individuals with pertinent and factual information that will
keep them throughout their journey of existence.
6.
Worshippers Seminar
We are all aware that God created man to serve one
mandate which is to give praise and worship unto the Lord day and night. The
whole reason behind the creation of human race was to actually take over the
potion which was previously occupied by the highest ark angel of praise Lucifer
in Heave. As he was cast on earth for his self exaltation, God decided to
substitute him with human beings.
The worship seminar will be aimed at teaching and
empowering Christians to have the different perspective of worship, and not
regard it as an item done by certain individuals in churches. With these
seminars great worshipers will be sharing their special encounters with the
Lord through worship. This is where people will receive their restoration
without the laying of hand, but by worshiping only the living God. When we
whole heartedly worship God, he is moved in heaven and is forced to manifest
his power amongst those who whole heartedly worship him. The bible says God is
now looking for true worshipers who will worship him in truth and in spirit;
it is that time that we worship God with all our minds and knowledge.
In these seminars different topics on worship will
be touched upon, and will be characterized with much anticipated move of God
through worship. Attendees will be
taught about worship and also get a rare and profound moment of experimenting
flowing in the presence of God by worship not by moving of emotions. It where
people will be restored revived and elevated to next dimension through worship.
Some will be healed and discover their true identity in Christ after swimming
and becoming drunk of the Holy Ghost.
7.
Youth in prisons
As the Mountain Movers we understand that there are
also other young people who are locked behind bars in many prisons of our
country. They also have big dreams that one day they wish to see them coming
into reality. Some of them are locked for wrong accusations and some have noted
with regret the decision they took with wrong people in life. We are not
supposed to criticize and judge many of young people who are in prison cells
before understating their stories.
As Mountain Movers it will be our duty to at some
times visit different prisons and give word of encouragement to some of the
inmate especially young people who still have potential to change the world. We
understand that the society with changed minds can bring about any change that
is desired in the world. We will host motivational talks with the imprisoned
young people and give them a chance to tell their stories without judging them.
All of this will give them opportunity to heal from
the wounds of hatred and all the pain they have been through. At times we will
spend time with them playing games, just to encourage and motivate them,
ensuring them that they still become anything they wish to become in the world
despite the challenges that they have been through. We will give them gifts and
ensure them that with Jesus any Mountain in front of them can be still moved.
It is true that many of the inmates are faced huge Mountains worse part they
don’t get people to share their pains and sorrow that they are suffering from.
We will therefore bring Christ as the source of solution to any problem that
any man can face.
In different prisons we will establish branches for
Mountain Movers to keep newly converts rooted in Christ and always motivated.
This will also assist in spreading and enlarging the territory for the
movement, as some they will go out after completing their sentences and
continue to be the ambassadors of Mountain Movers in their own places. We will
also keep in touch with young people even after they complete their sentence
and assist them in finding employment and also in furthering studies to
different institutions of higher learning.
Those dealing with different addictions like drugs
and alcohol will also be given guidance of how they can escape and be taught
Godly principles so that they can live righteously in their communities.
8.
Global Intercession Network
Mountain Movers is called to raise and
equip prayer warriors that will stand in the gap for the body of Christ. The
bible records that God needs watch men that will not sleep nor slumber but
those who will keep watch of the city and stand in the gap. I looked for someone among them who would
build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I
would not have to destroy it, but I found no one, Ezekiel 22vs30
As Mountain
Movers, we aim to empowering young people with effective ways of communicating
with God. It has been witnessed that many serve God but they don’t know the
proper channels of addressing God. Many prayers are not answered because people
are not properly trained to pray. Disciples of Jesus one day in Matthew 6:9, asked
Jesus to teach them to pray because prayer is one of the elements that you must
be trained to have. This wing will issue prayer sheets and daily confessions
that will assist in daily devotions as every morning the network will be
connected to pray.
The Global Intercession Network (GIN), will serve to
mobilise other prayer warriors to form one chain everyday for prayer. The GIN
will include Christians from different denominations as well, and will be
focusing solely on praying for our country Provinces, towns, schools,
government departments as the word records that we are to pray for those in
power. If my people, who are called by my
name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then
I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land, 2
Chronicles 7vs 14. God is looking for people who will pray for our land. All
afflictions that attack our country will be defeated, if we can have men who
can faithfully stand in the gap.
We will plan fasting days where the network will be
praying for certain items. In the beginning of each year GIN will also meet, to
pray for the challenges that Christians will face ahead of the year to start.
This will include final day celebration after breaking the one month fasting
which will be taken rotational to members. We will also make sure that we pray for
leaders of our country as the word commands us to pray for them. I urge, then, first of all, that petitions,
prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and
all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all
godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases our saviour. 1 Timothy 2 vs. 1
- 3.
In the first week certain Group will engage in
fasting and pray about different items in the following week, the other group
will also join, up until the month is wrapped up, and one big celebration
service will be planned. The GIN will also pray in hospitals and have radio
show slots where people will be educated about the importance of prayer. In
many churches it seems as if intercession is for the old ladies that cannot
sing well, however that is not the case. The
bible mentions that Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for
this is God’s will for you in Christ 1 Thessalonians 5 vs. 17 – 18. We are
all to pray because when the enemy attacks, he does not consider if you are the
old lady of not. Jesus also made mention that we are all ought to pray
unceasingly. We are always in the battle
with the enemy though we cannot see the battle with our enemy. That battle can
only be won by praying earnestly with our spirit. God says in Zachariah 4 vs. 6, not by mighty nor by
power, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty. The GIN will also record CDs for prayer and
warfare which will assist other people who are still struggling in prayer.
9.
My Soul Mate
It has been reported that Christians
make most statistics of divorce in the entirely world. This is amongst other
things made by the fact that young people commit themselves to marriage before
they are ready enough to commit themselves. The
man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be
called woman for she was taken out of a man. That is why man leaves his father
and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh Genesis 2 vs.
23 – 24. Marriage is from the bible and we are to do it if God has planned
one for us, but we are to get into marriage using proper channels and know when
the right time for marriage. Most young people are not properly informed of how
to deal with adversities in marriage, as a result when challenges come; they
turn to see divorce as the best solution to escape the nightmare of their
marriage. Many of them wants to get married while those already married want to
go out because things are not turning out the way they anticipated before they
committed themselves.
Some of the topics to be covered in
these seminars includes young person at the pre-marriage stage. Topics like
avoiding divorce after marriage these are all hot topics we intend to cover.
Most these topics will be addressed by older people that have had experiences
in these things. They will be warning and advising young people of good routes
to be followed to yield positive results in world of motherland and fatherland.
My Soul Mate is therefore a helping aid that will assist in offering guidance
to young people before they even decide to get married. It will be a one day
service where best ways will be shared if one thinks is ready to commit himself
to this huge commitment. In these services Couple will be invited to give
guidance and best advice to prepare for marriage. In this case both males and
females will be present and discuss all the issues that affect most of the
young people.
10. Mountain movers
night of FIRE
The Mountain Movers intends to host after every
three months a fire influenced and holly ghost filled whole night prayers to
inspire and encourage young people to press on with their destiny. These cross
nights will also serve as the platform for young people to exercise their gifts
and also be exposed to the wide range of audience. This will provide a rare and
profound opportunity for young born again Christians to experience swimming in
the tangible presence of God. This will also be the pool of healing and
deliverance for many young people as all the fivefold ministry will be allowed
to function accordingly. The bible says,
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the evangelists, the pastors, and teachers
to equip his people for work of service so that the body of Christ can be built
up Ephesians 4 vs. 11 – 12
Our Cross night will start at 20H00 and end
the next day 06h00. Young people with mountains to be moved from different
churches will jointly worship and share the glorious moments in his presence.
11. Mountain movers
bringing back of the ark
Mountain Mover’s bringing back of the Ark is the one
day service of restoration, it will be held twice every year, to rebuild the
walls that the enemy stole from the church. Its aim is to reclaim all what has
been lost to the church. These service aims to instil what the Generals of the
gospel walked with in order to successfully achieve what God called them for.
It will teach what the Late N.J Sithole, Nicholas Bhengu, Chiliza and other
giants of faith taught the church.
We cannot deny that when we walk with God at times
we miss other things and turn to our ways, this service will assist in
providing guidelines on how to correctly conduct yourself as the young Mountain
Mover.
Conclusion
We believe that God will make this work come to pass
as he brought the vision to my life. With God all things are possible and God’s
ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. This movement will impact billions of people directly
and indirectly. It will bring hope to the hopeless and help people move
mountains that they face every day.
Don’t Mount it, but Move it, Mark 11vs 23.
