Originally from Zambia in South Central Africa, Pastor Friday and his wife Diana migrated to New Zealand in 2001 after having faithfully served for many years on the Pastoral staff of Bread of Life Ministries International, in Lusaka Zambia.

Pastor Friday Fumbilwa’s passion in ministry is to see people rise to their full potential and become all that God wants them to be regardless of their background, race or status in society.

Pastors Friday & Diana were the Senior Pastors of International Revival Church in Auckland, New Zealand from 2003 until 2008, when they voluntarily stepped down from the Pastorate and moved on in God’s direction and founded the multicultural El-Shaddai Worship Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. A year later in 2009, they planted another fast growing branch in Hamilton, New Zealand.

Teaching and Preaching the uncompromising WORD of God, totally depending on the sovereign move of the HOLY SPIRIT and the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit is Pastor Friday’s passion.

Coming from a Musical background and having studied in the Academy of Praise and Worship in South Africa, vibrant Praise and passionate Worship are inseparable with Pastor Friday.

He holds diplomas in Urban Missions, Christian Leadership, and a Bachelor of Ministry Degree from New Covenant University. He strongly believes that God does not necessarily call the qualified but qualifies those He calls! Anybody is a potential vessel for God’s use with or without a single qualification.

Pastor Diana is a gifted Counsellor with a Passion to see the bound set free by the power of God. She is an anointed singer and Worship Leader. She holds a Bachelor of Business Degree majoring in Accountancy.

Pastors Friday and Diana have three lovely children Abigail, Nathaniel and Joel.
