Bp. Elibariki Sumbe
Born into a Muslim family in Singida, Tanzania, on October 1st, 1968, Elibariki Sumbe‘s early life was marked by hardship. Poverty cast a long shadow, culminating in the tragic death of his father. The young Elibariki, burdened with grief and responsibility, had to carry his father‘s body for over 60 kilometers from the hospital back to their village. This experience etched a deep sense of loss and longing in his heart.
Years passed, and Elibariki found himself seeking solace in the fleeting distractions of a local pub. But it was in this unlikely setting that his life took a dramatic turn. As he sat amidst the noise and smoke, Jesus Christ appeared to him in the form of fire. This encounter was a moment of profound transformation, igniting a spark of faith within him that would forever alter his course.
Elibariki embraced Christianity with fervor, dedicating himself to learning about Christ and sharing his newfound faith with others. His sermons resonated with people, and soon, miracles and wonders began to accompany his ministry. His reputation as a powerful preacher and a man of God spread far and wide.
Driven by a vision to build a community of believers, Elibariki founded the Vuka Yordani Church in Ngaramtoni Arusha but later expanded and had to be relocated to Kisongo Waya, Arusha. The church‘s name, meaning “Cross the Jordan,“ served as a potent symbol of the transformative journey of faith. This was just the beginning.

A Humble Beginning: To a Global Ministry
Bishop Elibariki Sumbe was born on October 1st, 1968, in the rural areas of Singida, Tanzania. Born and raised in an impoverished Muslim family, he faced immense hardship, including the loss of his father at a young age. Due to their poverty, he was forced to carry his father‘s body on foot for over 60 kilometers.
However, his life took a dramatic turn when he had a divine encounter with Jesus Christ while at a local pub drinking. This experience led to his calling to follow Christ, and Bishop Sumbe has since dedicated his life to spreading the gospel around the world.
