What we found
We searched for the church under its full name together with Bulawayo and Zimbabwe, and found no listing, website, social media page, news mention or denominational register entry for a congregation by this name in Bulawayo. The closest match is a Facebook page for "City of Life Church - New Life In Jesus Ministries" based in Brits, North West province in South Africa, with about 1,193 likes, describing itself as "City of Life church-International", which suggests a related ministry across the border rather than proof of a Bulawayo branch. Other Bulawayo churches with similar-sounding names, such as Harvest House International, are clearly separate bodies. We found no scam reports, fraud warnings or complaints attached to this name, and nothing indicating a personal brand or a page made only for show. Small Bulawayo congregations often have no web presence, so this silence is inconclusive rather than disproving.
Our conclusion: Our independent search found an active Facebook page for "City of Life Church - New Life In Jesus Ministries" based in Brits, South Africa, which describes itself as "City of Life church-International" and matches the submitted name closely, suggesting this signup belongs to the same ministry family across the border. However, we could not find any listing, page or mention confirming a congregation of this name meeting in Bulawayo, and no website
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
