What we found
We searched for "Ruramai Apostolic Church" together with Kadoma, with Zimbabwe, and alongside Facebook, and found no page, directory entry, map listing or news item for a congregation of that name anywhere in Zimbabwe. The results instead returned unrelated bodies, such as a Redemption Apostolic Church branch listed in Kadoma (raczw.vercel.app) and a Catholic parish in the same town (gcatholic.org), plus general Zimbabwean denomination articles (Wikipedia). The word "Ruramai" is a common Shona given name meaning "be righteous" (Wikipedia), which explains why most hits are people rather than churches; the closest matches were personal and news pages about an unrelated Apostle Ruramai Nhapata of Trinity International Fellowship Ministry (Facebook, The Herald, zimbabwenow.co.zw). The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The name "Ruramai Apostolic Church" in Kadoma matches the common pattern of small apostolic congregations in Zimbabwe, and a free Gmail address is entirely normal for such a group, so nothing here looks dishonest. However, an independent web search found no page, directory listing or map entry for a church of this name anywhere in Zimbabwe, and no website or social page was supplied for us to check.

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.
