We searched for this congregation by name with its city and country and found several independent traces. A Facebook page "Prophet Jacob Zacharia" based in Mwanza, with about 634 likes, describes Jacob Opull Zacharia as the founder of Prophetic Voice International Church (PVIC), located in Kwimba district, Mwanza, and that name matches the contact email supplied to us. An Apple Podcasts feed titled "Pr Jacob Zachariah" carries sermons from July 2020 in Swahili and English credited to Prophetic Voice International Church (PVIC), and an acronym directory also lists PVIC as Prophetic Voice International Church (Tanzania). We could not confirm the specific page facebook.com/pviconlinetv, which did not appear in results and which our servers cannot open directly. We found no news reports, denominational register entry, map listing, scam warnings or complaints about this church.
