Bishop joe imakando biography of alberta
Before he became pastor, Joe Imakando was a well known Tamanga with a difference. He was a fervent Christian. He dealt in Emeralds and foreign currency in Kitwe and was known as scrupulously honest and always spent time preaching to his fellow dealers. He later went into maize marketing and real estate. By the time he moved to Lusaka he was already well on the way to being a wealthy man.
In Lusaka he started his Bread of Life Ministries. He was still doing business and selling makwebo but was ploughing quite a lot of money into his church.
DMK Nations had the honour of ministering at the Apostolic Missions' Dinner Gala hosted by Bread of Life Church International - Perth Branch.
He is still in business and unlike most pastors does not need to lie that they should tithe their money to God when they actually mean tithe to them. Joe Imakando has offices in the centre of town just off Cairo Road where he runs his business from. He keeps his business separate from his Bread of Life ministry. From his own sweat and his own money, he has built up a large church.
He does not need to lie that God needs money then pocket it. He makes out pretty well from his other business interests. He could quit the Ministry today and make much more money in business full time. So there you have it.
