The Apostolic Christian Church (Nazarene) ("Nazarene" can be alternatively spelled as "Nazarean")is a Christian denomination of the Anabaptist movement.

The United African Apostolic Church is a South African church.
 Its headquarters is situated in Ha-Mavhunga, a village in the Nzhelele Valley in the province of Limpopo.
 It is a Pentecostal church that has developed from Pentecostal missionary origins with African beliefs to a synchretic African initiated church.
 With 1.5 million members it is considered to be the second largest of such churches in South Africa.
 The church was founded by Bishop Matsea Paulos Mureri in 1912.
 The late Bishop Matsea Paulos Mureri had traveled to South Africa as part of a Pentecostal mission called the Apostolic Faith Mission.
 Some of the other missionaries returned to their home countries, but Bishop Matsea Paulos Mureri remained and formed a church called DZANDA LA MUDZIMU.

 The slogan of the church is "Sea of the World". Samuel Heinrich Fröhlich
Samuel Heinrich Froehlich (1803–1857) was an evangelist responsible for organizing the Evangelical Baptist Church in Western Europe, which eventually spread to become known as the Nazarenes of Eastern Europe and the Apostolic Christian Church in the United States of America, Mexico,Argentina & Canada.
 Froehlich, a young seminary student in Switzerland, experienced a dramatic conversion, causing him to come into conflict with the state-church.
 He was excommunicated in the aftermath of his refusal to submit to an order that required the Heidelberg Catechism to be replaced by a new rationalistic catechism.
 He had sympathies with the Mennonite faith, but soon became convinced they were in a lukewarm state.
 Some of the Reformed and Mennonite persuasions followed Froehlich and were soon known as "Neu-Taufer".
 They later adopted the official name of Evangelical Baptist Church. Nigerian gospel
Gospel music is a kind of African, motivational Christian music that has become a major part of Nigerian music.
 In the 1960s the Evangelical Church of West Africa Choir was popular, and in the early 1970s Bola Aare, Sola Rotimi, Good women Choir, Ebenezer Obey and later, Panam Percy Paul, Onyeka Onwenu, Lanre Teriba (ATORISE), Tope Alabi, Asu Ekiye, Keffi, and Sammie Okposo were notable.
 Also, in the early 1970s & 80s Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa's choir, The Christian Redeemed Voices were known for their gospel sound.
 He the late Bishop, would purchase instruments for the choir and each one of them would be mastered by skillful musicians.
 The Bishop would challenge his student pastors and young adult church members to pick up instruments and play them.
 Play them...they did, no training only the gift of God deposited and called out by the Bishop.
 There was a lady by the name of Minister Dorothy James (Evangel Temple, USA) and Rev. David Mporampora(Uganda)they transformed gospel music in West Africa.
 Nigeria in particular.
 I would say without a doubt, they laid the foundation of the sound we now hear.
 Many students were from other West African nations and they took that sound and passion for Gospel music back with them.
 Jackson Tugbeh (Liberia), now (Lagos) Rev. Lesley Tex (Ghana) were students and a part of the influence.
 The Arts, the worship dance saw its start in Africa in the Church of God Mission.
 Thanks to Arch Bishop Idahosa who was open to all God had for his people, the gospel sound would never be the same.
 The fusion in music and the gospel he brought to Africa is still amazing. Benson Idahosa University
