A brand new way
About Us
Welcome to Emthonjeni Church of All Nations International in Zion (ECOAN) —
a sacred fountain of restoration, healing, and sacred wisdom rooted in the eternal rhythms of African spirituality.
At ECOAN, we believe that the living and the ancestral, the earthly and the divine, walk hand in hand. Founded under the divine guidance of Prophet Shepard Shongwe kaMotha, and devoted to the sacred presence of the goddess Nomkhubulwana, our church stands as a vibrant spiritual home for seekers of balance, transformation, and sacred diversity.
ECOAN is more than a church — it is a Movement.
It is a living wellspring where the ancestral rivers of wisdom meet the modern soul’s thirst for authenticity, inclusion, and liberation.
Our ministry honours the sacred interconnectedness of all beings, the healing power of African mysticism, and the sacred right of every individual to be seen, celebrated, and restored.
Rooted in the heart of Johannesburg, South Africa, yet reaching across nations, ECOAN champions the divine expression of all identities, embraces sacred gender diversity, and nurtures the deep codependency between the living and their ancestors.
Our Mission:
To restore, heal, and empower through African spirituality grounded in love, justice, and divine truth.
To be a lighthouse for sacred knowledge, prophetic revelation, and spiritual awakening.
To honour the ancient covenants of balance, fertility, transformation, and sacred diversity, under the watchful guardianship of Nomkhubulwana.
Our Vision:
A spiritually awakened humanity, rooted in indigenous wisdom, walking in wholeness and sacred unity.
Our Sacred Tenets:
Honouring the Ancestors
Revering the Sacred Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether)
Upholding Sacred Diversity and Inclusion
Healing through Mysticism, Prayer, and Prophetic Action
Stewardship of Spiritual, Physical, and Communal Restoration
At ECOAN, every soul matters. Every journey is sacred. Every prayer is a footprint toward a transformed future.
Come, draw from the Well.
Come, drink from the sacred streams.
Come, step into the Divine Awakening.
ECOAN — Where the Ancestors Speak, the Spirit Breathes, and the Nations Heal.
