He and [wife] Prudence both have the heart of Jesus for others, and we believe that God will use them in a beautiful way in this new ministry assignment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his ministry on the Eswatini Central District, Kunene was a pastor and educator in the United Kingdom on the British Isles South District.<\/p>\n<p>Kunene obtained his PhD in Biblical studies from Nazarene Theological College-Manchester in 2010.
