Harvest House International Church, otherwise known as HHI Church, is a charismatic church founded in 1995 by Bishop Dr Colin Nyathi and Senior Reverend Dr Sarah Nyathi. From the first service of fewer than ten people in their living room in the city of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe in 1995, this church has grown to more than 6,000 in attendance on a single Sunday service. Due to the limitation of space, the current building cannot take the total number of people, requiring a total of ten services to be carried out on a Sunday.

Senior pastors

Colin and Sarah Nyathi are parents of five adult children. Colin was previously a financial director of a large engineering house in Bulawayo before becoming a full-time pastor. Sarah, an entrepreneur, was Miss Lux Zimbabwe and has been involved in much training of young entrepreneurs in her nation. Colin works in the apostolic office and is a church planter. They host a television programme called Open Heavens which shows in Southern Africa. Sarah runs "Maximised Lifestyle International", an arm of HHI Church that helps ladies within the church to be self-sufficient and grow spiritually and in real life. This couple offers spiritual oversight to all their pastors and elders as well as a number of people from other churches.

Currently, their services are held in ten different venues across the city centre with the new headquarters now situated at Corner 10th Avenue & George Silundika. Harvest House International Church is currently building a 10,500-seat auditorium in Woodlands Bulawayo.
