Engenas Barnabas Lekganyane (c. 1885–1948) was the founder of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC). He first formed the ZCC in 1924, and by the time of his death the church had at least 50,000 members. Under the leadership of his descendants the ZCC has gone on to have more than a million members primarily located in southern Africa. [1]
ZCC members pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Lekganyane is the leader. Redemption is obtained through confession, repentance and prayer. The bishop and ministers of the ZCC preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as laid out in the bible. The ZCC Church members have a strong belief in Prophets and Prophecies.

Its core base at Wallmansthal, north of Pretoria, was too small and crowded to accommodate further growth, and so the membership was scattered. The organization seems to have been overshadowed by Engenas Lekganyane's 1925 offshoot, the Zion Christian Church, which developed into southern Africa's largest and wealthiest religious movement.
