The amount was approved by participants to the United Methodist Church General Conference that took place in Texas, United States, under the theme "Future with Hope".

According to the bishop, this amount will cover every programme of the church worldwide, in the next four years, with USD 12 Million being allocated to the "Africa University" in Zimbabwe, from which USD 2 million will be in vested in theology courses.
