Zionist churches

For Christians who believe that the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 was a fulfilment of Biblical prophecy, see Christian Zionism.

Zionist churches are a group of Pentecostal Christian denominations that derive from the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church, which was founded by John Alexander Dowie in Zion, Illinois, US, at the end of the 19th century. Missionaries from the church came to South Africa in 1904. Among their first recruits were Pieter Louis Le Roux and Daniel Nkonyane of Wakkerstroom; both continued to evangelize after the Zionist missionaries left in 1908.
