Biography and the Founding of JCWC
Bishop Robert Kasaro founded Jesus Calls Worship Centre in 1996 in Matsapha, Eswatini. The church began meeting in a classroom at a local school near the University of Eswatini. The school was affectionately known as “Empra” by the founding members and later by the wider congregation. From the outset, the gatherings centered on prayer, Scripture, and fellowship, forming a church community grounded in care and belonging.
Over time, JCWC developed into an established church with a growing congregation. Today, Jesus Calls Worship Centre International includes the main church in Matsapha and fifteen branch churches across Southern Africa, with a shared burden to extend the ministry across the African continent. The combined membership of JCWC, including its branches, is approximately 5,000 people. JCWC remains the pastoral home and congregational base from which Bishop Kasaro continues to serve.
The vision of the church has consistently been to serve the dejected, the ostracized, the outcasts, the hurt, the lost, and the forgotten. This vision is reflected in the church’s guiding phrase, “a place you can call home.” The ministry emphasizes healing and restoration, helping people regain dignity, stability, and purpose, and encouraging them to take their place in society while remaining grounded in the Word of God.
Calling and Ministry Focus
Bishop Kasaro understands ministry as a calling centered on responsibility to people and faithfulness to Scripture. His work has focused on restoring individuals and families, strengthening faith, and equipping believers to live purposeful lives. As the ministry developed, his calling found expression beyond the local church through teaching, leadership development, and engagement with the wider Christian community.
To support this focus, Bishop Kasaro established a Bible institute with a vision to train leaders of influence within the church and across the African continent. The institute reflects the ministry’s commitment to long-term impact through sound teaching, mentorship, and spiritual formation.
Leadership and National Faith Service
In addition to his role at JCWC, Bishop Robert Kasaro serves in national Christian leadership. He is the current President of the Eswatini Conference of Churches (ECC), the evangelical body that covers Pentecostal, Evangelical, and Charismatic churches in Eswatini. His involvement with the ECC reflects a commitment to unity within the Body of Christ and to the defense of Christian principles.
Bishop Kasaro joined the ECC as Secretary General in 2004, served as Vice President from 2016 to 2020, and assumed the position of President in March 2021 in accordance with the ECC Constitution. His leadership experience has contributed to advancing the ECC’s vision, mission, and core values, particularly its focus on unity and the safeguarding of Christian doctrine.

He serves as a board member of Dr. Yonggi Cho’s Church Growth International Ministry Board of Directors in South Korea.
