Leah Chikumbindi, Founder & Executive Director, Set Apart Global Ministries
Leah, a Business Administrator by profession is the visionary founder of Set Apart Global Ministries and a founding member of Garland Women For Good. Originally from Zimbabwe, she immigrated to the United States in the mid-1990s. Leah accepted Christ at age 17. However, it was in 2004, during the Women of Faith Conference in Dallas Texas at the American Airlines Center that she experienced a life-changing encounter with God’s love. This powerful moment marked a turning point, as she felt the Lord heal years of pain and a deep calling for her to share that freedom with young girls.
In 2007, Leah began hosting small gatherings in her home called The Princess in Me, creating a safe and nurturing space for neighborhood girls to hear the gospel and embrace their identity as daughters of the King. By 2011, her ministry had expanded to mentoring teenage and college-age girls, focusing on Patience, Purity & Purpose. Through transparent storytelling and biblical discipleship, Leah inspired others by showing how God had turned her trials into testimony.
Recognizing a broader calling, Leah officially launched Girls Set Apart Ministries in 2014. This Bible-based, nonprofit organization serves girls from elementary through high school, mentoring them in faith and leadership. In 2019, the ministry expanded to include young boys through the launch of Boys of Valor, prompting a name change to
Set Apart Global Ministries.
Throughout the years Leah has served in children and youth ministries for over 27 years collectively. She has worked as an Associate Director for Children & Families Ministry for a church in the Dallas Metroplex area. "Ministering to a child is ministering to the whole family" she says.
Leah currently lives in Princeton, Texas, with her husband. Almost an empty nester, mother of three and a grandmother to her precious grand daughter Whom she spends most of her time with.. Her husband owns and operates an auto mechanic shop in Wylie, Texas. Leah continues to mentor, speak, and write. She is passionate about cooking, small-space decorating, and pursuing continued spiritual and educational growth.
“As my children grow, I find myself with more time to study God’s Word and encourage women through public engagements. Yet, above all, my highest and most treasured calling is to be a wife to my husband, a mother to our children and a grandmother to our grand daughter.”
