Invubu History


In 2010, a software developer created the Invubu Radio Playlist for his own use. He wanted to see which song was playing on the local Christian Radio station. In early 2011, the local radio station used the playlist on their website and it gained popularity.

The current Invubu Radio Playlist is the result of many years of updates. God continues to open new doors as the playlist and apps help others seek Him.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. - Ephesians 3:20 NLT


Invubu Mission


Invubu is about remembering who the Lord is, what the Lord has done, and what the Lord has promised to do. So often we forget these things and we forget who the Lord says we are. When we forget these things our heart becomes thirsty and we seek to quench this thirst.

Invubu is a watering hole for the thirsty heart.

"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." - John 7:37-38 NKJV


Invubu Name


The word "hippocampus" defines an area of the human brain that is involved in forming, storing, and processing memory. The word "invubu" is what the Zulu people of Africa call the hippopotamus.

The Invubu name and tag line, "a watering hole for the thirsty heart", is a play on these two words.

What's In An Animal's Name?
By Rael Loon, Kruger Park Times
"The Uncontrollable One"

The hippopotamus is regarded by African people as a symbol of rebellion, uncontrollability and unruliness. The Tswana name for the animal is kubu which means 'rebellion' or 'rebelliousness'. It also means 'sudden awakening' which in Setswana is kubuga. African people also believe that the hippo is an animal of confusion because it cannot make up its mind whether it is a rhinoceros or an elephant. The Zulu people call the hippo invubu. This word has several meanings one of which has to do with mixing from the verb vuba which means 'to mix', 'to knit together' or 'to combine'. In this sense the word invubu means 'the mixed up creature' or the creature which is unable to make up its mind what it is!


The hippopotamus is similar to the double-minded man in James 1:19-27. How similar are our own lives to that double-minded man? Let us seek the Lord together to be single-minded men and women.
