 Dear Friends, 

HAPPY 54TH ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI! This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. From humble beginnings under a gum tree on 12 May 1960, today we have reached 123 nations and states. Millions of lives have been touched by this powerful seed of ZAOGA FIFMI. While harvesting souls for the kingdom we have been able by God’s help, to build schools, a hospital, a university amongst other things in order to help the community and be relevant. A church that was identified as a crying church for poor people has now gone global with people prospering in their lives. We give praise to God for the obedience of Baba & Amai as they continue with the mandate that God has given them – to lead people to heaven.

Anniversary celebrations took place all over the world and reports confirm that these were joyous occasions. Both old and new churches celebrated this past weekend. The reading of the book continues to strengthen members as we are reminded of where we came from and therefore enlightened on where we are going. Many people did the traditional march with lots of singing and joyful noises along the many streets of Zimbabwe, others had convoys of cars honking and music playing in trucks. Some preached the message of salvation and people got saved before the march took place. In other countries believers gathered and celebrated.

Baba wanted to take of his small cars from home to give to ZEGU. God spoke to the Youth in Zimbabwe and they were able to buy that car for ZEGU. Praise the Lord for their obedience.

Qatar

We had a wonderful anniversary from Thursday today Friday, with almost 11 nations represented. There was joy in the church like in the beginning of the ministry. We had attendance of 75 people. We thank the God of our father for his grace.

Belize

We thank God for His grace in Belize. This year being our first anniversary we saw the hand of God. People were so zealous and joyful and the testimonies that were given were so touching. Surely the coming of Forward in Faith in Belize has changed a lot of lives. The saints took it upon themselves to decorate the church for the celebrations. During our conference the history of the church was emphasized and the book was read. 42 people were in attendance. God is a great God.

Nebraska

We joined the FIFMI world in celebrating the 54th anniversary. Friday night 10 adults and 4 children were in attendance. There was lots of joy as old songs were sung while others joined in. Powerful testimonies were given. The people were keen to hear the history of the church as the book was read. The presence of God filled the place. On Saturday 27 adults and over 15 children gathered for a bar-b-que (braai). One adult and 5 children gave their lives to the Lord. Sunday despite the heavy rains 18 adults and 10 children came to finish off the celebrations. Moving testimonies of how the coming of FIFMI to Nebraska has changed lives were given. Fellowship continued all afternoon into the evening. So much love was felt. Forward in Faith is the church of God for sure. Lives have been touched by this great seed. Praise the Lord.

 

Cyprus

We celebrated the 54th anniversary in conjunction with FIFMI Cyprus 2nd year in existence in Cyprus. Testimonies were given and we had our first Holy Communion. Everyone was so excited and thankful to God for such a great church. 

 

 

 

 

This week:

 

 
  1. Pray for the Servant and Apostles of God, Drs Ezekiel & Eunor Guti that God gives them divine strength. The work continues to grow and so do the needs as a result our prayers increase. Pray that God continues to give Baba & Amai the wisdom needed. Pray for people who will rally behind the vision. Our prayers should never be underestimated as we know the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Pray that the things that need to be in place for ZEGU and the HQ to be done quickly so Baba & Amai are able to continue on the mission of winning souls. Let’s continue to praise God in advance for giving them visas for the nations God is sending them to in 2014. 
  2. Pray for the Mbuya Dorcas Hospital equipment for the kitchen and the general wards to arrive on time. Pray for safe passage and no delays. 
  3. Thank God for the wonderful celebrations that took place all over Zimbabwe and the global FIFMI world. Praise God for the 54 years of grace and power.
  4. Praise God for the churches in Gibraltar, Turkey and Cuba. Pray that the right people are found to be sent to Cuba and God to provide the Spanish interpreters when they arrive. In addition pray that we are able to get a good mission house.
  5. The Singapore church registration papers are now in the registrar general’s office. This is the final stage. People of God, let’s pray for a smooth and fast process of this registration.  Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think….Eph 3:20.
  6. We know there is an urgency and Baba is moving quickly to fulfill the mandate that God has given him: Pray for the people who will remain to nurture the new churches that they will have the same spirit of the man of God which is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. They should have the burden to follow up believers, do home visits and call people.  Pray for the teams that have been sent out and those who will be sent out in pairs that they have the same spirit that is in Ezekiel. 
  7. Pray for the final preparations for the Israel tour, May 15-24, 2014
  8. A meeting place for Nebraska has been identified and paperwork has been submitted. Pray for favor with the landlord. Pray for successful preparations for the second assembly in Belize – meeting place and required items.

    TEACHING:    PART OF AMAI’S MESSAGE:

 

 

Through talents we learn market research;quality control etc. The youth should work talents together with their parents for this is a great practical business school. When you hear believers are doing a certain project or selling certain products; we should not all begin to do the same thing because sooner or later we will flood that market and the business dies. We should receive revelations on many types of projects to do. Do a comprehensive research of your business. Other people go into a particular business late and fail to make profit. Other businesses should move faster with the world of technology or else you will always be behind business events and make no profits
The school of talents teach that we begin from humble beginnings; we start with small projects. I started with selling confectionaries such as fat cooks at Morgenstar Hospital. Next I did hand knitted jerseys working into the late hours of the night. Next I bought a sawing machine for 15, next I bought a single bed knitting machine, then cardomatic, then the computerized knitting machine. After that I went to mass production of peanut butter, then into pastry. 
We can start small but we should not keep doing small things for long. We should graduate from level to level. It is good to sell sweets but we should become the manufacturers of sweets or wholesalers. Those selling peanut butter should sell in bulk not one bottle at a time. TO BE CONTINUED…
God bless you.

 
 
We love you and are praying for you,
Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
