Dear Friends,

AUSTRALIA ZONE 1 DEEPERLIFE CONFERENCE

We want to thank the God of our father, Archbishop Professor E.H. Guti for an extraordinary Deeperlife Conference held at the Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre in Sydney from Thursday 28 September to Sunday 1 October 2023. Long live the spirit and legacy of the Legend that is our father. The Conference was attended by delegates from the 7 States that make Zone 1 and those from the Islands of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Solomon Islands and also a few from Western Australia Zone 2 which will be hosting its own conference this week.
We were elated to receive to the Nation, our father, Apostle Dr Joseph Joe Guti and Pastor Nyasha Guti, the DSG Apostle Dr Steve and Dr La- Verne Simukai, Bishop Dr Joshua D. K and Dr Mabel Samasuwo (UK), Rev Gift Ranga (Zimbabwe) and Pastor Rick Mariano (USA). These powerful Servants of the Lord and our local speakers were mightily used by God and we believe Australia will never be the same again. The attendance on the first day was 265 rising to 503 by Sunday.

The highlight of the Conference was the moment when the Bishop and General Overseer of Australia, Bishop Dr Budirirayi Masaka on behalf of the Executive, the Pastors, Leaders and Saints of Australia led the Nation to receive and welcome our father Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and pledged to stand with him and continue to support the work of God and continue in the Vision of ZAOGA Forward in Faith. The Conference kicked off with a Pastors Meeting and the DSG Dr Steve Simukai was the first speaker setting the tone for what became an unforgettable Conference as speaker after speaker was mightily used by God.
A lot of healing, deliverance and impartation took place with some notable miracles as follows:
One person was healed from hip pain.
9 people received leg pain healing
9 people with migraine headaches were healed.
A lady watching online from Northern Territory got healed from a leg pain.
Someone watching online from Victoria received healing in their torn ligament.
One man with pain in the chest healed.
Many people with shoulder pain were healed.
Several people were healed from stomach pain.
One person was healed from ankle and heel pain.
A lady with knee pain was healed.
Several marriages and relationships were healed and restored.
Apostle Dr Joseph Joe Guti encouraged the leadership to remain true disciples rooted and grounded in the doctrine of our church in this time of transition. He emphasised the importance of unity amongst us.
Thank you for praying for us and please pray for Zone 2 Deeperlife in Perth Western Australia this week from 5-8 October 2023.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Ras Al Khaimah – We are grateful to the covenant keeping God, the God of our father Ezekiel, for the new Ras Al Khaimah Assembly in the UAE, which was launched by our Overseers and the UAE pastors on the 5th of June 2023, is doing well by God’s grace. It started off with a membership of 8 people, and today it has grown to 18 members. RAK Assembly is led by 1 Elder and 3 Deacons. We started off meeting in the lounge of an apartment owned by one of our Deacons. Due to the increase in attendance, the house became too small for us. Through an outreach by our leaders God sent us a brother who is a musician and brought his personal keyboard we are now using. By God’s grace we managed to acquire a nice venue at one of the hotels in town. This is more suitable as our membership is increasing. Our services are already vibrant with the help of musical instruments. We hold hybrid prayer meetings as an assembly, every Monday evening as well as morning devotions and Friday prayers. Every Wednesday evening we meet for Bible Study. This is helping our members to grow fast in God’s word.Soul winning is through fellowships, one on one, and home visitations. In the season of Missions, our new assembly has already started taking part in raising money for our Missions Fund. May you please continue to stand with us in prayer as we claim Ras Al Khaimah for Jesus.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

An excerpt from the History book

“..We do not allow a Christian to point at another Christian that he/she bewitched you. We do not believe that a Christian can be bewitched by man. We believe that a child of God is far above all principalities. Eph 2:6. “and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”
We believe that new man cannot be bewitched because he is sitting together with Christ in heavenly places. If you think that someone has a demon of witchcraft you must go and cast out that demon of witchcraft, you must go and cast out that demon in the name of Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:32 ““So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”….” God bless you.

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