Dear Friends,

INTERNATIONAL GIRLS’ LEADERSHIP SEMINAR

The International Girls Leadership Seminar was successfully held from 12–15 March 2026 at the Ezekiel Guti International Convention Centre, bringing together girls from across Zimbabwe and other nations for spiritual impartation, leadership development, and practical training to help them grow spiritually, socially, and economically. The seminar opened on Thursday with over 1,500 girls in attendance and was marked by passionate worship, focused teaching, and practical sessions designed to equip the girl child for effective service and leadership.

The gathering was greatly honored by the presence of our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and Rev. Nyasha Miriam Guti, who attended the first day and imparted fatherly and motherly counsel. Our father called the girls to cultivate a teachable spirit, obey the Word, and remain faithful to the doctrines and patterns of the church, urging them to guard their lives through prayer, discipline, and godly conduct. Rev. Nyasha Miriam Guti encouraged vigilance against negative influences, stressing that through prayer and commitment to God, girls can overcome challenges arising from family backgrounds and other sources.

Throughout the seminar, guest speakers—including Overseers S. and V. Simbanegavi—and other ministers delivered timely messages on prayer, leadership, spiritual protection, and practical life skills. Emphasis was placed on prayer as the foundation of the Christian life; sessions included interactive teaching, mentorship moments, and real-life examples to help girls translate biblical principles into everyday choices. Worship and small-group ministry created space for personal encounters, testimonies, and one-to-one pastoral care.

By the final day, the event had grown to over 3,000 girls, a testimony to the deep hunger for discipleship and empowerment. In the closing session, the Lord moved mightily: twelve girls accepted Christ, and more than one hundred girl leaders rededicated their lives, committing afresh to servant leadership and faithful service. Led by International Director Pastor Ruth Basa, the seminar left a lasting spiritual impact and provided practical tools and follow-up plans to ensure the seeds sown will bear fruit in homes, churches, and communities.

GHANA

How marvelous that what we prayed for years ago has come to pass! FIFMI Ghana rejoices that the Lord has granted us the blessing of welcoming our parents and our mom. They were joyfully received at the airport on 13 March 2026 with songs, flowers, and warm expressions of love and respect.

On Saturday, 14 March, they inspected the one-acre site at Ohojo, Nsawam, and the Adoagyiri church building, which is yet to be roofed. Our parents were thrilled to see the work the children of Baba Guti are doing in Ghana. That evening, a provincial council meeting was held where leaders received vital teaching on “Property Management” and “Finance.” The sessions were practical, encouraging, and well received by all.

FIFMI Ghana’s Big Sunday was glorious—believers were eager to meet our parents and Mom for the first time. We enjoyed powerful teaching on the apostolic patterns of our church. The atmosphere was electric with praise, expectancy, and thanksgiving.

Our Mom, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, preached an inspiring message on forgiveness, illustrated with poignant examples. Hallelujah—49 people gave their lives to Christ! Our Father declared healings over the congregation, and Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti exhorted us to remain united in love and to continue as true disciples. Ghana will never be the same! We give God all the glory for this awesome time of fellowship, revival, and spiritual fruit.

Our facilitators from the International HQ, the International Director for AMFCC part-time, Rev Dr. Johnson Mlambo, and the Dean of Students at AMFCC Harare, Rev. Edward Zimbili, took to the stage to passionately share, reminding the house of the vision of the Servant and Apostle of God Prof. Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti regarding the school. Although the school has room for Non ZAOGA students, it is the tool by which our Church will grow thick, according to the prophecy. The equipping of the teacher was of a high standard, and motivation was given to make the schools great in all the centers.

Attendance improved after a slow first day, with over 51 delegates at the AMFCC Part-Time Teachers’ Seminar. The orientations were in-depth, covering topics such as How to Approach a Subject, How Students Learn Effectively, and Qualities of a Good Teacher. Elders (postgraduates) and pastors from Greater Lusaka attended under National Administrator Rev Dr. Godfrey Chipoya.

Guti.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

… I didn’t know it, but she sensed godliness. This is what will happen to people when we keep godliness in us. Imagine what will happen to our in-laws? What will happen to our relatives? What will happen to everyone we are connected to when they come near us, and they sense something like that?
Another year, people sensed the same thing; When we went to Israel with the Servant and Apostle of God, our father E H Guti, people were watching as we were talking with our children, and finally, they said Hey, we have been watching you talking with your children, and you were just talking so differently and sweet. We saw something, what is it in you? And Baba said l think it’s the love of Jesus Christ. I believe this is where God is taking us as we keep godliness in us…God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
