Let’s give glory to the God of Ezekiel. We serve an awesome God. While celebrating the registration of the Lighthouse of Mercy we are also celebrating the 2 new souls that have come to know the Lord in Panama. Below is a link for Baba & Amai in Panama.

Braeside, Harare

Braeside District in Harare East South Province witnessed the goodness of the God of our father this previous weekend through a Men’s Conference branded “THE REAL MEN’S CONFERENCE”. The conference title was pulled out of the teachings of our father over the years in which he calls for all men to be the real men as that is his burden for men. At the conference peak 450 men gathered together to receive teachings from a powerful lineup of speakers who were urging men to take their rightful place in the kingdom of God.

14 Different churches were represented at the conference some by their Bishops and senior leadership. Delegates came from as far as Zvimba, Gweru, Marondera, Norton, Domboshawa, Chegutu and Harare. 10 men received Jesus Christ as their personal savior and some of them came secretly after the service. The conference ended up on Sunday with a couples’ fellowship where powerful teachings were given. After the Conference men felt revived and charged up to take up their roles as heads and priests of their families. Many men were restored spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, sexually and legally. We give glory to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti.

Hatfield platinum region

Platinum region in Hatfield under the leadership of pastors Modreck and Fortunate Ruhonde conducted a spectacular soul-winning campaign which saw 98 people receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. The two-day great commission event ran from 16-17 March under the code “Operation Munhuwese Ngaazive Jesu” (everyone has to know Jesus). The event was preceded by a week-long intensive teaching on soul winning with emphasis on following up on new believers. The campaign included door to door witnessing with participants from Amfcc, Zacosf Belvedere teacher’s college and Zacosf Harare Polytech and this left 84 souls emancipated from the catastrophic kingdom of darkness. The open-air crusade which ran from 16-17 March in the evening with Evangelist Masango as the speaker, added 14 souls to the body of Christ. A galore of miracles include the following:

Conclusively, we thank the iconic figure, in the field of world evangelization our father Professor E. H. Guti for inspiring us to relentlessly seek the lost souls. We heartily thank his God for the grace to win the 98 souls..

Women, girls and a few men gathered throughout the conference from regions and districts to pray for the Servant and Apostles of God. The highest attendance being 149. Many women were delivered from various evil spirits and were cleansed. There is a lot of joy and freedom.

News from around the world

St. Kitts

What a mighty God we serve. During our midweek services we witnessed some ladies become filled with the power of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and a miracle of healing as a sister had limited use of her left hand but when prayed for that hand came alive and she had full use of it. A new lady from one of the outreach programs declared that Forward In Faith is now her church. Glory be to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti.

Sunday service had 17 adults and 6 children in attendance which included 2 visitors. One of the visitors said she felt a burden being lifted off of her and she experienced a sense of relief after prayer. After church the outreach ministry team visited the hospital and ministered in song and prayers to those who are ailing. One man gave his heart to the Lord and five persons gave their contact information and ask that we keep in touch. God is doing a great work in St. Kitts from the seed that has been planted by our father Ezekiel. We thank you for your unwavering prayers.

Nevis

If you want to see the glory of the Lord, why don’t you praise Him, get on your knees and praise Him. Nevis has been seeing the glory of the Lord through much prayer and reaching out to souls that are hurting, in distress, bewildered, searching for a change and searching for deliverance. Our weekly activities have revived and energized the church seeing raised numbers like we have never seen before. Our ladies came together on Tuesday evening for an unforgettable treat on “Being a Godly Woman”. 18 ladies attended “Hi Tea” dressed in their formal attire and shared and fellowshipped while Pastor Vee delivered a stirring word that encouraged and uplifted the women. They all expressed such joy and made plans for future ladies activities.

On Sunday 35 persons (24 Adults and 11 Children) attended our worship which was Spirit-filled and rich with the Holy Spirit delivering several in attendance. The testimonies were raw and ripe with acknowledgement of the goodness of God and many shouted thank you to God’s unwavering grace and mercy. Many were slain in the spirit, deliverance took place and there was not a dry eye in the house. Pastor Enoch closed service as he read Psalms 91. We serve an awesome God and He is doing a mighty work in FIFMI Nevis. Hallelujah! We continue to pray for deliverance for family members and for our upcoming Resurrection and Easter Activities.

Barbados

Oh glory to the Most High for His mercies endureth forever. We thank you for your prayers for Barbados. We want to thank our father and mother for their endless prayers too. It was a historic week indeed. We had a powerful crusade with a pleasing attendance the highest being 44 . Prophecy and deliverance took place. There is great joy in the believers and our numbers are increasing. Our Sunday service was unique with an attendance of 43 (39 adults and 4 children). Indeed it was a big Sunday and God spoke in an amazing way, this church belongs to God no matter where it is. God is doing great things in Barbados. More than 10 people who were visiting for sometime committed themselves fully to being members of FIF. Continue praying for us that God may bring more of them.

China

We give glory to the God of Ezekiel who allowed China to join the whole FIFMI world in praying for the Servants and Apostles of God and the work of God. We are grateful for our pastors who keep encouraging us. The month of March has been dedicated as a month of prayer and fasting for all ladies as we pray for the work of God and His servants. From the 16-17th of March, 26 ladies gathered together for a prayer retreat. During this time we embarked on absolute fasting, day and night. We began by pouring our hearts and cleansing ourselves after a powerful teaching from one of our Elders. We had a wonderful time in His presence praying for the Servants of God and did not see how the time went by. The Holy Spirit moved in a mighty way, He spoke to us and encouraged us and the ladies in China will never be the same again! We thank God for His faithfulness which endures forever. During our Sunday service the spirit of prayer was in our midst and we are grateful to God for such favour upon us!

Oman​.

​We held our first Couples’ Fellowship this last Saturday night where a total of 17 people attended (5 couples and 7 single spouses). The local Pastors Dr Richardson & Faith Mafuriranwa taught on “How to enjoy your marriage and not endure it”. The couples benefited immensely from the teachings and asked for more of such fellowships. The Pastors took this opportunity to introduce the FAMB ministry which will be launched at our next fellowship to be held soon. Thank you for the prayers as we continue to teach the vision of our church and to train leaders in this year of thanking God.

Mozambique

We are thanking God for the successful pastors Deeper Life held in Mozambique. 2018 had the greatest attendance of pastors. They all travelled safely from different zones and provinces. Apostle C. & Overseer Angela Kapandura and DP Zvizvai were the main speakers of the conference. They left no stone unturned. May the God of Ezekiel be glorified for such a power packed conference. All the speakers flowed together with the same spirit of this church. Every pastor testified that God was taking us into a new season. It was an exciting moment how God strengthened our national leader the Archbishop baba & Amai Simao as they danced full of the joy of the Lord. Indeed the conference was a success. We pray that the pastors maybe able to implement these great teachings. Thank you again for your prayers.

USA

Atlanta: We had a powerful Prayer Camp in Atlanta Georgia with 18 women in attendance.

Friday night into Saturday morning was a time of cleansing. Dr Cathy Marurama preached a powerful word which led the women to pour out their hearts. Great deliverance took place as people were set free. Afterwards every one felt so light and there was a great move of the Holy Spirit and God was speaking among us with some seeing Visions.

We had a great time praying for the Servant and Apostles of God and also praying for the needs in our nation. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit we fought with the spirit of sickness and death in our Nation and felt the victory which was confirmed by visions.

Sunday was a women’s Sunday and the presence of the Holy Spirit was manifest. The women testified joyfully. The Prayer Camp has left a spirit of joy and oneness among the ladies. We thank God for this season of prayer.

Dallas: A total of 38 women attended the women’s prayer camp in Dallas. There was such a sweet spirit and a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit as the women prayed for their lives and interceded for the work of God and the servants of the Lord. Women had time to pour out their hearts as and deal with the spirit of unforgiveness. A lot of women were delivered from the spirit of unforgiveness. Our guest speaker, Pastor Kudzai Vilika shared a powerful word on the power of praying in one accord and faith.

This week:

   TEACHING:  PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Mark 11:12-24. v 22-23 says, “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Last year the miracles of school fees happened but once in the flesh things stopped happening. The lame man in Acts 3 – Peter and John come to the gate called beautiful and they speak to the man who looks at them expecting to get something. Acts 3:6-8 “Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”  And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.  So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God”

Peter said the word without doubting. His spirit and faith were connected.

We have a Dining hall at AMFCC built out of Mark 11:22-23. This was done using the God kind of faith. Money came by faith and the dinning hall was built. We need this kind of faith and it goes hand in hand with a clean heart. Peter and John had faith in the name of Jesus because they had also seen what Jesus did. Authority was given in the name of Jesus. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,

Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
