Dear Friends,

MIDDLE EAST WOMEN OF PURPOSE CONFERENCE

We give glory to the God of our Father for the Middle East Women of Purpose Conference, held from 20th to 23rd March 2025 under the theme “Walking in the Legacy.” Women from across the region and 30 international delegates from the UK, USA, Canada, Uganda, and Zimbabwe gathered for a life-transforming experience.
The conference was hosted by Overseer Rhoda Dewa, the Middle East Overseer, and was blessed to have our Mum Apostle Dr. Eunor Guti, Our Mother Reverend Nyasha Miriam Guti, and Go Quickly Director Dr. La-Verne Simukai in attendance. The women were further enriched by the teachings of Overseer Talent Mayemu from the UK and Overseer Isabel Machuwaire from Zimbabwe, along with other anointed speakers.
The power of God was evident throughout the conference, with an average daily attendance of 176 physical and 78 online attendees, culminating in the highest attendance on Sunday with 359 physical and 92 online attendees. 18 women were baptized in the Holy Spirit for the first time, and 6 new converts gave their lives to Christ. Deliverance was evident as women were freed from addictions, fear, and spiritual oppression, and many experienced deep emotional and physical healing.
Testimonies poured in as women shared how their lives were transformed. One woman testified that her husband has started attending church. Another shared how she had arrived at the conference with severe pain but was miraculously healed. A lady testified about newfound strength and peace in raising her special needs child, while another woman discovered a new home in FIF after being evangelized to by her housemate. A powerful testimony of family restoration was given by a mother whose son reconciled with his estranged father during the conference.
Our Mum Apostle, Dr. Eunor Guti, encouraged women to embrace the legacy of faith, teaching from 2 Peter 1:3-7 and reminding them of the importance of growing in faith and godly character. Reverend Nyasha Miriam Guti spoke powerfully on becoming all-rounded women of purpose, walking in the legacy of our Father.
There was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and many lives were transformed. As the women of the Middle East return to their homes, they carry renewed faith, healing, and revival. Indeed, the God of our Father has done it again! To God be the glory!
