Dear Friends,

UNITED KINGDOM

National GOQ Prayer Retreat Report
The God of Ezekiel remembered the GOQ of the United Kingdom. It was a Prayer Retreat like no other – proof and evidence that the Legacy Continues.
The GOQ met in their numbers across the 3 Zones and their UK Girls Pastors and Girls Advisors. The dynamic speakers: Zone 1 Pastor Cleo Mutingwa (UK Girls Pastor), Zone 2 – Pastor Carol Guti (International Guest Speaker), and Zone 3 – Pastor Priscilla Gono, were powerfully and mightily used of God.
The Holy Spirit was at work throughout the prayer retreat. No one took notice of the time. It was moving and amazing to see the girls (including their pastors and advisors) soak in and allow Isaiah 58 to speak into their lives as they opened up and poured out their wrongdoings. The girls also had time for personal devotion and prayer as was the vision given to our father Archbishop Prof E.H. Guti. The GOQ were taught self-development, the importance of being genuine, prayer and even working Multi-Project Talents, just like our mum, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, #SaEunor. The girls were also encouraged to invest in our father’s books so as to remain aligned with the vision and fully grounded in the doctrine of this church.
Sunday was filled with great joy and jubilation, as the girls partook in Holy Communion as well as testified about the impact of the Prayer Retreat in their lives. The girls felt empowered as they met other girls, some felt that they had regained their confidence through the teachings from the Prayer Retreat. They were truly thankful for the pouring-out sessions because it encouraged and lightened them of burdens and hurts, they were holding onto. UK GOQ highlighted the importance of the Prayer Retreats.
The girl child was thrilled to be coming down the mountain, returning home delivered from every form of hurt, pain, depression, bondage, and oppression, living in life the Fear of God and making this their lifestyle. We give glory to the God of our father, for the life of the girl child in the United Kingdom will never remain the same.

National BOT Prayer Retreat
We are pleased, humbled, and grateful to the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for the successful UK National BOT prayer retreat. There were over 76 boys who attended the prayer retreat in Birmingham this past weekend. It was a prayer retreat with a difference for the boys as we followed the model and teaching of Isaiah 58 as guided/taught by our mum, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, and our father Archbishop, Professor Ezekiel H Guti
Our speakers included our UK National BOT Pastor Blessing Mutingwa, Pastor Tendai Bvunzawabaya, Evangelist Kamasho, and Elder Blessed Mutonza who were mightily used by God throughout the prayer retreat. The topics that were taught included self-development, righteousness, and the power of the word of God. We thank God that the boys had an opportunity for personal bible reading, devotion in prayer, and fasting. Isaiah 58 was the foundation of our prayer retreat which led to a powerful faith clinic session, where the boys were pouring out and confessing. There was a mighty move of the power of God, as many young men were delivered and set free from the spirit of fornication, consumption of alcohol, drugs, smoking, vaping and many other issues related to young people and 14 boys rededicated their lives to Jesus Christ on Saturday evening. Glory to God, Hallelujah!
We continue to see God in the UK, as the boys’ ministry continues to grow while developing and empowering the boy child to arise and walk in the Kingdom of God, keeping the values of the legacy of our father. On Sunday, there was unspeakable joy as the boys danced during praise and worship and gave their testimonies.
We were blessed to have our National Administrator, Apostle Oscar Zezani, on Sunday. What a powerful prayer retreat! Please continue to pray for us.

Yorkshire Province
We thank the God of our Father Ezekiel for a powerful and life-changing Go Quickly prayer retreat in Yorkshire Province that was attended by over 100 women in Carlisle from 28 March to 30 March 2025. The retreat was spearheaded by Overseer Skhaa Manyati, Pastor Cleo Mutingwa, and the Yorkshire Province Go Quickly board. Our invited speaker Dr Bella Kasese was mightily used of God. She led the women through reading Isaiah 58. The women then had pouring-out sessions leading to forgiveness, a clean heart, the fear of God, and building and maintaining relationships. On Sunday there was a thick move of the Holy Spirit when our speaker stood to preach. Emotional healing took place, and many were baptised in the Holy Spirit.
Hearts were healed and women were delivered from the spirit of anger. Women danced and rejoiced after testifying of the goodness of God. We continue to give glory to the God of Ezekiel who remains faithful to continue taking His church forward.

NIGERIA

Praise the Lord! We are grateful to the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for remembering Nigeria and Abuja. We thank God for His grace to have Bishop Langton Mpanduki and his team, Pastor Norry Malongi, and Evangelist Prosper Gwenjere, from March 22nd to 31st. On Saturday 22nd March, Bishop Mpanduki visited the Macedonia Assembly and Calvary Assembly in Ogun State which had 11 attendees. Sunday 23rd March Calvary assembly had 25 attendees, the atmosphere was electric with great joy as people danced, and the church was encouraged by our bishop to practice love, the foundation of our church. We had a total of 119 attendees in Lagos. Eight souls accepted Jesus Christ.
On March 29th, we took the team to Gwagwalada Assembly, 52km away from the city, where 58 people attended. Bishop Mpanduki taught a powerful message, grounding the new church, and six people gave their lives to Jesus. The following Sunday, we had a special service at Lubge Assembly with 78 people in attendance. Our Ambassador and his family graced the service, and Bishop Mpanduki laid an apostolic foundation. The atmosphere was filled with great joy as the bishop blessed the church. The apostolic visit left a lasting impact on our churches and brought joy, encouragement, and a fresh sense of purpose.
We appreciate Ambassador H.E. M. Ranga and Mama Ambassador, Elder Mrs. Ranga, Elders Dunny, and Abigail Semwayo for hosting the bishop and his team at their residence and all the leadership for the great work.
We are also thrilled to announce that the Nigerian church has acquired a new land in Ogun State, which Bishop Langton Mpanduki prayed for during his visit. This new acquisition will serve as a foundation for future growth and expansion of the church in the region. We are excited to see the church in Abuja continue to thrive. We have rented a new location and set up a beautiful shed for the Gwagwalada Assembly, moving from our previous school venue. Thank you for your unwavering prayers and support. Nigeria will never be the same again. Forward ever.

THAILAND

We are eternally grateful to the God of our father for His continued faithfulness in our nation of Thailand. We were overjoyed to receive Pastors Learnmore and Primrose Nyanzara on the 20th of March, and the church is electrified with expectancy for what God will do in this season following their first testimonial Sunday sermon. God is already using them to minister to His children as testimonies of healing are coming in. One lady testified of instant healing after visiting the Pastors’ house in faith. Another lady was healed and saved from an emergency operation and hospitalization costing thousands of dollars. We are deeply moved by God’s divine protection of all church members during the 28 March Myanmar earthquake (7.7 magnitude) that shook most of Thailand. One lady, who lives nearer to the border, had a near heart-attack experience but testified that she felt something move in her heart as the Pastor prayed for her on her way to the hospital. After medical tests, she was cleared of all medical conditions despite the initial prognosis. Glory be to GOD! Pastor Learnmore Nyanzara stirred the church up for revival through the ‘Dry bones live again’ sermon in preparation for our week of prayer and fasting, ‘Week of His encounters’. Thank you for praying for us, as we pray for you.

BOTSWANA

We thank the God of our Father, Archbishop E H Guti, the visionary of the Single Women Ministry for a power-packed conference held from Thursday the 27th to Sunday the 30th of March at Block 8 church Gaborone. We witnessed a remarkable increase in attendance starting on Thursday with 53 delegates and 320 delegates on Sunday. The delegates included members from our four outside Gaborone Provinces with the Overseers, pastors, Umbrellas and the Single Women National Director, DP Regina Mapeu. The line-up of speakers included the Single Women International Advisor Reverend Caillar Mhlandhla, the International Director pastor Mary Msiza, and the National Single Women Director of South Africa. They were all mightily used by God as they ministered and shared powerful teachings and great deliverance was experienced as witnessed by the move of the Holy Spirit and one on one counselling that took place on Saturday. Some of the topics covered were: The fear of God, Discipleship, Being Imitators of our Father, and Objectives of Single Women Ministry. Most teachings were shared from books by our Father. On Sunday the International Director concluded the Conference on a high note as she shared powerfully on Maintaining The Legacy. Botswana Single Women Ministry will never be the same after this unique and one of its own kind conference. Mama Bishop Dr. Hildah Nchunga also graced the Conference.

NEVIS

We are grateful to God in the FIFMI Nevis Assembly as we witness a strong commitment to spiritual growth and community engagement, aligning with the broader vision of FIFMI. Our Bible study by Dr Robert about discerning the Holy Spirit, during the Sunday Service Bible Study, provoked so much hunger in the believers to participate in this divine nature empowering believers to be conduits for divine grace. The testimonies of believers receiving breakthroughs, ranging from securing new jobs to launching entrepreneurial ventures, suggest a tangible impact of their faith and devotion. We view these successes as affirmations of God’s favour and very encouraging to our congregation. We are grateful for the joy and unity that make our church be vibrant and thriving assembly dedicated to both spiritual enlightenment and practical advancement within the lives of its members. One of our elders hosted a fellowship after service. There is so much joy in the believers to see God at work. The legacy continues. Continue to pray for us.

CAYMAN ISLANDS

This Sunday 30 March we had 47 people in attendance. We had an awesome time of prayer followed by a powerful worship session. During testimony time there were testimonies of how after prayer Elder’s brother-in-law who had been declared dead, came back to life. We also had a testimony of how after Pastor Tina ministered one of the church members had a release in her life and the torment she had experienced over the last few months came to an end.
Mrs Makowah shared the word and she taught on Prevailing with the word. After preaching various church members came for a time of prayer and ministration.
We thank the Lord for his mighty hand in our midst and we continue to pray for the Lord protect and watch over pir leaders as they minister and serve the church. Additionally, we continue to pray that the hand of God will continue to be seen in the lives of the church members. Thank you for your continued support and prayers

MAURITIUS

We are ever grateful to the God of our father as we witness His mighty hand at work in our church. For the past 3 weeks during our Sunday Bible Studies, our Pastors have been teaching Church Standards and the chain of multiplication. As a result, we want to thank God for the setting up of more departments and structures. Many more people now have departments in which they serve God. The Bible Studies’ structure was also revisited and revived to encourage attendance and functionality.
Last weekend was a week of divine encounters! On Friday and Saturday, Go Quickly and Tell had a 2-day prayer retreat camping at the church from the 21st to the 22nd of March. A total of 13 women showed up and received teachings from Pastor Shami Mwale. The retreat ended with jubilation as the teaching of Talents sparked a desire to embark on the journey of the 2025 ‘multi project talents’. On Friday, we gathered for Worship Night, where we had a wonderful encounter with the presence of God. His glory filled the house, refreshing and strengthening us for the journey ahead. After Worship Night, Girls of Quality continued all night with teachings and fellowship. 44 girls attended including 2 visitors.
Sunday service Pastor Shami delivered a stirring message on the fire of God emphasizing that the fire should never burn out or die down. The presence of God moved mightily, igniting fresh passion and revival among us

INDIA

Gujarat – We give all glory to the God of our father for an extraordinary Big Sunday, where everything went according to plan! The presence of God was tangible as we gathered in unity and anticipation of the upcoming Easter Conference. Our service began with an impactful Bible study led by our Provincial Vice Coordinator, Panashe Chiroodza, setting a strong spiritual foundation for the day. This was followed by a powerful word from our Provincial Coordinator, Praymore Sadomba, which deeply touched the hearts of the congregants. We truly saw the God of Ezekiel move among us as our people gave willingly and joyfully. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm, and as the congregation responded with generosity, Deaconess Sharon Jani played a key role in uplifting the spirit of giving, ensuring that the moment was filled with joy and encouragement. We were blessed with an attendance of 82 members, a testament to the growing work of God in Gujarat.
As a province, we continue to witness the faithfulness of God, with services running smoothly at both the Rajkot Assembly and Mehsana Assembly. We thank the God of Ezekiel for His continued guidance and favour and ask for continued prayers as we prepare for the Easter Conference.

SOLOMON ISLANDS

Glory be to God of our father Ezekiel Guti for such a powerful prayer retreat that left many believers uplifted. Ladies were pouring out in tears and deliverance took place and those who came sick were healed. Others had bitterness towards their children for not obeying them and even some of their relatives. We thank God for our speaker overseer Molly Muzanamombe whom God used mightily to encourage believers in different areas including working of talents and giving to God.

ZAOGA College Students Fellowship
ZACOSF successfully hosted its National Leadership Seminar from March 28th to 30th at Belvedere Technical Teachers College in Harare. The seminar brought together about 250 student leaders and 50 coordinators from remarkably 23 colleges across Zimbabwe for leadership development and capacity building.
An array of powerful transformational speakers took turns to teach on key topics with the main speaker, Reverend Douglas Makuyana, the AMFCC Harare Director teaching on discovering one’s area of specialty and emphasizing the significance of following the ZACOSF visionary Archbishop Prof. E.H. Guti’s teachings. District Pastor Sikhosi Sithole taught practical skills development and utilization; a teaching that opened the students’ eyes to the reality that they can actually go entrepreneurial and start making money even before completing their studies by putting their skills into practice.
Overseer Eunice Matsikanyere stressed the importance of self-supportiveness as a ministry by provoking the ministry to work hard and give toward the work of God. Evangelist Leonard Chipeture, reading from the ZAOGA History Book stressed that this ministry for students, just like the parent ministry ZAOGA, must continue with anointing and miracles. The Principal of the Ezekiel Guti Technical College – EGTC, Mr. Samuel Mutunzi delivered a presentation that showed us how unique the college is, and how fast it is growing and attracting students from all over Zimbabwe. He gave testimonies of how students’ lives are changing for the better at the institution.
Elder Silence Chinguwa, one of the first fruits of ZACOSF shared invaluable insights on Grooming and Etiquette. Ministry coordinators Biggie Binduki and Ms. V. Muchena also shared on living and running ministry programs at the college. As a ministry, we celebrate the grace given to our young leaders such as the National Students’ Board chairman Anoint Chirungu and their team for successfully running such a big seminar.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Education is what you get from man, and wisdom is from God. Some of us were not treated well, and we grew up mischievous, but work has straightened out some people.
When we work yet do not behave well or are lazy – the first few days, you think people hate you, yet it’s laziness. Bad treatment can make you a bad person. Whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord. He’s the one who rewards you. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
