Dear Friends,

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

We thank the God of our father for His grace upon Western Australia during the apostolic visit by Apostle Dr Steve and Dr La-Verne Simukai from 26 March to 5 April 2026. Their mission was to strengthen local churches, train leaders, and advance the legacy of our father Prof E.H. Guti. The visit covered multiple regions, including Kalgoorlie, Bunbury, Perth, and the North West. Key highlights included growing attendance, new members joining the ministry, leadership training sessions, and a powerful Big Sunday in Perth attended by over 334 people. Many experienced healing, deliverance, and spiritual renewal through the teachings and prayers.

The visit concluded in the North West with impactful ministry in Port Hedland, Bidyadanga, and Broome, where believers travelled long distances to attend. It ended with the 2026 Passover Conference, which recorded a peak attendance of 400 people. Strong teachings, revival, healing, and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit marked the conference. We are grateful to God for the apostolic visit, which brought great strengthening, unity, and spiritual revival across the churches in Western Australia.

Torres Strait: New baby!
Glory to the God of Ezekiel for He has done it again. What a miracle! On the first Sunday, attendance was 16 locals and 4 team members (total 20), while last Sunday we had 12 locals and 4 team members (total 16).

Two Fijians working in Torres joined us, both expressing a desire to become part of FIF. One of them joyfully volunteered to be our contact person and was prayed for. We also visited Horn Island, about 15 minutes away by boat, where we were warmly received by a relative of one of the elders. With tears of joy, she explained the hunger of the local people for God, with no active Pentecostal church, and expressed her willingness to work with FIF to revive backslidden believers and serve as the contact on Horn Island. Praise be to God.

This visit reminded us of our legendary father burden to establish a strong church at the tip of Australia (Cairns) and his heart to respond to people calling out for help. Thank you for your prayers.

RWANDA

We thank God for keeping and strengthening us here in Rwanda through the legacy of our Father, Professor Ezekiel Guti. Though our church building has remained closed since July 2024, God has sustained us through home Bible study groups, and we continue to see souls won for Christ.

National Council (14 March 2026): First national council for 2026 held at our church venue with 15 delegates (elders, deacons, and pastors) to plan and organize. Children’s Ministry teachers’ seminar (after Sunday service, online): Led by CE Director Pastor Petros Dope and attended by 5 teachers, who were taught the vision, mission, objectives, and programs of Child Evangelism Ministry. Teachers were encouraged and are planning a youth/children outing for early April after school closes.
Women’s prayer retreat (21–23 March 2026): Led by Pastor Annah Magumuye and the Go Quickly Committee, with resident Bishop Chantal Nkurunziza attending on Saturday. Speakers Evangelist Gamuchirai Mutanda and DP Sarah Kachamakwara ministered powerfully. The retreat saw deep times of prayer, faith clinic sessions, prophetic ministry, and powerful fellowship. Attendance: Friday night — 15 in person, 5 online; Saturday afternoon — 35 in person, 4 online.

On Sunday, the women testified and shared powerful feedback during the online service. Elder Nicky Zvenyika and Pastor Annah gave moving reports. Twenty devices connected to the online service. Children’s services after the main service: CE groups met by age (1–9 years; 10+ years) and had a blessed time of teaching.

Please pray for the approval and completion of registration for our branch meeting place with the City of Kigali and the Rwanda Governing Board so we may return to holding physical services in our church building soon.

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Praise the God of our Father for a powerful Easter Sunday service—eight attended, and God moved mightily: one person committed their life to Christ, and another re-dedicated during mid-week counseling with the pastors. We rejoice and ask for your prayers as we press on to reach many more souls. Hallelujah!

GUYANA

We give glory to the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness. We joined with Nevis for our Easter conference, which was hosted by the youth. Powerful speakers ministered on salvation, giving, and the life found in His blood, setting a high and hopeful tone for the weekend.

The history book was read and reminded us of how the church began and cast a clear vision for where we are going. A deacon from Nevis shared a moving testimony about how the conference impacted her life. This was followed by vibrant praise and worship and a youth message on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pastor Fanuel, the main speaker, delivered a powerful word on our identity in Christ that stirred many hearts and kept the focus firmly on Jesus. The service concluded with Holy Communion.

The atmosphere throughout was filled with hope and expectation for great things to come. Thank you for your prayers; please continue to pray for the completion of our church building.

JAPAN AND SOUTH KOREA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for a powerful Easter hybrid conference, encouraging attendance from South Korea and Japan (Kanto and Osaka).

The youth led the event, and we were blessed by guest speakers Pastor Learnmore and Primrose Nyanzara from Thailand. The Holy Spirit moved mightily—healing, prophetic words, Holy Communion, and joyful fellowship closed a blessed conference.

MADAGASCAR

Antananarivo – We give thanks to the faithful God of Ezekiel for His ongoing miracle-working power and for keeping the legacy of His servant alive in our nation. Souls are being saved daily: 13 people were baptized on the eve of the Easter conference, bringing the three-month total to 61. In a powerful testimony, a woman in her late sixties was prayed for after three hours of apparent lifelessness and was restored, glory to God.

We continue to equip new believers: 35 chairs have been added through our talents-for-chairs initiative to accommodate growing numbers. We held a successful National Leadership Seminar focused on “So I Am an Elder,” equipping leaders for their responsibilities.

Our youth, supported by parents, worked very hard to prepare and served joyfully during the Easter Conference. Evangelists P. and L. Sibanda (Cyprus) preached the cross with power in Antananarivo, where three people gave their lives to Christ. In Fort Dauphine, workshops and beach baptisms drew many; three more gave their lives to the Lord, and six were baptized in the ocean. Overseers T. and M. Maugara ministered mightily, revealing the power of the cross. We are praying for open doors in unreached cities and provinces and believe Forward in Faith will pioneer these places by God’s grace. To God be the glory.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

James 3:17 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. vs18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
We keep godliness in our homes by seeking wisdom on how to respond to the things that happen in the home. I see some of you are wounded because of what is happening in the home, sometimes caused by the way you speak. You just open your mouth without exercising wisdom. I am saying to you, you can be healed from that if you are there. Open your heart, because Jesus Christ, the son of the living God, who obeyed His father, went on the cross and shed His blood that we may be cleansed from all our sins, unrighteousness, and all our hurts. Jesus Christ wants to set you free and give you wisdom so that you don’t speak the same thing again, but you will speak knowledge. Forgive the people and pray to God so He will forgive you. Jesus is here and ready to heal you from the inside….God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
