Dear Friends,

54TH ELDERS DEEPER LIFE, ZONE 1 INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

The conference kicked off with record-breaking attendance from commencement to closing. Driven by our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti’s burden to have all elders attend the leadership conference, it was the first in the history of the church where delegates did not pay registration fees, yet the standard of the conference remained high.

Over 3,000 delegates registered by the evening session of Day One, and attendance peaked at 6,500, representing 98% of the Greater Harare elders, by the closing afternoon. Among the international nations were over 200 delegates from Mozambique and 45 delegates from Zambia, and many others. Hosts, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and our mother, Rev. Nyasha Miriam Guti, attended throughout the conference, which was punctuated with faith clinics after teachings on Salvation and Forgiveness. The conference was also graced by Senior Archbishop and our mom, Professor Eunor Guti, who shared powerfully on Forgiveness. Archbishop Elias Soko (South Africa) shared testimonials on practicing the Legacy based on Philippians 4:9.

Other speakers and dignitaries in attendance included the Secretary General, Bishop Mishael Nyambo, and Rev. Leticia Nyambo, as well as the Go-Quickly Director, Dr. La- Verne Simukai. The speakers delivered powerful, spirit-filled teachings that re-aligned leaders with the elevating Legacy set by our founding father, the legendary Prof. Ezekiel Guti. The conference was marked by a deep, tangible presence of God throughout, sustained by the leadership of the devoted Praise and Worship team. Words of encouragement, prophetic insights, warnings, and confirmations were shared, and many witnessed the angelic presence; it can only be by the grace of God.

We rejoice and congratulate our mother, Rev. Nyasha Miriam Guti, as she was consecrated to be an Apostle during this conference, making her the second woman in ZAOGA FIF to be consecrated as an Apostle, following Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti.

MOZAMBIQUE PASTORS CONFERENCE

We thank the God of our father E.H. Guti for His grace upon Mozambique during the Pastors’ Conference held in Maputo from April 8–11, 2026.

The conference was graced by a high-level delegation from the international headquarters, led by Secretary-General Bishop Mishael Nyambo, and including Reverend Letícia Nyambo, Bishop Moses & Rev Shirley Mlambo, Overseer Noel Bango, and Reverend Douglas Makuyana. Teachings focused on the pastor’s life and character, fear of God, holiness, talents, the Kingdom of God, and faith clinic. A special workshop was held for Bishops, Apostles, Overseers, DPs, and Pastors, and a remarkable graduation of 28 pastors from the AMFCC Mozambique was celebrated.
The conference concluded with a powerful closing service on Sunday, attended by more than two thousand people, including Police Officials. Bishop Misheck Nyambo ministered on the Kingdom of God in an extraordinary way, leading believers to give generously for talents. During the service, 11 people received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, while 24 testified of their deliverance. Truly, this was one of the most impactful and successful Pastors’ Conferences ever held in Mozambique, leaving the church strengthened and revived. The legacy of Apostle Ezekiel H.

A young man received instant healing in his leg, a young lady was delivered after prayer, and a girl watching from Cambodia, together with six onsite attendees, received the gift of the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Obedience sometimes seems as if you are stupid, yet obedience is the key to a better life. Romans 4:3 “Abraham believed God, and it accounted to him for righteousness.” Abraham obeyed God. He believed in the Lord, and He accounted to him as righteousness. To believe God is not to know everything, but it’s just to trust in God. It is like believing like a baby, even if you don’t understand how, believe God. Obedience is the highest level where God tests people…..God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
