Dear Friends,

53RD INTERNATIONAL ELDERS DEEPERLIFE CONFERENCE

We give glory and praise to the God of Ezekiel for the 53rd one-of-a-kind International Elders Deeper-Life Conference held at the Ezekiel Guti Convention Center from the 7th to the 12th of April 2025. Harare Elders and International delegates from UAE, Bahrain, Malaysia, Germany, Canada, Australia, UK, USA, Mozambique, Chad, Malawi, Ghana, Egypt, Rwanda, Madagascar, Morocco, and South Africa, attended the Spirit-filled conference with 3800 delegates in attendance and 54 gadgets logged on the conference webinar.
The Conference started on a high note and had a peculiar panel of speakers which included the Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, the Presiding Bishop Dr. Joe Joseph Guti and Pastor Nyasha Miriam Guti, Archbishop Dr. M. and Dr. Petronela Simao from Mozambique, the Secretary-General Apostle Misheal and Rev Letricia Nyambo, the DSG Apostle Dr Steve and the International Women’s Director Dr La-Verne Simukai. God’s presence was in our midst and on Thursday night the Praise team ministered to the Lord and the glory of God was felt such that the speaker could not share. Indeed, it was God’s conference. Great deliverance and impartation took place.
The Conference was highly blessed as the Senior Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti attended each day of the Conference and shared powerfully on the importance of praying for our father the Presiding Bishop Dr Joe Joseph Guti, Apostle Mishael Nyambo, and Apostle Dr Steve Simukai who through the guidance of the founding father Archbishop Ezekiel H. Guti were assigned to lead the church of ZAOGA FIFMI.
The leaders were encouraged to pray fervently for these leaders as they used to pray for Baba Guti. Healing and deliverance also took place during the conference evidenced by testimonies of healing from the first day of the conference. Our father the Presiding Bishop then closed off the Conference encouraging leaders to follow in the footsteps of our father Baba Guti by being true disciples. He charged the leaders to go with the fire of God from the Conference. Leaders’ lives were transformed, and we believe the Word will bear fruit as the Elders’ lives will be the feedback of the great teachings that were given.

THAILAND

We are experiencing the never-ending love of God in our nation of Thailand. We had a week of prayer and fasting themed ‘Week of His Encounters’ from the 31st of March to the 4th of April. The whole church came together for morning prayers from 4 to 5 am and evening prayers from 8 to 9 pm. The church elders and pastors encouraged the church through the Word of God to close off each service. We saw the hand of God as many testified of God showing up in different ways during and after the week of prayer. One couple fell with their motorbike, but they were not harmed, and their bike was not broken. Another lady received gift groceries from her employers when she was not owed anything for the month and was secretly praying for a miracle. We thank God for these and many more encounters.
The FIF Thailand youth ministry organized a power-packed Easter conference from the 10th to the 13th of April 2025, during the Thai National Songkran holiday. Our guest speakers were Pastors Learnmore and Primrose Nyanzara whom God used amazingly to minister to our lives. They taught on messages including salvation (message of the cross), deliverance, and the Holy Spirit. Elder King Makonese also taught with much conviction about the church history. The youth ministry and couples had separate sessions with the speakers for ministry conferences. People travelled from provinces, as far as 12-hour drives, to attend the conference in Bangkok. Service attendance reached a record-breaking 46 onsite and 24 gadgets online. We had 5 visitors (4 onsite and 1 online), 3 were Holy Spirit baptized and 3 water baptized. One member of child evangelism testified of his awe of God’s love, having experienced near-death incidences growing up and now attending such a power-packed conference. We closed off the big Sunday with a national leadership council meeting. We are overjoyed by such love and favour. Glory be to God! Thank you for praying for us, as we pray for you.
