Dear Friends,

HARARE NORTH PROVINCE

We give all glory and honour to the God of Ezekiel for the extraordinary Easter Conference held across the province from the 17th to the 20th of April 2025. This gathering was a powerful time of teaching, worship, and spiritual transformation as we celebrated the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Conference was particularly blessed by the presence of our Senior Archbishop, Professor Eunor Guti, who was the guest for the province.
The Senior Archbishop began her conference tour on Friday at Crow Hill region and continued to Charlotte Brook. In both regions, her message was centred on the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, which she described as the foundation of our faith and the source of our victory as believers.
The conference climaxed on Sunday at the Harare North Local Mother Church, where she was welcomed with overwhelming joy and excitement. Many people from the rest of the province gathered at the Local Mother Church to join the service, and the building was packed to capacity. In her message, our mum shared her personal testimony of how the blood of Jesus transformed her life, emphasizing its power to redeem, heal, and set us free. She also spoke about the resurrection of Jesus, reminding the church of the living hope we have because of His victory over death. She encouraged everyone to embrace the power of the resurrection in their daily lives, declaring that His resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith.
The Senior Archbishop concluded her message with a call to action, urging the church to prioritize soul-winning. She emphasized that reaching sinners with the message of salvation is one of the greatest callings of every believer.

63 new converts gave their lives to Christ, and many testified of healing and deliverance that took place in their lives. Notable miracles include:

A lady who could not walk without crutches was healed
3 girls were delivered from marine spirits
A boy was delivered from the spirit of Satanism
A mother was delivered from the shoulder pains
A lady was delivered from a heavy burden on her shoulders after she was prayed for, and she confirmed that she felt the removal of the overlying burden
A girl was delivered from the stomach and had headaches.

As Harare North Province, we are profoundly grateful to the God of Ezekiel for the visit of our mum, the Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, whose presence and teachings marked a turning point in our Province.

ZAMBIA

What a glorious Easter Big Sunday it was at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre! The atmosphere was electric with faith and joy as ZAOGA Zambia gathered together. Attended by members and leaders from all parts of the nation. Over 2000 filled the venue with an overflow into the side rooms. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the special visit from our father, the Presiding Bishop of ZAOGA FIFMI, Dr Joseph Joe Guti. His powerful message centred on the life-transforming power of our Lord Jesus Christ’s resurrection, and his words resonated deeply within the hearts of all who were present. His presence alone was a tremendous blessing, and his emphasis on love, unity, and the undeniable power of God served to further ignite the passion of the Zambian church. The ZAOGA FIFMI Zambia was so encouraged as he pronounced God’s blessing upon the nation. The Holy Spirit moved mightily, and we rejoice in the incredible news that 170 precious souls decided to give their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Testimonies of healing from various conditions further underscored the tangible presence and power of God in our midst. Our father also took time to encourage both leaders and members, urging us to continue steadfastly in our Church Bible Doctrine and trust in God and to perpetuate the godly legacy of our father, Apostle E.H. Guti. We were reminded that just as we received Jesus, we are to walk in Him, united in purpose and love. Indeed, the ZAOGA Zambia National Easter Big Sunday was a resounding success, a testament to God’s grace and the unwavering faith of His people. We give all the glory to the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for a truly memorable and impactful day! We also want to thank God for the Zambia Zonal Deeper Life Conferences to be held from 22 to 26th April, 2025, and 29 to 3rd May, 2025.

SCHENGEN : East Europe

We thank the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness in this season of celebrating the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Schengen region was highly favoured to host the DSG Apostle Dr Steve and Dr La-Verne Simukai (Director for Go Quickly and Tell Ministry International), during the Resurrection Conference, in Warsaw, Poland, together with the Overseers of the Schengen Region GTC & Sesie Mutsigwa, Youth Pastors Jerulah and Alina Muchiuro (Romania), and Pastor Ester Ziel (Netherlands).
The Resurrection Conference was physically attended by believers from many Eastern Europe countries, including Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and many believers from the different cities in Poland, with other nations such as Albania, Belgium, Belarus, Netherlands, Spain, Finland, Sweden and Slovakia joining online. Other nationalities were from Mozambique, Tanzania, and Namibia. Her Excellency, the Ambassador of Zimbabwe to Switzerland and the United Nations in Geneva, as well as the Diplomat Minister-Counsellor of Zimbabwe to Belarus, were also in attendance. The attendance rose from 73 physical and 52 online on Thursday evening to over 220 physical and 81 gadgets logged in online on the resurrection Sunday.
Our guest speakers took their time to powerfully teach and ground the church of God, emphasising the importance of preaching the gospel of the cross being the essence of our salvation. Considering the youthful nature of the church in the region and ongoing physical and numerical growth, Apostle Steve taught powerfully on the love of Jesus and encouraged the church to practice love, which ignited an atmosphere of splendid joy and people embracing each other, and final exhortation to understand the kingdom of God through reading the word of God and doing what we have been taught in the word of God. They were highly anointed in their ministering of the word of God, dealing with daily challenges of youth and general Christian life in the diaspora. The speakers displayed deep knowledge of the word of God and much experience working with all cultures around the globe.
Dr La-Verne Simukai taught on the importance of the blood of Jesus. On Saturday night, there was a massive move of the Holy Spirit, and 43 people were baptized in the Holy Spirit for the first time with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, while over 60 believers came for refilling and impartation of power. She was mightily used to bring a unique manifestation and overflow of the Holy Spirit, that the organisers failed to control and stop. This continued into the night with members continuing in their hotel rooms. One person watching virtually got baptised by the Holy Spirit as she watched from home. The people were spiritually revived by the presence of the fire of God, and many were delivered from various infirmities.
The God of Ezekiel manifested His faithfulness as over 10 people from other nations and churches decided to make Forward in Faith their Spiritual home, and 6 people were water baptised. The Schengen region will never be the same again after such an encounter. Glory of the God of Ezekiel, who keeps His covenant with His people forever.

UNITED KINGDOM

Leicester Region – We want to thank the God of our father, Ezekiel, for a powerful Easter Convention led by the Youth Ministry. The presence of God was tangible from the beginning on Thursday to the end, Sunday, and it’s clear that something significant happened in the hearts of our young people. We saw the youth and adults gathering for worship, teachings, and a fresh encounter with Jesus. Many made first-time commitments to Christ, while others experienced deep moments of healing, restoration and received the gift of speaking in tongues. The altar was full each night, with young people surrendering to the call of the God of Ezekiel on their lives.
The theme “Risen King, Living Saviour,” reminds us that Jesus conquered death and is still moving in power today. We were blessed to have Pastors Bee and Cleo Mutingwa, who taught us many teachings that had a big impact on our lives. Part of the teaching was being filled with the Holy Spirit, and we saw 18 young people being filled with the evidence of speaking in tongues. 1 person gave their life to God.

A life-changing sermon followed, delivered by Elder Steve, who spoke on having a Kingdom mindset. He reminded us that to occupy positions of influence, we must be prepared and positioned for them. As Kingdom citizens, God desires that we thrive and enjoy His blessings now, not just in the life to come, but also in the present.
Apostle Tigere delivered a powerful sermon on the significance of the Cross and the meaning of Easter, and why we, as Forward in Faith, celebrate Easter as we were taught by our Father, E.H. Guti. He began by explaining what the Cross represents and continued with the redemptive work Christ accomplished through it. We were blessed by the sermon, and the sick were prayed for online and testified of their healing. Hallelujah!
Please continue to pray for our spiritual growth here in Algeria.

In the evening, the youth held the official opening of the conference. The CE children presented a powerful drama depicting how Jesus was denied and crucified. This was followed by a Holy Spirit session, during which 11 people were filled. On Sunday, the youths presented various items and shared a testimony reviewing the entire conference.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

The blessing of the Lord makes one rich. When I say I am a blessed man, they think it’s money, then I say it’s not money. Money is not a blessing all the time. Sometimes money can give you big problems. Money comes and goes, but the blessing stays in your life. When you have a lot of money, know that people will deceive you; they come to borrow and don’t give you back. When you ask for your money back, they become your enemy. The blessing is in your blood. It makes things easy, not money, but the blessing makes things easy. Anything you do is easy, you don’t struggle…..God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
