MAY 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY ARCHBISHOP EZEKIEL HANDINAWANGU DAY!

The month of May is here. Let’s take this time to acquaint or remind ourselves of where we are coming from and where we are going as ZAOGA FIFMI.

LEGACY EZEKIEL GUTI DAY

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, ZAOGA FIF hosted a historic double-event celebration honoring the life and impact of our father, the legendary Archbishop Prof. E.H. Guti, under the inspiring theme “Walking the Legacy, Living the Wellness.”

The day began at Grange Christian School with the Legacy Ezekiel Guti Day Walkathon, which drew a record-breaking crowd of over 3,000 participants. From 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, the atmosphere was filled with energy as attendees joined the commemorative walk, followed immediately by high-intensity aerobics sessions. The event was supported by a wide array of sponsors from the banking and service sectors and was graced by our parents, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and Mother Apostle Nyasha. A standout moment came when Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti actively participated in both the walk and the aerobics, embodying the strength and vitality of the ministry.

In the afternoon, the celebrations transitioned seamlessly to the Legacy Music Gospel Show and Awards, held at the Braeside Local Mother Church starting at 12:30 PM. This musical showcase broke previous records, featuring 100 acts and drawing an audience of over 6,000 people. The main auditorium remained packed to its 4,000-person capacity throughout the day, while thousands more followed the proceedings on outdoor screens. The stage featured a diverse line-up of well-known artists from within the church, including international performers such as Eliana Makombe from the United Kingdom and others from Mozambique. Powerful ministrations from the Baines Church, Marlborough Choir, and The GOQ Choir were highlights of the show, which concluded with a worship session led by Evangelist David Mabvuramiti.

Remarkably, the spirit of revival kept the auditorium full until 1:30 AM the following morning, making the entire day a profound spiritual experience and a vibrant testament that the God of Ezekiel is indeed a good God!!

CHITUNGWIZA

We give all glory to the God of our Father, Archbishop Ezekiel H. Guti, for a successful Chitungwiza Zone 12 Zonal Elders and Deacons Deeper Life Conference held from 27 April to 3 May 2026. Attendance improved from last year, reaching the highest number of 1,742 delegates. The conference was graced by our spiritual parents, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti, along with Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, Secretary General Bishop Mishael Nyambo, Rev. Leticia Nyambo, Dr. Winston Jaricha, and Dr. Dorcas Jaricha, plus a delegation of speakers.

The conference was marked by powerful teaching and revival. Apostle Prof. Eunor Guti ministered on forgiveness and the importance of Holy Spirit Baptism, including steps for leading a Holy Spirit session. On the final day, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti taught on defending the legacy and anointed the leadership for the task, followed by an impartation for different categories of leaders. Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti also taught on the Church’s Bible doctrine, pattern, and landmarks, while other speakers shared on the theme, preaching Moses, keeping landmarks, and the place of prayer.

We also celebrated the Ezekiel H. Guti Legacy on 2 May through a walkathon and aerobics, with about 300 participants, followed by a Legacy Gospel Musical Show at Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre. Guest musicians ministered with joy, and Evangelist Benhura shared on the power of the blood of Jesus, with 18 people prayed for. Glory and honor to God for a powerful and reviving experience.

QATAR

Forward in Faith Ministries International (FIFMI) Qatar is excited to share that we joined the rest of the FIFMI family worldwide in commemorating and celebrating the legacy of our father through a vibrant walkathon event. The gathering took place at Oxygen Park in Doha, with a total of 34 adults and 2 children in attendance. The event began promptly at 7:00 AM with opening remarks and a prayer led by our Pastor, Pastor Shylet Chijena.

The participants ran and had lively aerobics sessions led by Deacon Leeroy, Elder DK Mandindo, and Elder J. Zinyoro. The event concluded with a time of fellowship, refreshments, and light entertainment, and Pastor Edmore Chijena delivered the closing remarks. We thank everyone for their unity, participation, and joy, making this walkathon in Qatar a truly special commemoration.

GUYANA

The ladies gathered on Tuesday for a powerful time of prayer. On Friday, Pastor Fanuel taught about the legacy of our church, and on Saturday, many joined the walkathon, participated in aerobics, and enjoyed fellowship—truly showing that the legacy must live on.

On Sunday, Pastor Fanuel led Bible Study from the history book. We heard two powerful testimonies: one from a sister who had problems with her legs but was able to walk 3 km, and another who walked 10 km and received healing. The Word was ministered by Deacon Andra on keeping our father’s teachings, encouraging everyone to read and purchase his books, and emphasizing forgiveness. The service ended with prayer for the people and continued prayers for the completion of our church building.

CAYMAN ISLANDS

On Saturday, 2 May 2026, the Cayman Islands church joined the FIF global family in celebrating Ezekiel Guti Day. In the afternoon, the Go Quickly Ladies Ministry held High Tea with Pastor Tina, with 25 ladies in attendance, and it was a powerful time of teaching and fellowship. At the same time, Men of Integrity met for fellowship with Bishop Caleb.

On Sunday, 3 May 2026, the church had Big Sunday with 73 people in attendance, including 2 returning visitors. Two people rededicated their lives to Christ, and the Elders led communion. After the service, there was a water baptism, where one person was baptized, followed by church fellowship. We continue to pray for the Cayman Islands church to grow and make an impact in the community.

HARARE CENTRAL PROVINCE

The Harare Central Province Child Evangelism Ministry, under the leadership of Overseers Jerry and Grace Mazuruse, with Provincial Pastors Joshua and Enety Katsande, hosted an Intermediates’ Conference from 26 – 28 April at Oriel Boys High School. With the help of 11 teachers, the conference trained 39 children (ages 6–9) through teachings by the speakers and their provincial Pastors J & E Katsande.

Topics included Salvation, Deliverance, Prayer, Giving, Grooming, Discipleship, and continuing the legacy of E. H. Guti (citing 1 Corinthians 11:1–34). The children were also actively involved in games and activities such as horse riding and jumping castle, and it was encouraging to see them pray, sing, preach, do memory verses, and give joyfully. Many children received Jesus Christ, and the conference left everyone encouraged: the legacy continues.

BOTSWANA

We give all glory and honour to the God of our father, the Legendary Archbishop E. H. Guti, for a power-packed and life-transforming 15th and 1st Edition of the Zone One Leadership Conference (29 April–3 May 2026). His Grace and presence were evident throughout.

An average of 300 leaders gathered at Block 8 Church in Gaborone under the leadership of Bishop Timothy and Dr. Hildah Nchunga. We were highly blessed to have Bishop Sebenzile and Rev Sithabile Msiza, sent from the office of our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, together with other esteemed speakers, including Eva Kidwell, Pastor Patience Hapanamambo (South Gate, Harare), Eva Takalani, and Pastor Gofaone Maguvhe (S.A.).

Bishop S. Msiza taught on Guarding the Legacy, Rev. Sithabile Msiza on Prayer, and Pastor Gofaone on overcoming offenses through forgiveness. Six people gave their lives to Christ, eighteen received the Holy Spirit, and many were healed and delivered, including over 30 people delivered from bloodline curses and spiritual oppression. On Saturday, delegates joined a walkathon and aerobics celebrating Ezekiel Day, and on Sunday, there was full capacity and overflow, with over 1,206 attendees. The joy, peace, and unity of the Lord were clear throughout the conference.

Northwest Province Botswana
We want to thank the God of Ezekiel for the grace to participate in the walkathon. In all our regions, it was done with great joy as we exercised our bodies through song and dance. We also enjoyed relays and aerobics, and it was wonderful to see all age groups take part in the various activities. To God be the glory.

ZAMBIA

Praise the Lord! The Zambia FIFMI Zonal Deeper Life Conferences across Zones 3, 4, 5, and 6 were a clear indication that the legacy is being kept safe and kept alive. In Zone 3 (Greater Copperbelt, Luapula & Northwestern), the conference ran from 28 April –1 May 2026, with Big Sunday on 3 May, attended by over 165 leaders and over 520 people.

Truly, we give all glory to the God of our father, Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti.

NAMIBIA

We give glory to the God of Ezekiel for successfully holding the Namibia Zone 2 Deeper Life Conference at the Ondangwa Conference Centre from 29 April to 3 May 2026, led by Overseer Peter and Rose Natsa, with Pastors Valde and Lusia Kanime. Delegates from assemblies across Northern Province attended, and the conference was graced by Bishop Dr. Steve Simukai and Dr. La-Verne Simukai, together with Dr. F. Chitukutuku from Zimbabwe. Attendance grew from 40 on the first day to 214 on the last day.

The conference was marked by powerful teachings, preachings, and deliverance. Dr. La-Verne Simukai taught on offenses and forgiveness, leading to remarkable deliverance, while Dr. Steve Simukai ministered on topics including “What is the Church?” and living a godly life in the house of God. Other messages covered discipleship, faith, the fear of God, church doctrine, and the importance of the books written by our Father E. H. Guti. Two people gave their lives to God during the conference, and on Big Sunday, we received the Ambassador of Zimbabwe to Namibia with delegates; three people gave their lives to God, and holy communion was conducted with all participants. We give glory to God. Namibia Northern Province will never be the same again.

ALGERIA

Praise the God of Ezekiel for His impact on Algeria. On Monday, we met for Prayer. On Wednesday, we had a rich Bible study on “Maintaining Your Deliverance” led by Elder Lorraine Nyajeka. The 30-day Bible reading and devotion challenge is also ongoing.

On Friday, we experienced a blessed service with 20 people joining online. Elder Victor Nyajeka taught us about the History of ZAOGA, reminding us that we cannot speak of ZAOGA while leaving out the life of our Father Ezekiel Guti, focusing on Inheritance (the treasure our Father received from God) and Legacy (his life). We were encouraged to prosper in everything we do. Sin not. Fear not.

RUSSIA

The church in Russia is marching with the vision. There was great joy during the EH Guti Legacy Day as we celebrated the legacy of our father. About 45 members gathered across Moscow, St Petersburg, and UFA for team-building sports, aerobics, athletics, volleyball, and football, followed by fellowship. On Sunday, powerful teachings emphasized imitating our father’s legacy. In Moscow, 31 members received Elder Masaka’s message Fear Not Sin Not, urging holiness. In St Petersburg, Deacon Rutendo encouraged believers to be born again, baptized, and filled with the Holy Spirit, with 14 members attending and one new brother joining. Thank you for your prayers and support.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

1 Corinthians 4 vs 1 and 2 “Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.”
The bible is saying to us, servants of the Lord, as Stewards of the mysteries of God. l want you to know, you have to keep the mysteries of God. You must be a steward; a steward means someone who manages someone’s property.
Verse 2 “Moreover, it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”

It is required that one be found faithful. Be faithful. What l am talking about, you don’t need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, just listen. Verse 1 says we are the stewards of the mysteries of God. Verse 2 says that if you are a steward, you are required to be faithful. Be faithful. That is our teaching today, very, very simple: be faithful. Are you faithful, look around can the person sitting next to you keep my car keys? Do you trust them? Can l trust you? Can l show you where my money is and find it there tomorrow?….. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
