Dear Friends, HAPPY 54TH ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI! This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. From humble beginnings under a gum tree on 12 May 1960, today we have reached 123 nations and states. Millions of lives have been touched by this powerful seed of ZAOGA FIFMI. While harvesting souls for the kingdom we have been able by God’s help, to build schools, a hospital, a university amongst other things in order to help the community and be relevant. A church that was identified as a crying church for poor people has now gone global with people prospering in their lives. We give praise to God for the obedience of Baba & Amai as they continue with the mandate that God has given them – to lead people to heaven. Anniversary celebrations took place all over the world and reports confirm that these were joyous occasions. Both old and new churches celebrated this past weekend. The reading of the book continues to strengthen members as we are reminded of where we came from and therefore enlightened on where we are going. Many people did the traditional march with lots of singing and joyful noises along the many streets of Zimbabwe, others had convoys of cars honking and music playing in trucks. Some preached the message of salvation and people got saved before the march took place. In other countries believers gathered and celebrated. Baba wanted to take of his small cars from home to give to ZEGU. God spoke to the Youth in Zimbabwe and they were able to buy that car for ZEGU. Praise the Lord for their obedience. Qatar We had a wonderful anniversary from Thursday today Friday, with almost 11 nations represented. There was joy in the church like in the beginning of the ministry. We had attendance of 75 people. We thank the God of our father for his grace. Belize We thank God for His grace in Belize. This year being our first anniversary we saw the hand of God. People were so zealous and joyful and the testimonies that were given were so touching. Surely the coming of Forward in Faith in Belize has changed a lot of lives. The saints took it upon themselves to decorate the church for the celebrations. During our conference the history of the church was emphasized and the book was read. 42 people were in attendance. God is a great God. Nebraska We joined the FIFMI world in celebrating the 54th anniversary. Friday night 10 adults and 4 children were in attendance. There was lots of joy as old songs were sung while others joined in. Powerful testimonies were given. The people were keen to hear the history of the church as the book was read. The presence of God filled the place. On Saturday 27 adults and over 15 children gathered for a bar-b-que (braai). One adult and 5 children gave their lives to the Lord. Sunday despite the heavy rains 18 adults and 10 children came to finish off the celebrations. Moving testimonies of how the coming of FIFMI to Nebraska has changed lives were given. Fellowship continued all afternoon into the evening. So much love was felt. Forward in Faith is the church of God for sure. Lives have been touched by this great seed. Praise the Lord.
