Dear Friends,

HAPPY 65TH ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!!

NAMIBIA NATIONAL DEEPERLIFE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 4TH EDITION

We give glory and honour to the God of our Father, Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti. From the 21st to 24th of May, over 400 leaders from all five provinces of FIFMI Namibia gathered to attend the Leadership Deeper Life conference, followed by a powerful National Big Sunday on the 25th of May.
The conference took place at the Namcol Yatuyama Centre in Windhoek and was graced by our father, the Presiding Bishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti and our mother, Pastor Nyasha Guti. They were accompanied by a team of speakers: Overseers Machuwaire and Overseers Kahwemba from Zimbabwe, Overseer Eseene from Nigeria, and Elder Fungai Mukaratirwa from South Africa. The Leadership Conference transformed, equipped, and revived the FIF Namibia leadership, who were also taught to live a blameless life – Fear not sin not. Our Father and Mother led the leaders to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and the fire of God, breaking the spirit of heaviness and releasing an atmosphere filled with the power and tangible presence of the Holy Spirit, followed by miracles. As our father and mother ministered power-packed messages, the God of Ezekiel released the spirit of joy in the auditorium, and our father prophesied that a new FIF Namibia had been born.
A total of 14 leaders were filled with the Holy Ghost, and 3 people were water baptized. Our father declared a restoration of marriages, unity of leaders, a new Namibia, and he also released financial breakthroughs, visa permits, the purchase of new church properties, and stands in the Nation of Namibia.
On Saturday afternoon, the conference witnessed the 3rd AMFCC part-time Namibia Graduation Ceremony, which was officiated by The Presiding Bishop, Dr Joseph Joe Guti, together with the AMFCC part-time International Director, Dr Johnson Mlambo. 23 students from the 5 provinces and 2 students from other denominations in Namibia were conferred with their Diploma in Theology by our father. The Presiding Bishop further encouraged the AMFCC graduates to be young Ezekiels, who follow the footsteps and example of our Father, Professor Ezekiel H Guti, the same way that he followed Christ.
Sunday was the NAM FIFMI National Big Sunday, which was attended by over 700 leaders and believers. Our father delivered a powerful message warning believers not to abandon the pattern of the church but to hold on to the pattern and the God of Ezekiel without compromise as a believer. A total of 99 souls, both new and rededications, gave their lives to the lord. Many sick and afflicted were healed and delivered. Surely, Namibia shall never be the same again.
After the Deeper Life on Sunday, the Presiding Bishop did a Jericho march on a piece of land the Southern Province wants to buy for their Provincial Centre. Presiding Bishop also had time to Fellowship and teach the new National Finance Committee, all pastors, and executive members. All have testified of feeling loved and recognised. Indeed, THE LEGACY LIVES ON.

SOUTH KOREA

What an incredible week for Forward in Faith International Ministries South Korea! We’ve made history by having our first physical church service, and the excitement has been overwhelming. We were overjoyed to welcome our beloved Pastors Tsitsi and Farai Kupamhama, and the church united in a beautiful display of reception.
Our first physical service was a powerful blend of spiritual nourishment. We delved into Bible study, lifted our voices in praise and worship, shared impactful testimonies, and were blessed by the profound Word of God. The presence of both our in-person congregation and our online audience made this a truly memorable event, bringing much-needed revival to our members who had longed for this experience. Pastor Farai’s teaching on the hunger for God resonated deeply, inspiring us all to cultivate a fervent desire for Him, following the example of our father Baba Guti. We learned that true satisfaction comes from a deep spiritual longing.
Beyond the church walls, our pastors extended their outreach by joining the Zimbabwean community at Ajou University for friendly soccer matches. This created a valuable platform for them to connect with and witness to different individuals in a relaxed setting. We are immensely grateful to the missions office for their vision and for sending such remarkable pastors to this land. Please continue to pray with us for the supernatural expansion of our church as we grow in South Korea.

NEVIS

We give glory to God for the opportunity to serve and share His love with our community during our outreach event held on Saturday, May 24th, in the heart of Charlestown. It was a powerful time of giving and connection as we provided meals to those in need and fellowshipped through song, dance, and the joyful presence of the Holy Spirit. The atmosphere was filled with warmth, worship, and the love of Christ as we reached out with open hands and hearts. Sunday’s service was a time of refreshing and reconnection as we welcomed back members who haven’t been with us in a while. What a joy it was to see familiar faces return to the house of the Lord! We were richly blessed by a power-packed Bible Study and a timely Word that stirred our spirits and aligned our hearts as we prepare for our upcoming month of prayer and fasting in June. Truly, the Lord is equipping us for greater things!
Let us continue to move forward in faith, united in love, prayer, and purpose as we pursue the vision God has given us. Stay blessed and encouraged, and do continue to join us in prayer as the hurricane season is upon us.

CUBA

We are grateful to God for a Sunday Service with the attendance of 63 people, including 7 young people and 5 children. The Word of God was taught by our Coordinating elder Dalgis, some brothers gave testimonies, and a young woman gave a special song for the Lord. Our pastor gave a powerful message of Healing and Liberation, then laid hands on people as liberation and healing took place for the glory of the Lord. 2 people received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, Ronaldo and Iris, and our Pastor imparted Holy Communion as every last Sunday of the month. Giving thanks to the God of our Father, Ezekiel Guti, for His Blessing and presence in our midst. We continue to teach and grow and take root in our Ministry according to the legacy left to us by our father Ezekiel Guti and the Biblical doctrine of our church, in Unity, Love, Prayer and a genuine fear of God, to become true disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our father the Apostle Ezekiel Guti.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Glory to God, who through our father, Apostle Dr. Ezekiel Guti, has made us partakers of the Legacy of Talents!
In 2023, Western Australia completed the purchase of 5,046m² of land through the working of Covenant Kingdom Talents. In 2025, this weekend marked the successful launch of our Provincial Centre Talents, beginning the journey to build our State Centre. We thank God for sending us the Administrators of Australia, Overseers Joram and Joylyn Rusere, as our guest speakers.
On Sunday, the launch reached its peak with 300 attendees and 43 Zoom connections for the formal launch of the WA Provincial Centre Talents. The Administrators reminded us that talents are not a man-made idea, but the wisdom of God. They encouraged us to allow the Holy Spirit to direct our efforts, especially as we are not building just any structure, but His tabernacle. And just as our father had a deep desire to see the dining hall built at AMFCC, we too must have a deep desire, and God will provide the resources. The teaching went further to remind us that talents are to be worked within the Kingdom of God. We were urged to walk in our inheritance.
Stirred by the Word, the church responded and gave cheerfully. One person gave their life to God, and there were testimonies of renewal of strength and a darkness lifting. We thank the God of our father, Ezekiel, for the Legacy of Talents — a legacy that is delivering us from the spirit of poverty and is empowering us to work with our hands.

GUYANA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness and for the many blessings He has poured upon us. The Go Quickly Ladies continue to gather faithfully for their Tuesday prayer meetings. During Friday’s service, Elder Wesley delivered a powerful message that stirred the hearts of the congregation and led us into a time of fervent prayer. Bible study, led by our pastor, continues to be a time of deep reflection and learning as we explore the history of our church through the History Book.
This was followed by a vibrant session of praise and worship that prepared our hearts to receive the Word. Elder Sherryann has also been faithfully sharing insights from the recent elders and deacons conferences. Using the History Book, she plays voice recordings and video clips to give us a glimpse into how our church first began. We thank you for your continued prayers and support as we trust God for the ongoing construction of our church building.

CAYMAN ISLANDS

We give God all the glory and praise for all He continues to do in the church and the Cayman Islands Community. Last Sunday, 18 May 2025, a delegation from Forward in Faith went to Minister at the All-Nations annual conference, and we are grateful to God for the opportunity. Weekly prayer meetings continued. During this week, we welcomed Pastor Tina, Caleb Jr and Natasha Mashushire to the Cayman Islands. On Sunday, 25 May, we had a powerful service. In attendance we had 61 people (44 adults and 17 children). Pastor Tina was the main speaker, and she taught powerfully on uprooting and planting, and we experienced an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We ask that you continue to pray for the Cayman Islands church, that God will open doors for the growth of the church. We continue to pray for the Forward in Faith International Leaders and for the leaders of the Cayman church that the Lord will continue to lead and give them wisdom. Thank you for the continued support and prayers. God bless you.

Belfast
The Go Quickly event was held successfully under the theme “A Day in the Life of a Student”. Participants dressed in creative interpretations of school uniforms, bringing both fun and nostalgia to the gathering. The event aimed to reflect on student life while addressing serious issues affecting young people and families today.
The group engaged in open conversations about the involvement and impact of women in issues such as bullying, rape, and teenage pregnancies. Participants shared personal experiences and insights into how these issues affect their families and communities. Ladies offered one another practical advice and emotional support, creating a safe space for healing, learning, and empowerment.
Overseer Christine Kurumidzai Sabvute presented alarming statistics on teenage pregnancy in the United Kingdom and emphasized the importance of open communication between parents and children. She urged parents to address sexual health topics directly and supportively. Dr Mabel Samasuwo shared expert insights on current issues affecting children today. Her address offered guidance on how to approach these challenges with wisdom, sensitivity, and strength as parents and guardians.
The event concluded with a school-themed dinner where the ladies enjoyed bonding, laughter, and fellowship. By combining a playful school theme with serious, solution-focused discussions, the event empowered women to become better equipped to support their families and communities. The openness and unity displayed by all attendees truly made it a day to remember.

THAILAND

We thank the God of our father, Prof E.H. Guti, for His never-ending mercies upon the church of Thailand and Cambodia. We are feeding from the word and growing spiritually under the guidance of Pastors Learnmore and Primrose Nyanzara, glory be to God. We had a powerful Kingdom Sunday that attracted 6 visitors, 4 ladies, and 2 gentlemen. We were encouraged greatly through testimonies of how God is at work amongst us:
One believer woke up one day with serious pain in his leg, causing him to limp. Our pastors spoke a word of healing, and he received instant healing.
Another believer was on the brink of pain medication addiction, and she was prayed for and has not craved the meds ever since.
2 CE members, a boy and a girl, thanked the God of Ezekiel for another birthday and the gift of family, respectively.
One sister in Cambodia is seeing the benefits of the obedience of tithing.
Pastor Learnmore Nyanzara preached about Jesus Christ the Healer from John 5 verses 1 to 9. He emphasized that God could heal everything, including what the traditional and medical healers gave up on. Many congregants, including visitors, came up for the altar call, some on behalf of family members in other nations, and God moved amazingly. 1 visitor, a Zimbabwean man who just relocated, rededicated his life to Christ at the end of the service. Hallelujah. Thank you for praying for us, as we continue to pray for you.
