AUSTRALIA

From May 30 to June 2, women and girls gathered at the Ezekiel Guti Conference Centre in Sydney, Australia, for the National Women’s Conference. Australia was blessed and highly favoured to have our international host and visionary, Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti attend along with Dr. La-Verne Simukai, International Director for Go Quickly & Tell, Pastor Fiona Arthurs (USA), Overseer Simbanegavi, and Pastor Mandimutsa (Zimbabwe). The international guest speakers were also accompanied by ten notable women from Zimbabwe, who attended the conference at their own expense.
Conference attendees came from all states and territories in Australia, as well as from Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands. Saturday had the highest attendance with 465 women present. On the national Big Sunday, there was a total of 1,451 people in attendance, 201 of whom were online via Zoom.

The word of God was taught with compassion with several testimonies shared on how the teachings were an answer to what some ladies had been yearning for leading up to the conference.
A key moment was when Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti, joined the praise and worship, briefly taught on the posture of worship and led the church into a time of deep worship which was followed by 8 women who shared a word they had received from the Holy Spirit.

6 people accepted the call to salvation , 15 were filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time and spoke in tongues and thereafter there was an outpouring and many were filled with the spirit of joy.
Some specific testimonies shared
Instant healing of stomach pain (7), shoulder pain (9), knee (1)and hip pain (15)
Faith clinic followed after the teaching on emotional healing, and in particular, a mother and daughter were reconciled having harboured unforgiveness towards each other
Many people were delivered from different kinds of bondages
A lady who returned to church after 8 years having left -on Saturday had an accident but walked out uninjured. She rededicated her life on Sunday.
At the National big Sunday, Senior Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti declared – I see a new ZAOGA FIFMI. Not because man has done it- but God has done it. Surely FIFMI Australasia has become new. We thank the God of our father, Apostle EH Guti for this life transforming conference.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Acts 16:4-5 “And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily”.
Scripture says there were commands from Jerusalem to tell people to keep the rules of the church. I’m here today to tell you to keep the command, the rules, the decrees from Jerusalem that every June is the month of prayer for all FIFMI everywhere.
V5 says the church grew because they were keeping the rules from Jerusalem. Wherever you are in Forward in Faith you need to know that June is the month of prayer. Everybody has to pray. Everybody who can fast and pray. Some of you don’t know that the devil spirits use the month of June too. This month is a month of fighting with evil spirits. That is why we are giving you the command from Jerusalem that June is the month of prayer…..TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,
Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
