Our Mom, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, encouraged the leadership to come to Deeper Life to be repaired, directed, corrected, and revived. She also taught on practicing self-control and loving one another. As she wrapped up her teaching, the auditorium was filled with the Spirit of God as people sang in love, “This is my commandment that you love one another.”
10 people were born again,12 were water baptized, and 22 were filled with the Holy Spirit. Great joy and jubilation filled our nation. The Deeper Life Conference transformed, inspired, equipped, and revived the leaders of Botswana.
We also held an AMFCC Part-Time Graduation Ceremony led by Dr. Johnson Mlambo. Twenty-two students were capped by our father, the Presiding Bishop, who encouraged them to remain rooted in the Word of God. He urged the students to emulate our father by walking in his footsteps as young Ezekiel’s. Our father prophetically blessed the nation of Botswana.

BULGARIA

Announcing the birth of a new FIFMI baby: Bulgaria Forward in Faith Ministries is Here!
The prophecy proclaimed by our father, Apostle EH Guti, regarding the flourishing of Forward in Faith Ministries, is coming to life before our eyes! On Sunday, May 25, 2025, we celebrated the inaugural service in Bulgaria, hosted at a university by a dynamic group of medical students led by Deacon Emmanuel Matuka, son of Elders in the UK.
This gathering followed an inspiring Bible study session earlier in the week, attended by 12 eager students. Come Sunday, 11 of them were present for the church’s grand inauguration, while an impressive 32 gadgets connected online from various European nations, including Sweden, Romania, Lithuania, the UK, Poland, Germany, and Austria. Our Schengen Overseers were even tuned in from Geneva, Switzerland!
Powerful testimonies flowed from triumphant FIFMI members from different nations who have excelled in both their faith journeys and academic pursuits. The Senior Pastor delivered an impactful message, encouraging the new congregation in Bulgaria to embrace righteousness and a genuine reverence for God as foundational principles for establishing His kingdom in their respective nations, even as students. Truly, the church is on the move, and we are excited for the journey ahead!

SWITZERLAND

Geneva – The church in the Schengen region is experiencing remarkable growth. We celebrated the official opening of the Geneva Assembly in Switzerland on 18 May 2025, a truly historic moment. Evangelists led by Senior Pastor Chris gathered from Germany and various cities in Switzerland, filling the streets with their testimonies and distributing flyers for the opening service. This moment was even more significant, as it took place by Lake Geneva, where our father, Archbishop EH Guti, once sat, read the Bible, and wrote inspired books.
On Sunday, 25 May, we welcomed 30 attendees in person and 46 participants online from different nations, coming together to support this divine mission. The joy of the Lord filled our hearts as we witnessed the strengthening of the church, with the Schengen Overseers remaining in the city, diligently establishing structures.
The Kingdom of God is indeed being established, and the theme “Revive, Fortify and Extend the territory” resonates powerfully, bringing glory to the God of Ezekiel.

UNITED KINGDOM

SADOP (Sons and Daughter of Prophets)- We would like to thank the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for the successful and powerful conference that we had this past weekend, which was graced by Dr Dorcas Jaricha, Overseer Phil Austin, and Pst. Lisa Dongo. We were blessed to have the UK National Administrator, Apostle Oscar, and Overseer Cecilia Zezani as the speakers of the conference. They taught powerfully on preserving the legacy of our father Ezekiel as SADOPs through practising righteousness, reading the word, and developing a lifestyle of prayer.
Our UK National SADOP Pastor, Pastor Blessing Mutingwa, taught powerfully on the importance and benefits of knowing the God of our father. Other dynamic speakers taught on serving God, Kingdom Entrepreneurship, and other relevant topics. There was a huge turnout of SADOP from across the UK for the conference held at Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre (EGCC) in Birmingham.
It was also a great opportunity for SADOPs to reconnect and integrate with their peers. There was faith clinic, counselling, great healing, and deliverance. We also had interactive and empowerment workshops, touching various life-changing topics. Glory to God to our father, Ezekiel Guti. Saturday evening was a night of glitz and glamour accompanied by an exquisite dinner. This was truly a very special time of fellowship, interaction, and talent show. Indeed, Pastors’ children are gifted! What a power-packed conference it was. We give God all the glory.

Back to Basics Conferences – We want to thank the God of our Father, Ezekiel, for granting us the grace to host Back to Basics Conferences in our various Provinces in the United Kingdom. The services were done at the Assembly level to the Regional level, and some hosted their services on Zoom and then went on to do physical services on Sunday. The attendees included elders, deacons, lay leaders, and saints, all keen on exploring foundational aspects of their Christian Walk, and attendance ranged from 100-180 in most provinces. Various speakers were sent out to different provinces, and they covered all topics.
After these powerful teachings, 5 people got baptised in Wales and the Bristol Region. Practical teachings on talents and giving moved people as they were taught on the principles of giving the right way. As a nation, we are seeing the benefits of these teachings as we saw a number of people partnering with God as we launched Missions and the whole nation is excited to be working and partnering with God throughout the month of June and July.
The Back-to-Basics Conference has successfully reignited the passion for foundational Christian values across the nation. The effective delivery of powerful messages will foster significant spiritual growth and strengthen our nation as we continue with the Legacy of our Father, the Bond Servant of God, Ezekiel Guti. All Glory to the God of Ezekiel, who has taken us Back to Basics.

ALGERIA

We thank the God of Ezekiel Guti for His grace and love, as weekly services continue to be attended successfully. Due to the busy exam period, we have not been able to arrange physical meetings, which has led to a reduction in attendance per service.
On Friday, the 30th of May, 16 participants logged in for the online service. A timely message was shared on prayer. Quoting “The prayer of a righteous man,” the church was encouraged to have faith and engage in prayer throughout the entire month, as the month of June is a Spiritual Month. Further encouragement on prayer was given through several scriptures. People were blessed by the message. Glory be to God! Continue praying for us.

GUYANA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for yet another blessed week. Our weekly services continue successfully. The church was taught the importance of prayer in June, using the book “The Prayer of a Righteous Man Avails”, and “Guidance, and the Example of a Praying church”. We were encouraged to seek guidance through prayer and set aside personal time to pray. We sincerely thank you for your continued prayers and support towards the construction of our church building. May God continue to bless you abundantly.

SOUTH KOREA

We are still basking in the glow of a truly special time, celebrating the presence of our wonderful pastors. The Girls’ ministry had the privilege of Pastor Tsitsi gracing their Tuesday prayer meeting, where she powerfully taught on prayer, emphasizing its role as the backbone of the ministry. She also highlighted the importance of reading the Word and working talents.
Our pastors also had the opportunity to tour Paju City and Seoul, immersing themselves in the Korean communities. On Friday, the church came together for a physical half-night of prayer, with some members joining online. Saturday saw the church attending another soccer tournament in Pyeongtaek’s where dedicated one-on-one evangelism took place.
Sunday was equally inspiring; we had both online and offline audiences. Pastor Tsitsi led a fantastic bible study, followed by a powerful sermon from Pastor Farai. Two sick individuals received prayer, and a heartfelt blessing was released over all congregants. After the service, our pastors dedicated time to one-on-one sessions with every member present, offering personal prayer.
We are immensely grateful for this visitation. We are hopeful that we will soon register our church and establish our own place of worship. We continuously call the church to intercede for us. We give thanks to the God of our father for FIF Ministries International, South Korea.

During the Sunday online service, Elder Ronald preached on the foundation of prayer, charging the church to seek God like never before. Following right after was Deacon Tinotenda, who shared on how to pray fervently. In St Petersburg, our Deacon Elijah encouraged the church to stay in the Word of God.

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.
