JUNE 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

We are thankful for this second week in the month of prayer & fasting. After a powerful weekend of Elders’ prayer conventions all over the ZAOGA FIFMI world, we are looking forward to God honoring the Deacons with His presence and life-changing experience.

GREATER HARARE ZONE 1 PASTORS PRAYER CONVENTION

Greater Harare Zone 1 Pastors’ Prayer Convention 2026 was held at AMFCC from 4 to 7 June 2026 and brought together 600 delegates, including student pastors. A major highlight was the ministry of our Father, Archbishop Joseph Guti, who emphasized the pillars of the Christian life: prayer, fasting, and the Word of God. He also taught on holiness, repentance, self-examination, spiritual cleansing, and maintaining a living relationship with God. Delegates were encouraged to remain faithful to God’s teachings and live lives that honour Him.

Our Mother, Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti, ministered on forgiveness and true repentance through confession and godly character. Her message inspired deep self-examination and repentance among the delegates. The convention also received ministry from Bishop Abel and Rev. Gladys Dube, and Overseers Rushwell and Doreen Mushore, who emphasized faithfulness to God, prayer, holiness, discipleship, godly leadership, and preserving the spiritual legacy of the ministry. Indeed, pastors left the convention with fresh fire, renewed passion, and a greater commitment to serve God faithfully. All the Glory to the God of Ezekiel!

AUSTRALIA

Pastors, Elders & Deacons Prayer Convention
We want to give thanks to the God of Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti for the great work and the new beginnings across the nation. Indeed, we have a “NEW AUSTRALIA. We are grateful to God for remembering the Nation of Australia at large and especially for sending our mum, the senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, who came with a very high profile delegation of 23 international speakers from various countries; including; USA, South Africa, New Zealand, Zimbabwe. The delegation included Reverend Leticia Nyambo, the International Go Quickly Director Dr La-Verne Simukai, Bishop Prisca Soko, Apostle Zenas & Dr. Cathy Marurama amongst others.

The local Pastors, Overseers, Bishops and the International team camped at the Ezekiel Guti Conference Centre in Sydney, New South Wales. The men and women prayed in separate rooms as per the instruction from our father, Archbishop Joseph Guti, This is where all the leaders experienced intense prayers, life transforming teachings and faith clinic.

After an extensive time of personal cleansing and working our lives, building peace and unity amongst the pastors and other leaders, our mum then began to teach us about how the enemy wants to rob us and has been robbing us as a nation by causing us to focus flesh and blood, yet the bible says in the book of Ephesians 6 vs. 12 that says “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

She also taught us about dealing and knowing the principality of the nation and knowing who the “enemy” is, other than fighting each other.

There was intense time of faith clinic as people poured their hearts wholeheartedly to God and poured out their hearts to each other as pastors, elders and deacons. We experienced the move of God on how He healed the leaders and the nation at large invoking a huge revival to take place in the leaders and the entire nation to the point where it was evident that God had rebirthed a “ NEW AUSTRALIA”.

The New Australia Nation Big Sunday had a Total Attendance of 964 people, 464 in person and 500 online.
We will never be the same again. Our zeal for God and love for each other has been revived. Our hunger for God and His work has been heightened and revived and we are truly grateful for the “NEW AUSTRALIA that God has ushered us into.

Attendance began on Friday night with 174 advisors, and by Sunday we concluded with 295 advisors, drawn from across the 38 Youth Zones in Zimbabwe. Truly, this was a seminar with a difference! We were blessed with a powerful panel of speakers, including Rev. J Gandawa, Dr. J Doyce, Bishop M&E Chikuse, and Bishop C Kapandura, who imparted wisdom and vision to the delegates.

On Saturday night, we had the great honour of having our Father Archbishop Dr. Joseph Guti speaking to the Advisors and emphasized that advisors must train the youths to pray, preach, fast, and value spiritual things, drawing from the scriptures in Ephesians 5:1, 2 Timothy 2:2, and Titus 1:16. His message stirred hearts and renewed commitment to raising a generation that treasures Spiritual things and perpetuate the Legacy.

The seminar left every advisor refreshed, empowered, and ready to implement what they received in their respective zones.

On 21 May 2026, we were blessed to receive short-term missionaries, District Pastors Edwin and Fortunate Sonono.

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”.

We are praying that among our churches, wherever you are, we expect people who are gifted but not only gifted but people whom God can use for His Kingdom. We are a Pentecostal church; we must prophesy, speak in tongues, and someone interprets. That’s the Pentecostal church. It doesn’t matter if you are not a leader; the gift is not only for a pastor but for every member of the church. You can just be a member, but you have the gift of knowledge or the gift of wisdom, and you tell your pastor that God has shown me this and that….TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
