Dear Friends, HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR FATHER!! What a blessed time we have been having in this month of prayer. Believers testified of a powerful time in the presence of the Lord this past weekend. God has indeed done some great things. SLOVAKIA The God of Ezekiel is faithful to his servant. He has given him the world as his heritage. A new baby has been born in Slovakia this weekend. Pastors Chris and Sesedzai met with 17 invited people for an Introductory Braai Fellowship at the park in Bratislava the capital city of Slovakia. We had some from Kenya, Ghana and the majority were Zimbabweans. Four ladies testified almost in tears that the church is coming here for them at the right time. Another one who has been a member of ZAOGA On Campus in Zimbabwe said she preferred that we meet on Sundays for real church services straight away. After the fellowship the pastors spoke to everyone of the attendees, getting to know them closer. Elders Knowledge and Yvonne Revesai who called for the church to come are helping with finding venues. The pastors will spend this week with appointments, ministering one on one to those who attended the Fellowship sharing more about personal salvation as well as acquainting them with the history of the church and the vision for Slovakia. There is great potential to build a sustainable work since the members are all stable working class establishing life in the country. May the saints pray for the individual meetings, procedures of church registration that we have started, finding suitable venue for Sunday services, all provisions needed and that the God of our Father lead us to those that must be saved.
HUNGARY Praise be to the God of our father. Prayers are consistently sustaining the work here. Our midweek Bible Study was physically attended by 8 members with others logged in from Poland and Austria. During fellowship time Pastor Chris had time to train the deacons and all present to be able to continue as good disciples of our father the Apostle Ezekiel Guti by reading the books he wrote and use them for teaching Bible Study in his absence. He encouraged them to win souls despite the long vacations.The weekend service was well attended by students by themselves since the pastors have left for Slovakia. It was a Prayer and Praise time. The Spirit of God moved and the joy over flowed. We thank the saints for continually praising God for providing those that must be saved.
ITALY We would like to thank the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti, who sent us wonderful Pastors to Italy all the way from Namibia, Overseers R and S Owoseb. We had our first service on Skype attended by 8 people, after a while without pastors. We are quite elated for such great favour thrust upon us as a nation. Our Pastors shared with us quite an inspiring and powerful message on the Kingdom of God. May you continuously intercede for us as we thrive in this journey of soul winning and the growth of our church.
USA Glory be to the God of Ezekiel for an anointed, power-packed and joy-filled, 2023 USA Leadership Deeper life Conference, held from June 22-25, 2023, at the FIFMI USA National Center in Arlington Texas and was also live streamed online.

Guiding the nation to a better understanding of the church and catching the vision given to our Father.

We had anointed speakers including Bishop Pat Schatzline, Pastor Mark Ballew, Overseer Dr. Francis Madzivadondo (New Zealand), Overseers Joram & Joylyn Rusere (Australia), Dr. Phil Mutsambiwa and other local speakers, teaching various subjects in the well-packaged sessions.

Dr. Steve wrapped up the conference with a powerful and anointed exhortation that brought a new revival and injected a fresh anointing into the church. There was a high level of impartation and movement of the Spirit of God. The spirit of our Father was indeed with us throughout the conference.

Construction work on the Sango Assembly tent finished on Friday as we continue to work towards a bigger shed to accommodate the growing work. At the Headquarters, the youth were the host of the Believers Prayer Convention. There was a mighty move of God on Saturday accompanied by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many youths received the Holy Spirit and some began to prophesy. Something glorious happened during this season as the Holy Spirit directed them to look at the banner with the photo of our father. Immediately they looked at our father, there was a baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of prophecy began to manifest to the extent that many could not withstand God’s presence. They were on the floor drunk in the Holy Spirit. One of the youths went home and throughout the night was filled with so much joy. Sunday service was organized and led by the youths. Bible study was led by a former Muslim; it was his first time ever standing before a group of people teaching the Word of God. The speaker, Favour Esene delivered a powerful message.

This week:
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“.
I am speaking to leaders. Some years ago the spirit of greed entered the church. Some people have caused people who are not born again to give their tithe. They give but they are not giving to God, they are giving to you and they complain about their tithe. Please do not take money from people who are not born again. You are there as a leader to keep the rules of Jerusalem…. God bless you |
