Dear Friends,  

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR FATHER!!

Glory to God. After a powerful and fruitful month of prayer and fasting we have begun the second half of the year.

SLOVAKIA 

The week under review started with the first Wednesday Bible Study that was attended by 8 people. After the powerful bible study Senior Pastor Chris recorded and posted a prayer in the group for all members including those that failed to attend. This prayer got an overwhelming response from all group members. During the week in a meeting with lawyers they gave the procedures on registering the church in Slovakia and this week will see execution of the procedures. Friday was a 1 hour prayer band which was fairly attended. Our pastors taught the church on prayer and the church prayed for an hour. Thanking the God of Ezekiel for the first Sunday Service in Slovakia. Since we are still looking for a venue to hold our church services, our first Sunday service was held in the local city park called Kuchajda. The saints heeded the call and there was an attendance of 8 women and 2 men. Our Pastors Chris and Sessy went ahead and gave a background of Forward in Faith Ministry and its mandate through our visionary Archbishop Ezekiel Guti. One of the members had to say ,”this is surely our own Bindura” as we attended church under a gumtree. We trust in the God of Baba to continue doing miracles.

CAMBODIA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for His goodness we are experiencing in Cambodia. One soul has been added to the family after receiving powerful teachings from pastors Learnmore and Primrose Nyanzara which convinced him to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. Monday and Friday prayer meetings were conducted successfully. Attendance during mid-week services was within the range of 9 to 10 believers. Cambodia held a Sunday service on its own on the 2nd of July and the Spirit of the Lord moved powerfully throughout the service. Pastor Learnmore Nyanzara delivered a life changing message on the power of obedience in the Kingdom of God using the book Hidden Treasures. Outstanding testimonies were shared. We thank God for overwhelming participation in June prayer and fasting. We request that you continue praying for us so that the church may grow in our nation.

PAKISTAN

We thank the God of our father who has allowed us to have Believer’s Convention in June. We had powerful services under the mighty visitation of the Holy Spirit. On the first and second day we had 15 to 30 people and on Sunday we had 60 including children. Some of the Testimonies in our nation: 

• Two ladies confessed that this convention was for them, one of them who was sick for one year received her healing instantly.
• One lady who wanted a baby boy was prayed for and received a boy after 5 girls and was so glad. Another came to be prayed for a baby after three miscarriages and now testified 7 months pregnant.
• 5 Souls came to Christ and 15 rededicated their lives.
• One girl’s thumb was not able to move and was stuck but after prayer she can move her hand .

God allowed us to visit and have a one day crusade to people of a different faith, last week we received testimonies from them. Those who were not getting married now have wedding plans. Many received their healing and breakthroughs. Marriages are restored. They want us to come again. God sent a boy for playing instruments properly and his father who had back pain is now completely healed. An urgent prayer request is that we are facing some situations here in our city and all over Pakistan, persecution for being Christians, we are asking for prayer for protection for the churches and for the pastors and saints. May the God of our father Ezekiel give us grace and wisdom to know how to handle the situation. Thank you for your continue prayers for Pakistan.

ITALY

We would like to thank the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti.  We had our service with an attendance of 10 people where we had a wonderful time in the presence of the Lord. We give glory to Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour for His mighty hand that we are continuing to see in the nation of Italy. We thank you all for your prayers, continue praying for us and also that more souls will come to Christ.

MOROCCO

Casablanca – We thank the God of our Father Apostle E.H. for His great faithfulness to the church in Morocco. This week we were overjoyed to receive pastor TK from New Zealand and pastor Joseph Dhlakama who were sent to us as short-term missionaries. The Sunday service was attended  by 25 adults and 1 child. Pastor Joseph ministered powerfully on the power of the Word of God.

Marrakech – This Sunday we had an attendance of 20 adults and 8 children. We had a wonderful service, and the church was greatly encouraged by a message on the power of the mind shared by pastor TK.  Our in-person and online bible study groups continued to meet. We also thank God that the children’s church is growing in attendance and programs.

CHAD

We give thanks and glory to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti for the just ended Month of Prayer June. We would like to thank God also for providing us with suitable and spacious places of Worship and house to stay, in a more expanding location, six kilometers away from the former place. We miraculously secured this place, the last day of the two weeks we were given as notice to vacate the Moslem owned place. We thank God again for numerically adding our membership. An outstanding Miracle; God healed a young girl who was diagnosed and was on TB medication. As she was taking her medication, the chest pains increased and the scan told that her chest was full of water mixed with blood which needs to be drained. She was prayed for by our pastors. When she went for draining it was discovered that there was a great change and the draining was canceled. She is now totally healed and ready to go back to school. Pray for the peace of our nation for God to end civil wars forever. People are full of fear of floods as we are in the rainy season since last year property and houses were carried away and over a million people were displaced and left destitute. Thank for praying for us.

CAMEROON 

Douala – We are praising God for increasing us daily and believers personal growth. We now have 35 FIF believers, and they have started to participate in the church activities. Our mid-week services continued. 38 people attended Sunday service; 23 adults, 15 children. 9 were visitors and 4 people gave their lives to Christ. Pastor C Muhana preached a powerful message. We are believing God for a bigger place of worship and the starting of a children’s church. 

Ebolowa – Glory to the God of our father. We thank the Lord for a blessed week. Our midweek services continued and had a powerful Sunday. 27 people (18 Adults and 9 Children, 3 were visitors) attended the service. Two powerful testimonies were shared on how the God of our father is working in the lives of the believers. The word was shared by our resident Pastor. We thank the Lord for a permanent place of worship which will enable us to have other church activities so that our believes can be grounded. We need your prayers for the registration of the church in Cameroon.

NIGERIA

We thank the God of our father for continuing to move with us in a phenomenal dimension here in Nigeria. Our weekly activities went on well, with a powerful Friday all night at all the centres. Sango Assembly had their Friday prayer in the evening due to the ongoing work at their center which is not yet conducive for all-night prayer. Sunday service was glorious in all our Assemblies. At the HQ centre, overseer Helen Esene was the speaker and attendance was 46 person’s while at konifewo Assembly Overseer Henry Esene was the speaker. 5 new elders and 5 deacons were ordained. After the message, those who were not filled with the Holy Spirit were invited for the Holy Spirit session and 6 of then received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues including a first-time visitor. Those who were not yet baptised in water were invited for water baptism and 5 came forward. Attendance was 55 persons. We had 18 people in attendance at Sango Assembly. We specially need your prayers for Sango Assembly: it used to be about 90 people few years ago however, due to venue challenges, attendance dropped. Now that we have surmounted the venue challenge we are working to restore this assembly beyond what it used to be. We also need your prayers for the Lekki Assembly venue, for God to give us a venue within our budget. We are also believing God for a breakthrough in Abuja Assembly. Thank you so much for continuing to pray for Nigeria.

SEYCHELLES

We thank the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti that our church registration has been finally approved by the President’s office, we are so excited that Forward In Faith Ministries (Seychelles) is now registered and we give glory to God! We have obtained a good and affordable venue for our services at one of the local schools and we thank God that we have managed to hold our first service at our new venue this past Sunday. Addressing a total of 10 attendants this past Sunday, our Pastors shared on the oneness of the church with the main focus being the vision of the chain of multiplication, and then powerfully encouraged us to meditate on the Word of God. We are believing this true seed of FIFMI will continue to grow and affect Seychelles in a mighty way. Given the surroundings of our venue, we urgently need a good set of instruments; we now have a keyboardist and we are believing God for provision of the PA system at the earliest. Thank you for praying for us.

CANADA 

Glory be to the God of our Father Ezekiel for an anointed, power-packed and joy-filled, FIF Church, British Columbia Canada’s first Believers Convention held from June 29 to July 2, 2023. We thank the Visionaries; Archbishops Ezekiel and Eunor Guti for sending us the Deputy Secretary General Apostle Dr. Steve & Dr. La-Verne Simukai who delivered a full package of ministration, with powerful teachings and demonstration of the power of God, as well as wisdom shared by Apostle Dr Steve.

The Speakers, who included Bishop Pat Schatzline, Overseers Joram & Joylyn Rusere (Australia), Evangelist Dr. Phil and Pastor Judith Mutsambiwa (Australia) and some youth speakers, demonstrated resilience and perseverance in the face of obstacles such as airline delays, cancellations and lost luggage faced on the way to Canada to allow God to use them mightily to deliver powerful and life changing teachings designed to equip the BC church to be true disciples who are rooted and grounded in church doctrine. Indeed, they were all powerful conduits of God’s Word and were used mightily to impart spiritual gifts and minister healing and deliverance. We were amazed by God’s power as people were healed of back pain, migraines, excruciating pain in the legs while others were delivered from demonic oppression, bitterness and unforgiveness.

We received with joy teachings on unity, forgiveness, loving one another unconditionally, practical tools for witnessing of Jesus Christ in our localities in British Columbia. 

Sunday service had an attendance of 108 people including children. Dr. La-Verne ministered to the church in worship and people were miraculously healed. The banquet manager for the hotel where the Convention was held attended the Sunday service and decided to become part of FIFMI. Another individual who was attending our services for the first time declared “I have been to churches but this one is something else”. Someone else rededicated their life to the Lord and is already looking forward to the next church service. Glory to God. Dr. Steve wrapped up the conference with a powerful and anointed exhortation. There was a movement of the Spirit of God and great impartation. The spirit of our Father was present throughout the Convention.

We would also like to express gratitude to our Father and our Mother who allowed the FIFMI BC church to organize such a successful Believers’ Convention and for sending us Missionaries Apostle Thaddaeus & Pastor Joy Mike who have grounded us in the Word of God, provided leadership and Departmental training and were instrumental in the success of the Believers’ Convention in the three months they have been with us.

   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“.

Why do you listen to people who are not born again complaining about tithe? They intimidate you and you begin to join them yet you are a leader. Some people are suffering from the spirit of greed. They are not worshiping God, they are worshiping money. They pray but they are not pleasing God because they look for money only. The secret in this church is that the money is in the Spirit not in the flesh.…. God bless you

We love you and are praying for you,

Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
