Dear Friends,

HAPPY 65TH ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!!

We are thankful for the grace God has given us for the month of June, as we took time to pray and fast. Indeed, it has been life-changing in many ways. We should not put our “tools” down. Let’s keep what we gained and continue to seek God even on our own. All the glory belongs to the God of Ezekiel, who gave us victory and set us free in many areas of our lives.

USA

Arlington, TX – What a powerful and special Sunday service we had at Arlington Happy Church, USA! We were honoured to host our Mom, the Senior Archbishop, Professor Eunor Guti, along with her esteemed delegation. We had an attendance of 154 in person, going up to 297 people, with the online audience. The sanctuary was filled with expectation, and the presence of God did not disappoint.

Archbishop Eunor delivered a life-changing message on the Kingdom of God, sharing profound testimonies and teachings on the Kingdom of God and what she learned over the years from our father, Prof EH Guti. She boldly addressed the need for liberation from the spirit that dominates people in America, specifically, the spirit of credit cards and debt. The message struck deep, and many experienced genuine deliverance and breakthrough.
The atmosphere was electric – joy filled the house, and there was dancing and celebration as people rejoiced in their newfound freedom. Even after the service, the fellowship continued as hearts remained stirred and encouraged.
We give all glory to God for such a transformative gathering, and we thank God for our Mom, whose leadership continues to guide us into divine encounters in the Kingdom of God.

REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN

We are grateful to God for allowing us to gather for the Prayer Convention in South Sudan, from Friday, 27th to Sunday, 29th June. Instead of the bible study on Sunday morning, the church dedicated its time to a session of fervent prayer. We had a powerful service where Pastor Theory Maduche taught the Word of God, titled “Know Your Church.” He emphasized the significance of understanding the Three Stones in the context of Guidance, Rules, and Policy for new believers in FIFMI.
Total attendance was 96, comprising 66 children and 30 adults. This is the highest attendance ever to be recorded this year as we witness more souls coming to the Lord. 5 new believers received Christ today. The establishment of the Children’s Church began in earnest, and we are beginning to see the fruits of the teachings.
We continue to pray for sustained peace and provisions in the nation of South Sudan, given that a significant part of the population is facing hunger.

INDIA

Andhra Pradesh – We had a powerful prayer convention with pastors Joseph and Tendai Mabikwa. The three-day conference, held from Friday to Sunday, witnessed a growth in attendance, starting with 39 on the first day and culminating in 68 by the final day, including 6 online participants. Each day was characterized by powerful, Spirit-led services with teachings covering the nature of the Kingdom of God, the role and benefits of the Holy Spirit, the significance of water baptism, and the profound concept of salvation through Christ.

The convention included sessions for devotion, praise and worship, and powerful prayer and deliverance. Many people experienced miracles and wonders. On Friday, many were delivered. On Saturday, we had a special session on the Holy Spirit, and many were filled with the Holy Spirit. Glory be to God. It was a powerful prayer convention indeed. Glory be to the God of our father Ezekiel.

Gujarat – We give all glory to the God of our Father for His continued faithfulness in our province. We are deeply grateful to the Missions Department for deploying Pastors Peter and Josephine Kuseni to serve with us. Their arrival brought great joy, as the church felt a renewed sense of parental love and spiritual covering. Since their arrival, Vadodara City Church (VCC) has seen a noticeable increase in attendance. Under their leadership, we successfully held our Believers’ Prayer Convention, where the power of God was truly evident.

We had powerful, anointed Spirit-filled forerunners who prepared the atmosphere before our Pastors preached a life-changing message titled “Discover to Recover: Dealing with the Spirit of Limitation”, followed by intense personal deliverance prayers. A powerful testimony followed from a sister who was instantly healed from pancreatitis during this session; since then, she has eaten freely and remains completely pain-free.

Rajkot Assembly also held its Believers’ Prayer Convention, beginning with online meetings on Friday and Saturday, attended by 13 believers. On Saturday, Pastor Kuseni encouraged the saints with a timely word on prayer, followed by a time of corporate intercession. We had life life-transforming in-person Sunday gathering which left the believers charged. We ended in powerful united prayer, and the presence of God was evident throughout. We continue to witness the grace of the God of Ezekiel H. Guti and ask for your continued prayers as we labour for the vision in Gujarat.

NEVIS

As we near the end of our June prayer and fasting season, we give God all the glory for His unwavering faithfulness and the mighty move of His Spirit among us. It has been a powerful time of consecration, growth, and spiritual awakening! This past weekend, we were especially blessed to welcome visitors from Jamaica who came to worship with us, as well as returning friends who joined us once again.

We were reminded of the power of corporate prayer and our call to be faithful stewards in the Body of Christ. Truly, when we come together in one accord, God moves mightily in our midst. The service was filled with touching testimonies reflecting on the goodness of the God of Ezekiel, a powerful praise and worship session, and the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit. Following the service, we enjoyed a fundraising luncheon to support the work of the church; thank you to all who contributed, participated, and gave generously. The day ended on a joyful note with fun fellowship in celebration of our beloved pastor, Dr Robert Chirima’s birthday.

Let us continue pressing forward in prayer, faith, and unity. As we transition into a new month, may we carry this fire and commitment into every aspect of our lives. Continue to intercede for divine protection throughout this hurricane season. To God be all the glory!

MADAGASCAR

We thank the God of our father, Ezekiel, for the grace to participate in international prayer conventions as the nation of Madagascar. We had highly anointed international speakers who spoke life-changing prophetic messages to the Leadership of our nation. The Overseers and National Administrators of Canada, Overseers Mupangeri, were greatly used by God to impart the spirit of prayer, teaching from the letter and the books written by our father. The Believers’ prayer convention was well attended as well, and our local Overseers, P and J Chipfakanya, were highly used by God as Pastor Mahatoky interpreted in the local language. Many believers were baptized in the Holy Spirit through a Zoom platform more than 1000 km away and spoke in other tongues. To God be glory, hallelujah!

We are joyfully celebrating in Madagascar for the incredible work of the God of Ezekiel! We have completed the purchase of 2000 m² of land for our church building. Although we don’t have a structure yet, it feels wonderful to be on our land for services. Interestingly, the seller realized after signing the agreement that she sold the land at half the current market price but was unable to reverse the transaction. What a miracle!! We extend our heartfelt thanks to our mom, Senior Archbishop Eunor Guti, for her commitment to this nation, and to our Father and Mother, Presiding Bishop Joseph Guti, together with Pst Nyasha, along with the Great Missions team, for their outstanding efforts. We are immensely grateful for your support and dedication. To God be the glory!

The re-registration process of the church was a success after serious challenges; however, the God of our father raised angels who assisted all the way through by the Spirit of God.
We are requesting prayers for God to enable us to start the building process on the land.

SOUTH KOREA

We’re overflowing with gratitude for God’s grace! The church in South Korea is concluding 30 days of fervent prayer and fasting today. Our month-long commitment has included daily daytime fasting and an hour of Zoom prayer each night.
Our elders and deacons held their powerful prayer conventions on Zoom, joining counterparts from Japan and China. We were blessed to have our pastors as speakers for these sessions. The male and female elders and deacons had separate sessions, creating special moments for repentance and emotional healing.

We particularly thank God for a wonderful believers’ prayer convention where members camped in Paju. We are incredibly grateful to a local individual who generously allowed us to use her premises for the convention and provided free accommodation. This provision has been a true blessing from the God of our father! These conventions have been marked by heartfelt outpourings, powerful testimonial preaching, vibrant praise and worship, deep intercession, and impactful messages from various speakers.

During the believers’ convention, one member, who had been burdened by difficulties in her studies, testified to feeling a remarkable lightness in her heart. We also celebrate with another member who received a job after two months of unemployment! We welcomed new visitors: a mother and her two children who joined us in prayer. We had Holy Communion on the last day of the prayer convention. Thank you to the entire church for praying for us!

GUYANA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for yet another blessed week. The Believers’ Prayer Convention began on Thursday and continued through Friday and Saturday. It was a time of deep intercession with powerful speakers. Powerful testimonies were shared, and a voice recording from our father, Presiding Bishop Joseph Guti, was played, which the church eagerly received. Following this, Elder Sherryann delivered a powerful message on the Kingdom of God, and we were further encouraged through insights from the Mission Book. The atmosphere was filled with celebration and rejoicing, marking the end of a month dedicated to prayer and fasting. We are truly witnessing a divine shift, as God continues to stir our hearts toward deeper prayer. Thank you for your continued prayers as we trust God for the construction of our church building.

EGYPT

We are thrilled and grateful to the God of our father Ezekiel for His divine favour in Egypt. The recent visit of short-term missionaries, Overseers Dr. Bright and Rejoyce Samundombe, brought immense joy and powerful messages of hope, love, and unity to our church. Alongside the FIFMI family globally, we successfully held a Believers’ Prayer Convention, with 24 attendees despite summer distractions, demonstrating our members’ faith and commitment. The missionaries also engaged with our church leadership, fostering excitement and clarity about our vision.
When faced with venue renovations that threatened to suspend services, God intervened miraculously, providing us with an alternative room just a week after transitioning to virtual services. This is a testament to His favor. We thank all the saints for their prayers, which are bearing fruit in Egypt, and we look forward to the positive impact of our missionaries on our church. May God continue to bless and guide us!

RUSSIA

We thank the God our father for reviving the church of Russia during the month of prayer and fasting. In obedience to the letter, we conducted prayer chains and conventions with many joining online in the morning and evening. The Elders and Deacons had a time of refreshing during their convention with our Pastors and Elders sharing the Word and conducting faith clinics. The exaltations came from many scriptures, including Isaiah 58 and Baba’s books.
We witnessed the power of God during the Believers’ convention as our guest speakers, Pastors Patler and Sharon Ndoga, flowed in the same spirit. They encouraged the church to have the spirit of prayer and giving and to desire true righteousness. We had good attendance with 28 gadgets logged in for this power-packed convention. There was an outpouring during the faith clinics, and we recorded testimonies, some of which relate to favour in business projects, revival, and academic excellence. As the Russian church, we commit to following the example of our father Apostle Professor Guti.

CAMEROON

Glory unto God, the God of our father, Apostle E.H. Guti, for His faithfulness in Cameroon. We thank the Lord for the month of prayer and fasting. This week, we joined the rest of Forward in Faith and held our believers’ prayer convention from Thursday to Sunday, which was preceded by the leaders’ prayer convention the previous week. There was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with three people being baptized by the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We experienced the presence of God as believers poured out their hearts following teachings from our pastors and a verse-by-verse reading of Isaiah 58 by each member.
There was a tangible presence of God during the praise and worship session, and believers saw visions. Two people received Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior this week. To accommodate the geographical dispersion of our members, we launched online Bible study groups, enabling believers to engage with Scripture despite physical distances. The initiative saw a remarkable turnout in its first week. We give glory to God as many continue to connect from across the country and outside the country for the morning prayer meetings.
We are praying for the registration of the church in Cameroon.

ALGERIA

Glory and honour to the God of Ezekiel Guti for His favour upon Algeria. From Wednesday to Friday, we had a powerful Believer’s Prayer Convention with our Elders, Elder Loraine and Victor Nyajeka as our guest speakers. We received powerful teachings referenced from our father’s books, “The Prayer of a Righteous Man, Two Ways of Knowing God, Understanding your Angel,” and others. The church was spiritually uplifted and empowered with knowledge, which deepened our faith. We were encouraged to continue praying for our nation, Algeria, standing in the gap with a clean heart for souls to come into the kingdom of God. We thank God for a life-changing prayer Convention.

PAKISTAN

We give glory to the God of our father that we are moving from glory to glory as people are receiving blessings. God gave pastor Babar the name of this Assembly, VALLEY OF BERACHAH. We had a powerful Believers’ Prayer Convention from 27 to the 29th of June, as the month of June is the month of prayer and fasting. People testified that this God is so powerful, He hears and answers prayer. The attendance rose from 20 to 51 people and 22 children on Sunday.
There was a mighty move of the Holy Spirit as Pastor Babar preached on the power of prayer. Two believers received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and one person accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour. Additionally, two women were delivered from demonic spirits. Glory to the God of Ezekiel! We concluded the service with Holy Communion, followed by a meal, fostering a spirit of unity among us.
We want to thank you for your prayers are making a huge difference in such country like Pakistan. Please help us continue to pray for divine protection and provision from above, as we are praying for a church building and the burden for more souls and faithful leaders in the church. Pakistan yararama.

MALAYSIA

We are grateful for the hand of the living God of our father Ezekiel that we continue to witness at work in our nation. For the entire month of June, we gathered three times every day for prayer in the morning, lunch hour, and in the evening. We have seen a growing hunger to seek God. All our Pastors, elders, and deacons attended their respective prayer conventions. Elder Solomon Sithole was our speaker in the three conventions where the fire of God was ignited. He taught on righteousness, prayer, giving, our church’s bible doctrine, and ministering to God. There was great deliverance and a mighty move of the Holy Spirit after the faith clinic sessions.
Testimonies are still coming in of how lives have been transformed by the teachings. On Sunday the 15th, there was a thick presence of God in the auditorium during worship time, and the speaker of the day could not minister. Those physically and emotionally unwell were prayed for, and deliverance took place. We thank God that our attendance has increased significantly in both physical and virtual meetings. Our church auditorium is getting smaller, and our elders are working on extending the church. Glory be to God. God has provided a meeting place for our church in Miri, Sarawak.
Thank you for your continued prayers as renovations are underway for our first service marked in the month of July. On Sunday, 29 June, we had an electrifying service dubbed “Victory Celebration Sunday” as we celebrated our victory in the month of prayer in warrior’s attire. Pastor Shepherd preached powerfully on the topic ‘No retreat, no surrender’, where he encouraged the church to continue fighting the battle, which our father Ezekiel said is in the mind. We had Holy Communion after the service. The elders and deacons hosted a feast, and there was great joy in the camp as we fellowshipped. We appreciate your prayers and support.

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.
