JULY 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

CANADA DEEPER LIFE LEADERS’ CONFERENCE 2026

The Canada Deeper Life Leaders Conference 2026 was held at the Ezekiel Guti National Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, from 2–5 July 2026, bringing together around 150 leaders from the Eastern, Western, and Central regions. Guests included our father & mother, Archbishop Dr Joseph Joe & Apostle Nyasha Guti, our mom, Snr Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti, the National Bishop Dr. Pat Schatzline, the DSG Bishop Dr. Steve and Dr. La-Verne Simukai, Overseers Dr. Winston and Dr. Dorcas Jaricha, and Pastors Patrick and Talent Cavanagh from Australia.

We give glory to the God of our father, Ezekiel H. Guti, for His faithfulness to the nation of Canada and for the gift of leadership in Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, who ministered powerfully together with Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti. Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti also graced the conference, bringing great joy and spiritual momentum, as the atmosphere was charged with grace, unity, and a strong sense of God’s presence throughout the gathering.

Apostle Nyasha Guti taught on doctrine, pattern, and Christian landmarks, encouraging believers to remain anchored in what has been taught and to preserve the legacy entrusted to them. Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti ministered on “Legacy is Personal” and “Legacy is Practical,” emphasizing the importance of defending the legacy (John 8:47).

FIFMI USA BELIEVERS’ CONVENTION

We give all the glory to the God of Ezekiel for a powerful 2026 USA Believers Convention, which took place from Thursday, June 25, to Sunday, June 28, 2026.

For the first time in history, the FIFMI USA Believers Convention was held in the Northeast Region, in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, in Sterling, Virginia, just 40 minutes from the White House. We believe this marked a significant turning point for Forward in Faith USA, as prophetic declarations were made that God is shifting things in the spiritual realm for Forward in Faith USA, especially at such a crucial moment in the nation’s history. Members traveled from across the country, both by road and by air, to attend this historic gathering.

The conference was graced by the FIFMI Secretary General, Bishop Mishael Nyambo, together with Reverend Leticia Nyambo, and the USA General Overseer and FIFMI Deputy Secretary General, Bishop Dr. Steve Simukai, together with Dr. La-Verne Simukai, Go Quickly International Director, all of whom God used mightily. We were also greatly blessed to receive special words of encouragement from our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, and our mom, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti.

We were further honored to host our guest speakers, Pastor Paul Arthurs and Pastors Patrick and Talent Cavanagh from Australia. The Holy Spirit used each speaker to deliver powerful messages that were united in one spirit, emphasizing the importance of being rooted and grounded in the doctrine of the Church and forgiveness from the heart. The praise and worship team was on fire, and the atmosphere was filled with a heavy presence of God. On Sunday, a total of 515 delegates were recorded in attendance. Healing and deliverance took place every night, and many people testified of God’s miraculous power. 23 people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

Some of the outstanding miracles and testimonies;

• 8 people who had difficulty breathing and chest pain testified that they were healed.
• 7 people who had gastritis and other stomach-related conditions testified of receiving healing after being supernaturally touched by the power of God.
• More than 9 people testified of being healed from breast lumps, cysts, breast pain, fibroids, and related conditions.

The fire experienced throughout this conference was a testimony to the elevation God has brought to the work He began through His bondservant. We give all the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ for an extraordinary and life-changing conference. Thank you all for your prayers.

GUYANA

We praise the God of Ezekiel for His goodness. On Tuesday, the ladies gathered for prayer. On Sunday, Pastor Fanuel led the Bible Study from the Sunday Morning Lecture on how Christians can be demon-possessed, followed by an interactive discussion and praise and worship. He then ministered on “Expecting Miracles” from Life of Miracle, concluding with prayer for the people. We thank you for your continued prayers for Guyana.

THAILAND

We thank the God of our father, Prof. E. H. Guti, for His faithfulness. Throughout June, Thailand and Cambodia held Spiritual Recharge meetings for pastors, elders, deacons, and believers, with prayer, fasting, and the teaching of God’s Word. The meetings focused on prayer, forgiveness, deliverance, the fear of God, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Many testified of breakthroughs, including jobs, visas, healing, and God’s provision. The month concluded with Holy Communion.

On 5 July, the Sunday service featured a Bible Study by MOI on Kingdom Men principles. Testimonies included work-related breakthroughs, healing through prayer, and the recovery of a lost passport after prayer. Elder Victor Chirongoma encouraged the church to trust God despite opposition, from Exodus 14:13–14. We thank you for your continued prayers for Thailand and Cambodia.

ASIA – Female Elders Seminar

Praise God! On 4 July, Asia Female Elders held their inaugural Go Quickly and Tell online fellowship, bringing together female elders and pastors from Cambodia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Pakistan, and Malaysia.

With 29 devices connected, the meeting was filled with inspiring teachings from Elder Moreblessing Muchemwa and Pastor Faith Sande. Grace abounded as we heard from the Go Quickly International Director, Dr. La-Verne Simukai, who encouraged participants on the vision of the ministry, the working of talents, and standing faithfully to advance God’s Kingdom. It was a refreshing and impactful fellowship. We thank the God of Ezekiel for this milestone and appreciate your continued prayers.

MALAYSIA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness in our nation. The month of June brought spiritual revival as we embarked on 30 days of 5 am, lunch hour, and evening prayers. Our Pastors, elders, and deacons attended their prayer conventions, and we wrapped up with a powerful believers’ prayer convention with Elders Chikutu as our speakers. They taught extensively on prayer, true repentance, a clean heart, and personal development. We were truly blessed; the month was dubbed ‘A season of prayer, a season of miracles’. We continue to see an increase in service attendance every Sunday. Ladies continue to meet every Tuesday for prayer. On 3 July, the young adults held a well-attended games night where they had fun in the presence of God and also received some teachings.

On 4 July, our Female elders attended the inaugural online Asia Female Elders Fellowship, where the Go Quickly Director, Dr La-Verne, imparted leadership wisdom to the elders. Our powerful Big Sunday on 5 July was hosted by our vibrant Praise and Worship team and saw a houseful of believers who came to thank God for the month of prayer and fasting. Testimonies of miracles birthed during the month of prayer strengthened the believers. Pastor Shepherd delivered an insightful and heart-touching message on the Kingdom of God titled ‘The palpability of revival ‘ and declared revival in all areas of life and the month of July as the month of testimonies. We had a great feast after the service, courtesy of the Praise and Worship team. Thank you for your prayers

ZAMBIA

Youth Leadership Summit
ZAOGA Zambia Forward in Faith Youth for the Nations thanks the God of our father, Archbishop Ezekiel H. Guti, for the successful Youth Leadership Summit 2026, held from 2–5 July 2026 at the Ezekiel Guti International Revival Centre under the theme, “Continuing the Legacy by Training Leaders to Raise Leaders.”

The summit featured powerful teachings by Overseer Adam Moyo, National Administrator Rev. Godfrey Chipoya, Youth Directors, and other ministers on holiness, vision, prayer, leadership, entrepreneurship, and the fear of God. Ten youths were baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and over 15 gave their lives to Jesus Christ. We thank God for His grace and impact.

ACBF Zambia Chapter Launch
From 1–4 July 2026, the Africa Christian Business Fellowship (ACBF) successfully held investment engagements and officially launched the ACBF Zambia Chapter in Lusaka under the leadership of Rev. Cacius Banda and International Director Rev. Sheddy Mbizvo.

The delegation met government officials, the Zimbabwean Ambassador to Zambia, and traditional leaders to discuss investment opportunities. The launch, attended by 94 delegates from Zambia, Zimbabwe, Europe, and Canada, featured mentorship and practical business teachings, marking a significant milestone for ACBF Zambia.

BOTSWANA- Maun Region

We are grateful to the God of Ezekiel for the Maun FIF Region Botswana Sunday Service, where Overseer L. Gaothobogwe taught on “No One Prospers Without Giving.” The message emphasized that giving is a lifestyle and a key to unlocking God’s blessings, while neglecting God’s house can hinder prosperity (Haggai 1:3–6). Believers were encouraged to honor God through faithful giving, seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33), and remain responsible even in times of lack. The sermon also urged believers to avoid comparison and focus on personal growth and overcoming poverty through obedience and generosity.

ZIMBABWE

Harare Central Deacons Prayer Convention
The Harare Central Province Deacons Prayer Convention was held at Borrowdale Church from 18–21 June 2026. We were privileged to host several bishops, and our mom, Senior Archbishop Prof. E. Guti, graced the convention and ministered powerfully on Sunday.

Preaching from the Prayer Convention Letter, John 14:30, and Matthew 18:21, she encouraged believers to forgive, avoid giving room to the devil through unforgiveness, and become useful vessels in God’s house, following the example of our father, the legendary Archbishop E. H. Guti. More than 300 deacons attended, Holy Communion was served, and many received prayer. We believe Harare Central Deacons will never be the same again.

Gweru Province- Woodlands Region
Under the leadership of our Regional Pastors, Evangelist Dr. Joel Chinhema and Pastor Wimbai Chinhema, we thank the God of our father, Archbishop Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, for the successful official opening of our church on Sunday, 28 June 2026. The service was graced by Bishop N.K. Guti and Reverend R. Guti, together with Mama Bishop Celia Mashushire, Provincial Overseers L & F Mahaso, and many pastors from the province.

A ZCC member who runs a glazing company testified that after obeying God’s instruction to install glass for the church free of charge, he experienced many miracles. By God’s provision, the church roof was completed in one month, and the remaining construction was finished within five months, being inspired by the History book page 24, last paragraph which says – “he said if you do my will, when you need clothes, ask of me and I will provide…. ask of me and I will provide, if you remain faithful to my work …”.
The celebration featured KMD and Brother Dion Munyaradzi on the saxophone. Attendance was 350 adults and 301 children, and 10 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ following the message preached by District Pastor Sikhosi Sithole. We thank the God of Ezekiel for His ever-abounding mercies.

Waterfalls Province – Houghton Park N/A District
With hearts overflowing with gratitude, we give all glory to the God of Ezekiel for the abundant grace He gave us during the official opening of our church—ZAOGA Houghton Park Non-Autonomous District—on 5 July 2026. In a remarkably short time, we were able to dedicate a magnificent, state-of-the-art sanctuary complete with modern facilities—a true testimony of His faithfulness. This achievement was made possible under the leadership of our Overseers, I & S Machuwaire, and our District Pastors, Hope and Tayana Sithole.

The celebrations were further crowned by the near-completion of a vast Children’s Church, clearly declaring our commitment to raising the next generation. The occasion drew a great multitude of worshippers and distinguished delegates, and was graciously officiated by our Senior Bishop, N.K. Guti, with Bishop & Amai Gangata and Bishop & Amai Chikore also in attendance.
The date 5 July 2026 is truly remarkable, not only as the day our church was officially opened, but also as a moment to celebrate the legacy that our father has left us.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

ZAOGA FIFMI History book – the book of remembrance pg 16…

Warning:
Now I want to say this:

1. Let the people be taught to do what I taught, and not just to like my face only, but to love my God and His word and not my word.
2. If people lean on me as their source of strength, they will be led astray when I am gone because they will say, ‘our strength is gone.’ Only those who kept my teachings will survive. Those who used to hear you saying God is present because the servant of God is present, will laugh at you saying ‘Your God is gone. What are you going to do?’ I never preached myself to be Jesus or pretend to be Jesus, but I am a servant and Messenger of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, who died and rose for you and me. Amen….TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
