On Saturday morning, after Bishop Pat Schatzline spoke, followed by Apostle Dr. Steve Simukai, a mighty wave of the Holy Spirit swept through the congregation, lasting over 3 hours. People were filled with the Spirit, speaking in tongues, and soaking in the Holy Spirit. We have experienced this ministration in our nation, to God be the glory. In the evening, there was a great revival as Dr. La-Verne preached. 8 people received baptism of the Holy Spirit, and many people were refilled with the Holy Spirit. Overseer G Rwizi & Overseer W Jaricha ministered so powerfully, and many people were delivered from various spirits, which resulted in healing, deliverance, and restoration.
On Sunday, our mom, Snr Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti, ministered a powerful teaching that touched on areas which included prayer, soul winning, the Kingdom of God, knowing our goals, and the will of God through the word of God. After Holy Communion, the assembly joyfully celebrated with dancing and singing. There was much joy that people could hardly part after the convention.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Mark 11:22-24 “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. “Therefore, I say to you, Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Why are you crying and scared? What do you really want to happen? What are you really looking for? If you want, go to AMFCC, you will see the dining hall that l built without asking for money from the church. I just wanted to use this verse and prove if it really works. It says, whatever that you want to happen, speak it, then l spoke, and it happened. Go and see the dining hall, it is there!
When you know and are confident you are a child of God, all what you want to happen, just say it out. All that you want to happen, say it out! If you want God to bless you, say I am blessed. If you want money, call the money. Don’t just cry about the economy. You will not die if you are in the Kingdom of God. Believe in the kingdom of God and speak, and it will happen all the time…. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
