JULY 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

BOTSWANA NATIONAL WOMEN’S CONFERENCE

We are so grateful to the God of our father, Ezekiel, for allowing us to hold the 1st edition of the Botswana National Women’s Conference. We were highly favored to learn at the feet of our Mum, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, our mother Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti, our International Director for Go Quickly, Dr. La-Verne Simukai, Rev. Leticia Nyambo (Mama Africa), and Bishop Prisca Soko. The conference began with 304 ladies gathered at Block 8 Church, and on Sunday, the number increased to 849 ladies and 350 children in person, with over 500 joining virtually.

On Saturday evening, there was an irresistible presence of God when Dr. La-Verne Simukai took over the podium; many received their healing and deliverance without the laying on of hands. Six ladies received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and 47 were baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Our mother, Apostle Nyasha, taught powerfully on respecting one another, while Mum, Professor Eunor, taught on forgiveness—encouraging women to understand storms and learn to forgive, with countless women feeling emotionally revived.

Notable Miracles and Testimonies:

• Breast lumps disappeared.
• Five ladies with shoulder and arm pains were healed.
• A lady who had injured her toes (unable to wear heels) was instantly healed and testified on Sunday while wearing heels.
• A woman whose husband had AVN was prayed for; she felt a burning sensation from the waist to the hip, and her husband confirmed the pain was gone.
• A lady with heaviness in her heart due to offences poured out was totally delivered.
• A lady was healed from breast pain
• Many women were healed from migraine headaches
• People with gastritis and acid reflux were prayed for and received healing.
• A lady who felt heaviness from the waist to the hip was instantly healed as she walked forward to be prayed for.
• A lady with tightness in her chest was prayed for, delivered, and instantly received her healing.

ALGERIA

We give glory to the God of Ezekiel for a successful first GOQ Conference in Algeria, held from the 9th to the 11th of July 2026. We are grateful to God for making it possible for us to host this historic Girls’ conference in Algeria. On average, 12 girls attended the conference from beginning to end, and we thank God for His faithfulness and the hunger He placed in their hearts to receive His Word.

It was a great honor that our mom, Archbishop Eunor Guti, streamed a teaching on Church Doctrine, and Elder Lorraine Nyajeka taught the purpose and objectives of the Girls’ Ministry from the Girls’ Fellowship book. Pastor Virginia Tigere taught on the genuine fear of God and running away from sin.

Elder Carol Katsande ministered on prayer and how prayer makes things happen. Dr. La-Verne streamed teaching on purity, explaining it as chastity and moral cleanliness, calling the girls to self-control and to flee from sin.

Elder Lorraine Nyajeka closed with ‘Being Vessels of Honor’, teaching how vessels can become corrupted, signs of demonic activity, and how to deliver oneself. The conference also included forerunners, Dental Grooming (Dr. Kelly), Graceful Grooming (Student Pastor Ebbie Simukai), and Q&A. There was a separate service for the boys. Praise be to the God of Ezekiel.

MIDDLE EAST NATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE

We give all the glory to the God of our father, Ezekiel H. Guti, for the successful hosting of the very first edition of the National Youth Conference (NYC) in the Middle East at the Dubai Centre in the United Arab Emirates, running from 9–12 July 2026. Delegates attended in person from the UAE and the Middle East region, while fellow youths with work commitments joined online, making it a truly remarkable regional gathering.

Under the guidance of the Middle East Overseers, Thomas & Rhoda Dewa, and the National Youth Pastors, Tafadzwa & Nyasha Mukura, the conference was blessed with several local speakers and our main guest speakers, Overseers Shadrack & Eunice Matsikenyere, who ministered powerfully throughout the conference. The conference opened on a high note, with attendance growing from approximately 100 delegates on the first day to 261 delegates on the final Sunday morning, clearly showing the hunger and excitement among the youths.

Throughout the conference, the youths were taught life-changing and practical subjects by both local and international speakers, including Giving, Practical Repentance, Personal Development, the History and Doctrine of the Church, and Entrepreneurship, among others. The highlight was the Saturday evening service, where Overseer Eunice Matsikenyere ushered the congregation into the presence of God. 15 people received the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, many received spiritual gifts, and others were re-ignited in the fire of God; the move of the Holy Spirit was undeniable as many remained behind in fervent prayer long after the official service ended. To God be all the glory for the successful inaugural edition of the National Youth Conference in the Middle East.

AUSTRALIA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for the remarkable success of the 2026 National Youth “Xtreme Heirs” Conference, held from July 9 to 12 at the Wollongong Surf Leisure Centre in New South Wales. Over 270 delegates gathered, including youth from across Australia and international visitors from New Zealand and the USA. The conference was honoured by the presence of the Bishop, National Administrators, National Youth Directors, Youth Pastors, and many other leaders, along with vibrant youth delegates.

During the weekend, God’s presence was evident in powerful teachings and life-changing responses. On Thursday night, the focus on salvation led to 10 young people either giving their lives to Jesus for the first time or rededicating themselves, and this year, they were encouraged to complete the step of water baptism, with 10 individuals baptized during the conference. The teachings continued on topics such as the fear of God, prayer, identity, staying on fire after deliverance, the Holy Spirit, social media and music, legacy, giving, courtship (Masofa), and talents.

The conference was further strengthened through impartations from an excellent line-up of speakers and special international participation in worship and ministry, including youth from the USA. On Friday evening, the Upper Room Experience featured praise, worship, and the Xtreme Heirs team, while Friday’s message on Holy Spirit baptism resulted in 18 being baptized. The missions team launched the National Youth Missions, raising a substantial amount, and on Sunday Bishop Dr. Stanley Masaka delivered the message “Parents Deserve Respect,” concluding with individual blessings for each youth member through laying on of hands.

This was the first-ever FIFMI Nigeria Believers’ Convention. Believers from across Nigeria traveled to attend this glorious gathering, and we thank God for marking this moment as a new chapter for Forward in Faith Ministries International Nigeria. The unity, commitment, and hunger for God displayed by the people served as strong evidence that God was doing something special in our midst.

International delegation present, the Word and atmosphere: We were greatly honored to host a powerful delegation from our International Headquarters, including Bishop George Mutingwa, Overseer Geshem and Abigail Musvipa, Rev. Johnson Mlambo, Overseer Philip Chipfakanya, and Pastor Pound. God used each of these ministers mightily to strengthen, equip, and impart to the people. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully through every service as the messages aligned in one Spirit—emphasizing the importance of being rooted and grounded in the doctrine of the Church and walking in forgiveness from the heart. While the praise and worship team ignited the atmosphere with the heavy presence of God.

We give praise and thanks to the God of Ezekiel for His goodness in our nation. As we continue to hold on to the teachings of our father Ezekiel, the ladies gathered in person in our church building on Tuesday. On Sunday, Bible study was led by our pastor from the Sunday Morning Lectures, where he emphasized how believers can open doors for demons to operate in their lives and encouraged everyone to be grounded in the Word of God.

We had powerful testimonies of the goodness of the God of Ezekiel, including people sharing what God has brought them through and celebrating children who passed the national exams. We give glory to the God of Ezekiel for doing great things in our nation. Elder Sherry-Ann ministered about the Kingdom of God using the History book, sharing miracles that show how the Kingdom operates, and encouraging people to pray to live a Kingdom life like our father Ezekiel.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

ZAOGA FIFMI History book – the book of remembrance pg 17…

Warning:

Now I want to say this:

3. My aim is that everyone clings to what I preach about Jesus, who sent me. I was sent by Jesus. I was raised by God to teach people the truth, without anything human in it; only that of God, without the doctrine of man. Be ye my followers, as I am a follower of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1).
   It is not allowed to put trust in man, but rather in the word of God, which I speak. My leadership is not based on intellectual capabilities but in the true word of God. That is the doctrine. All those who teach saying ‘God is here because Baba Guti is here,’ that is not true. But you should say, “We thank the God of Ezekiel Guti”; this is not bad. The Israelites were doing it, but not worshipping those people. I do not teach to draw people to myself, but to Jesus Christ. I am His servant; Hallelujah!…. TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
