JULY 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

SILVER SINGLE LADIES CONFERENCE

The Single Women Ministry hosted its 2nd Silver Single Ladies Conference from 16 to 19 July 2026 at the Ezekiel Guti International Convention Centre (AMFCC), under the theme “Daughters of the Legacy, Fearless & Unstoppable – Fixing Each Other’s Crown”. Our Mum, Snr Archbishop Eunor Guti, graced the conference, and her teaching on forgiveness from offenses and storms left the ladies not only inspired but also practically equipped, giving us both understanding and the skill to face storms with faith and grace rather than fear or resentment. Our Father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, and Mother Apostle Miriam Nyasha Guti also attended, encouraging us with love to “dress to bless” outwardly as much as inwardly, quoting excerpts from the Local Church. We were further honored by the presence of Go Quickly International Director, Dr. La-Verne Simukai. The conference’s powerfully effervescent guest speakers included Overseers Abishai and Lindiwe Mapamba, Pastor Nyamurowa, and Evangelists Mavhunga and Mazambara.

A total of 1,100 delegates attended from all provinces in Zimbabwe, with international participants joining from Dubai, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Mozambique. Delegates from Australia, Egypt, the UK, Canada, and Botswana also attended via Zoom. This powerful gathering aimed to win new souls among single mothers, from childbearing teenagers to 45-year-old women across nations. Notably, 50% of attendees were first-time delegates to any Single Women Ministry Conference, and 40% were aged 17 to 30 — representing the majority of new believers, single mothers struggling with today’s societal challenges such as teenage pregnancy, drugs and substance abuse, and unemployment. This presents an opportunity to heal the tripartite being and empower them through the School of Talents.

Other speakers focused on Deliverance from Curses, Self-Development, Mental Health, social media, Law, and Blended Families. Breakout session groups were tackling such issues as barrenness, illnesses, healing, and the Holy Spirit. Other statistics included 1 Person saved, 92 Silvers were prayed for against the spirit of lust, 195 battling with unforgiveness, 82 battling with acids, 37 battling with living a double life of being single whilst having boyfriends, 98 battling with broken hearts, drugs, and substance abuse. 180 received the Holy Spirit, and there was impartation of Praise and Worship. Many attended the faith clinic. The Silver Women also recognized our parents and friends of the ministry who partnered with them. Glory be to the God of Ezekiel for such a life-transforming and unforgettable conference!!

KUWADZANA KINGDOM PROVINCE – Legacy Big Sunday

Under the leadership of Overseer C and S Madimutsa, together with the entire Provincial Leadership — DPs, Pastors, Elders, and Deacons — hosted an unforgettable Legacy Big Sunday on 19 July 2026 at the Kambuzuma 3 Grounds in Harare. The event drew a crowd of about 5000 people, some coming from outside the province, all waiting in great anticipation and expectancy for the coming of our father and mother, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti, who were the Guest speakers for the day. The crowd was overflowing with joy as our father and mother stepped onto the grounds on their arrival.

Other notable attendees included Bishop N.K. and Amai Guti, Mama Bishop E. Kataya, Bishop J. and Rev. B. Mangiza, HQ Administrator Rev. Dr. S. Mauye, Overseers from Highfield, Norton, and Harare Central Provinces, and directors of the Prisons and Music ministries.

Our father, the Archbishop, ministered healing and deliverance before teaching on the importance of carrying forward Archbishop E.H. Guti’s legacy, declaring that an angel of God leads ZAOGA FIF. He urged true repentance, reminding believers that being born again changes the spirit, but we must keep working on our character to become like Jesus Christ. He concluded with a call to true repentance, which attracts God’s forgiveness for those in the church betraying the legacy through double lives — professing faith while stealing at work, fornicating, and engaging in other vices of the world.

One hundred and seventeen (117) people gave their lives to Christ, and 350 people were practically delivered from various demonic vexations. Many young people thronged the altar, repenting of drug abuse and other delinquencies. Kuwadzana Kingdom Province was truly blessed and will not remain the same. All glory be to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti.

GUYANA

We praise the God of Ezekiel for His goodness to us. On Tuesday, the ladies gathered for prayer. On Sunday, the Bible Study was led by Pastor Fanuel, who continued the discussion from the Sunday Morning Lecture on how Christians can be demon-possessed. It was an interactive and thought-provoking session. This was followed by a powerful time of praise and worship. The Word was ministered by Elder Ceceline, who spoke on the fear of God and the love of God. It was a timely and powerful message that encouraged and strengthened the congregation. The service concluded with prayer for the people. We thank you for your continued prayers for Guyana.

CYPRUS

We want to give all glory and honor to the God of our Father, Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, for the great work He is doing in our nation. Over the weekend, we managed to hold our National Council meeting on 18 July, which was well attended by leaders from across the nation. Our pastors also shared on the importance of faithfully following the pattern of FIF.

We closed the weekend with a powerful National Big Sunday on 19 July, which saw high participation from all assemblies. There were many activities and appreciations, as well as a celebration of two candidates who were water baptized over the weekend. There was great joy in the house of the Lord as we rejoiced over the weddings lined up in our church. We ended with an impactful word from Pastor Power Sibanda on “The Referential God,” and there was tangible evidence of the move of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, we give thanks to the God of Ezekiel, and we believe that our nation will not remain the same through your prayers.

SOUTH KOREA

We are filled with gratitude and joy as we reflect on this past week of fellowship, transition, and spiritual growth. We officially welcomed Apostle Zenas and Overseer Dr. Cathy Marurama to our church in South Korea, and we received them with hearts full of gladness and anticipation.

We give all glory to God for our weekly meetings—especially the Friday and Sunday combined services with believers in Japan, China, and Russia. Overseer Dr. Cathy shared on prayer on Friday, and Apostle Zenas ministered on the Kingdom of God on Sunday. Two members who were sick were prayed for.

MOZAMBIQUE

As the legacy continues, we praise the God of our Father, Ezekiel Guti, who continues to do great wonders by granting us the opportunity to meet President Daniel Francisco Chapo of Mozambique on 10 July 2026. The purpose of the meeting was to convey warm congratulations from all believers and Archbishop Dr. Mateus Luís Simão, together with sincere wishes for God’s wisdom and success as he serves in the high office of President, following his election on 9 October 2024 and inauguration on 15 January 2025. A framed gift, a Holy Bible, and a financial donation were presented to support victims of natural disasters.

We also thank God for the successful First National Men of Integrity Meeting on 18 July 2026, a significant milestone where leaders were elected and teachings delivered on family leadership, talent development, entrepreneurship, and business creation. In evangelism, we glorify God for more than 500 souls saved during crusades in Nampula, Gaza, and Vilankulo, where the outreach culminated in the opening of a new church. All glory goes to the God of our Father Ezekiel Guti for these mighty works.

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

We give all glory and honor to the God of our Father for His mighty hand upon the work in Trinidad & Tobago this week. On Sunday morning, heavy rains threatened to disrupt worship, but God intervened — the skies cleared, and the service went forward in power. The atmosphere was filled with heartfelt testimonies, deliverance, and a tangible outpouring of His presence as the Word was preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

The congregation was deeply moved, experiencing renewal and transformation that carried through to the close of worship. Adding to this momentum, the launch of the online Morning Glory Prayer Meeting from 5:00–6:00 a.m. saw 10 believers gather faithfully in its first session. This marks the beginning of a vibrant prayer movement that is expected to grow, strengthening believers and producing lasting fruit for the Kingdom of God.

Truly, the week was a testimony of God’s faithfulness — from His control over the elements to His power in worship and prayer, reminding us that His presence continues to guide and uplift the church in Trinidad & Tobago.

Hwange East District, Matabeleland North Province
We praise God for a historic, power-packed weekend (17–19 July 2026) in which believers experienced deep refreshing during the visit of Bishop Dr. David and Reverend Emma Gangata. The event was graced by key church leadership and local pastors, and attendance grew from 150 on Friday evening to a Sunday overflow of 347 saints.

The weekend’s central message focused on guarding the rich legacy of ZAOGA FIF by preserving the original pattern given by God through Archbishop Professor Ezekiel H. Guti. Speakers taught that true sons and daughters do not reinvent, but uphold the doctrine, character, and prayer culture so the fire continues for generations.

On Saturday, DP Faith Rwodzi hosted a gathering of over 100 women, ministered through Reverend Emma Gangata’s empowering message. On Sunday, Bishop Dr. David Gangata emphasized accountable, clean-hearted leadership, then delivered an urgent word on “Defending Your Blessing,” resulting in altar calls, broken chains, and believers sealed with fresh anointing for victory.

Gutu Local Mother Church, under the leadership of Senior Pastors O. and L. Chigidani, hosted the Back to Basics Conference from 17 to 19 July. The turn-up was 95%, and Elder Carol was the speaker. She ministered on the theme: “The Fear of God”, using Psalms 50:20 and John 4:24.

People were also given time for Faith Clinic. The conference concluded with a solemn call for every believer to return to the genuine fear of God. The church was encouraged to pray earnestly for a deeper reverence for God, to repent of all hidden sins, and to embrace holiness as a lifestyle. We give glory to the God of our father, E. H. Guti.

We are so grateful to the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for the success of the crusade held three days before our Back-to-Basics conference in Chiriga District. It began on 14 July. We appreciate Evangelist J.

We thank our overseers, O. and L. Chigidhani, for encouraging us to develop the Chatsworth region, saying it has great potential to become the backbone of Chiriga District.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

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

Warning:

Now I want to say this:…..
“Let no person put trust in man;” the Bible forbids, Jeremiah 17:5-8. I say, ‘blessed is the man that trusts in God, whom I have taught.’ He who loves me, let him keep the salvation of Jesus Christ that I have taught and will teach till He comes; that man might believe and be saved from their sins and walk in the light and in truth without compromise.

My teaching is not a mixture of truth and lies, but pure word of God. He who walks in this truth will not go astray, though he might be a fool….. TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.

Apostle Drs. Steve & La-Verne Simukai
