JULY 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

UNITED KINGDOM

The United Kingdom hosted the 18th Europe Deeper Life Leadership Conference (EDLC26) from 22–25 July, with a maximum attendance of 1,300 delegates. The conference concluded with the historic Legacy National Big Sunday, where our 3,000-seater Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre was filled to capacity. Delegates travelled from across Europe and beyond, with attendees coming from nations including Belize, Australia, Barbados, Zimbabwe and many others.

EDLC26 was a dynamic and life-transforming conference led by our Father, Archbishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti, and our Mother Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti; our Mum, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti; the Secretary General, Bishop Mishael and Rev Leticia Nyambo; the Deputy Secretary General, Bishop Dr Steve and Dr La-Verne Simukai; and Overseers Drs Winston and Dorcas Jaricha. We were also privileged to be ministered to by our international guest speakers, Australia National Administrator, Overseers Joram and Joylyn Rusere, who were used so powerfully by God. We were also graced by the presence of Bishop Anna Maoko, Apostle T. and Rev Joy Mike from our Headquarters in Zimbabwe.

From the very first day, the conference was ablaze with powerful teachings covering righteousness, the importance of Faith Clinic, Prayer, Faith, knowing God, and understanding who He is in the midst of life’s challenges. Each session was accompanied by heartfelt repentance, altar calls, impartation, and deliverance.

Friday and Saturday evening services were marked by mighty moves of the Holy Spirit. After Overseer Joram Rusere taught, the fire of God fell all over the auditorium.

Following Dr. La-Verne’s ministry, God performed many miracles and healings.

Among the testimonies:

• Several people with shoulder problems, including frozen shoulders, were healed
• Two people with pain or ringing in their ears were healed
• Some with issues with their feet, including swollen feet, were healed
• After prayer, a lady checked and found the lump in her breast had disappeared.
• Another lady, who had arrived using a walking stick, was completely healed and climbed onto the stage unaided.
• A gentleman suffering from severe side pain, with suspected kidney damage, also testified to his complete healing, among many other miracles.
• 11 people were filled with the Holy Spirit, and many experienced a spirit of joy and revival as they laughed in the Spirit.

Our Mum, Prof Eunor Guti, taught powerfully on forgiveness and the benefits of the storm. Drawing from John 14:30, she emphasised that “the devil must have nothing to claim in me.” She reminded the Church that going through a storm does not mean God is against us, but rather that He is taking us from one level to the next level. Archbishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti challenged leaders to continue the legacy with a genuine fear of God, without compromise, so that the ministry does not become just another denomination. He urged every leader to develop godly character and protect the precious legacy entrusted to us. Our Mother, Apostle Nyasha, called the Church back to the foundational principles we have been taught, including church standards.
Leaders were also equipped in key ministry areas, including safeguarding, physical and mental health, cell groups and church growth, giving, and the value of Children’s Church.

One of the biggest highlights for the United Kingdom was surpassing our target for Missions. Great jubilation and celebration filled the auditorium as the Church rejoiced, acknowledging that such an achievement could only be possible because God is with us. The United Kingdom continues to walk in the prophetic word given by the Servant and Apostle Ezekiel Guti that the United Kingdom would become the “Hub of Missions.” Glory be to God!

Another highlight of the conference was the annual UKMFCC Graduation Celebration, held on Saturday. This year’s graduation marked a significant milestone, with the highest enrolment to date, reflecting a growing hunger among leaders to deepen their knowledge of God’s Word and effective leadership and ministry.

Throughout the conference, the United Kingdom also celebrated the establishment of its newest baby church in Jersey, giving God thanks for His continued growth of the ministry.

Our Father concluded the Legacy National Big Sunday with a powerful message on the legacy of our church. He declared that good things are coming, reminding the Church that we are Forward in Faith and that there is no going backwards. This, he taught, is why we forgive, leaving behind the things of the past. He also emphasised that the Church is not a place where we choose only the teachings we like; rather, obedience brings God’s blessings. Finally, he reminded us that what will carry this Church faithfully from generation to generation is the making of true disciples. We also celebrate the four souls that received Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour on Sunday.

AUSTRALIA

Victoria State – We give glory to the God of Ezekiel for the remarkable success of the Victoria State Kingdom Couples Retreat, held from 24–26 July 2026 at the picturesque Yarra Valley Lodge. The retreat was a powerful demonstration of God’s love and faithfulness as 23 couples gathered for a weekend of spiritual renewal, restoration, fellowship, and empowerment.

The retreat Speakers were Overseers Dr Norman and Rev. Nerisa Normans, who travelled all the way from New Zealand to minister to the couples in Victoria. Also, the pastors in attendance were the Acting Overseers, the Varipanos, Pastors Cavanagh and Pastor Kulecha Chipadza. Under the grace and anointing of the God of Ezekiel, they delivered life-transforming teachings focusing on recognising and overcoming emotional aversion in marriage. Their Spirit-filled ministry brought healing, restoration, renewed understanding, and fresh hope to many marriages.

The retreat was marked by a powerful Faith Clinic and prayer session where couples received personal ministry, experienced the presence of God, and witnessed strengthening, healing, and renewal in their marriages. Inspiring teachings on love languages, intentional expressions of love, and biblical principles for building healthy marriages encouraged couples to invest in their relationships through love, communication, and appreciation.

The weekend was further enriched by heartfelt testimonies, a memorable Black-Tie Gala Dinner, and moments of fellowship and celebration. The 2026 Victoria State Kingdom Couples Retreat was a true divine encounter that restored, equipped, and empowered couples to build Christ-centred marriages. Victoria State extends heartfelt gratitude to Overseers Dr. Norman and Rev. Nerisa Normans for their impactful ministry and continues to trust God for stronger families and greater growth ahead.

Western Australia – The Western Australia assemblies thank the God of Ezekiel for a powerful season of ministry through Prophetess Dr. Annah Moyounotsva from 18 June to 12 July 2026. Across Perth Metro, Bunbury, Goldfields (Kalgoorlie), Newman, and the Northwest Region, believers were strengthened through leadership development, prayer conventions, faith clinic, home visitations, and revival meetings. The ministry brought renewed passion for prayer, spiritual growth, and empowerment for leaders and members alike.

Throughout the visitation, many experienced healing, deliverance, restoration, and spiritual renewal. A total of 48 believers were filled with the Holy Spirit, three people gave their lives to Christ, and many testified of breakthroughs, reconciliation, and freedom. With more than 950 people attending the various meetings and services, the visitation was a remarkable season of revival that strengthened the Church and advanced the Kingdom of God across Western Australia.

During the second in-person gathering in Poipet, the assembly continued to grow, with believers experiencing the presence of God through worship, teaching, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Testimonies of provision and healing were shared, while members were encouraged through teachings on obedience, faithfulness, and relating with their pastor.

The service was filled with the move of God, as believers experienced deliverance, Holy Spirit baptism, and spiritual renewal. We thank God for the growth of Poipet Assembly and continue to pray for its establishment and progress in the grace of the God of Ezekiel.

On Sunday, the entire nation came together for National Missions Day, united in prayer, giving, and sending. We celebrate every missionary, every soul reached, and every contribution that is advancing the Kingdom of God.

We thank the God of Ezekiel for His continued goodness to the church in Guyana. The week was marked by prayer meetings for the ladies on Tuesday and the whole church on Friday. On Sunday, believers were taught about guarding against doors to demonic influence, followed by a powerful testimony of a woman delivered from the bondage of a charm after surrendering it. The service concluded with an uplifting time of praise and worship, celebrating God’s saving and delivering power.

The Word of God was ministered by Elder Wesley, who spoke on the importance of prayer and the Word of God working together. The message touched many hearts and led several people to come forward for prayer. Thank you for your continued prayers for Guyana.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

ZAOGA FIFMI History book – the book of remembrance pg 20…

Warning:

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

“And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the highway of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for others: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not go astray” (Isaiah 35:8).

We will stay together in heaven. He who is desirous to see me must keep all I have taught in Christ, the Son of the Living God. Hallelujah! For His mercy endureth forever, let all the saints say Amen!

This ministry is not going to come to an end. God will raise many young people if they keep themselves from these: Pride, the love of money, and the temptation of women (or men).

God raised one Ezekiel, but there are going to be many true disciples of Ezekiel who will lead the people in all truth by the Spirit of God. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
