2026 PASTORS DEEPERLIFE CONFERENCE

The Deeper Life International Leadership Conference was an extraordinary gathering for the pastorate and ministry, celebrating an impressive global outreach that now spans over 175 nations, with around 80 countries fully represented! With a peak attendance exceeding 2,700 delegates, the atmosphere buzzed with both numerical strength and spiritual depth.

Attendees were inspired by powerful messages from esteemed speakers, including our mom, Senior Archbishop Eunor Guti, our beloved father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, who has recently been elevated to Archbishop of ZAOGA FIF International, our mother, Pastor Nyasha Guti, the SG Bishop Mishael Nyambo, Bishop Dr. Steve Simukai, Dr. La-Verne Simukai, and many others. The Spirit-filled teachings on sound doctrine, leadership integrity, and faithfulness electrified the crowd, igniting a renewed commitment to the apostolic mandate.

A highlight of the conference was the ordination of several pastors into full-time ministry, marking a heartfelt commissioning that resonated throughout the venue. The grand finale took place on Sunday at 4:00 PM with a historic consecration service, featuring the Executive Council, Headquarters Bishops, and the three Archbishops. The chief consecrator, Senior Archbishop Apostle Eunor Guti, guided the ceremony with grace and authority.

Apostle M. Nyambo and Apostle Dr. Steve Simukai were consecrated as Bishops, while our father, Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, was officially installed as Archbishop! The house erupted in applause as people celebrated the elevation and the goodness of God. Undeniably, the legacy continues! The event was further honored by the presence of the EFZ President, the Permanent Secretary for Presidential Affairs and Devolution in the office of the President of Zimbabwe, Archbishop Gurupira, and other distinguished dignitaries.

This conference wasn’t just a gathering; it was a defining moment of unity, growth, and generational leadership alignment, leaving everyone uplifted and inspired as the Legacy continues with virtue. Indeed Haiperi!

On Sunday, January 24, we gathered for worship with 38 attendees, along with 2 visitors. The message was delivered by our evangelist, emphasizing the theme “Christ is Our Peace.”
In light of the rising global tensions and deteriorating socio-economic conditions, many expressed concerns. Young graduates face uncertainty in securing employment to support their families. However, we were reminded of Jesus’ assurance that our hearts need not be troubled, encouraging us to trust in Him during these challenging times. Prayer request, that the Lord God of Ezekiel may give us a place for the church

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

The other day, during ten days of prayer, when our father, the servant and Apostle of God, Ezekiel Guti, was reading the book of James 1:5, which says, “If anyone lacks wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
He said, “I decided to ask God for more wisdom. I believe as we grow physically, we should also grow in wisdom.” I am saying to you now, as Christians and as we pray for the work of God, we should grow in wisdom, which enables us to keep Godliness in our homes.
Prov 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Words can motivate, words can inspire, words can encourage, words can heal, words can cause misery, words can destroy, words can cause war, words can cause quarrel and divorce in marriage, words can create divisions and separations with friends and family members. Words, words! This is what the God whom we are worshipping and crying for His work and crying for the leaders that he has given us desires. God wants us to cry with a clean heart, and as we cry with a clean heart, God will give us godliness … God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
