AUGUST 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

UNITED KINGDOM

We give all glory and honour to the God of our father, Archbishop Professor Ezekiel H. Guti, for a powerful and life-transforming United Kingdom National Girls of Quality Conference held from 20–23 August 2026, under the theme “Daughters of the Vision – Rooted & Rising in the Legacy.” Attendance grew from 91 delegates on Thursday to 347 on Sunday, with girls gathering from across the United Kingdom and International delegates joining from the Schengen region, Australia, USA, China, Zimbabwe and Canada as part of Dr. La-Verne’s team.

The conference was graced by powerful teachings on purity and sanctification, prayer, spiritual growth, health, personal development, leadership and remaining rooted in the vision and legacy. The International Go Quickly Director, Dr La-Verne Simukai, our UK National Girls Director, Overseer Ann Forest, Overseer Cecelia Zezani, together with Dr. Nqobile Maziriri (Zim), Pastor Tayana Sithole (Zim), Pastor Molleen Varipano (Australia), Elder Essie Dhliwayo (USA), Elder Blessing Matare (Canada) and many other ministers poured into the GOQ. We witnessed a mighty move of God, with 47 people receiving Jesus Christ and 32 GOQ receiving the Holy Spirit.

Saturday evening was exceptional as Dr La-Verne was used powerfully by God. Evil spirits screamed out loud just by her going up the stage and singing. Great deliverance took place, and after that, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Many were filled with the joy of the Lord as they began to laugh in the Spirit. The session was very hard to close as Young Eunors across the room were drunk in the Spirit. Sunday ministration carried the same pattern after a powerful teaching on how our Mom Apostle Eunor Guti, our role model, was sold out for Christ as a girl in her days.

Powerful testimonies were shared of deliverance, healing, new tongues, and deeper encounters with God. One first-time attendee testified of being able to walk better after receiving prayer, while another testified that voices which had been tormenting and discouraging her became quiet after deliverance prayer, leaving her with renewed hope and strength. UK GOQ are determined to remain rooted and rising in the legacy.

Indeed, the legacy continues. To the God of our father be all the glory and honour.

GUYANA

We give praise and thanks to the God of Ezekiel for His goodness to us in Guyana, as we continue to hold fast to the teachings of our father, Ezekiel. On Tuesday, the ladies gathered for a time of prayer. On Sunday, the Bible Study was led by our Pastor, based on the Sunday Morning Lectures. The teaching focused on “How Do We Know When a Demon Is Using Someone? The teaching emphasized the importance of genuinely fearing God, running away from sin, and living with the awareness that God is always watching. It also highlighted the example of our father, Ezekiel, who demonstrated a deep reverence and fear of God in his life.

JAPAN

We thank the God of our Father for enabling Overseers Eliah and Molly Muzanamombe to be with us. We had a powerful hybrid Sunday service with 14 believers, where we learned that unforgiveness is a door for the devil and that forgiveness is essential. Powerful testimonies were shared, including testimonies of success in examinations and business provision. Overseer Molly Muzanamombe ministered on “The Power and Message of the Cross,” reminding us that the cross gives us victory over Satan and power to overcome. To God be all the glory!

RUSSIA

We are grateful to the God of Ezekiel for a remarkable Believers’ Convention held in St Petersburg. It was a great honour to have Pastor Blessing and Student Pastor Cleo Mutingwa as our guest speakers. The convention was attended by believers from 6 cities—Kursk, Moscow, St Petersburg, Oriel, Yoshkar Ola, UFA, and Obninsk—with members from different nations, including Pakistan, Zambia, and Tanzania. The first day had an attendance of 37 members, with Pastor Blessing ministering on “Becoming a Vessel of Honor,” followed by a powerful deliverance session. On the second day, our Russian sister, Marina Levnina, shared a powerful message on Unconditional Love, followed by 2 workshops. Pastor Cleo then officially opened the convention and challenged believers to know the God of their Father and understand the history of the Church.

On Sunday, attendance rose to 47 members, with Pastor Blessing teaching on the Kingdom of God and Pastor Cleo on the Power of the Holy Spirit. There was a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with many people healed of leg pain, elbow pain, migraine headaches, depression, and other ailments, while many were delivered and filled with the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues. 2 brothers were also baptized in water. We sincerely thank the Missions Office for sending Pastors Mutingwa to grace our convention. Glory to God.

God’s power was mightily demonstrated, with many people delivered from marine spirits, the spirit of anger, back pain, blindness, post-accident pains, and bloodline curses. Many also testified of healing from various ailments and afflictions, including chronic headaches, while others who had been dependent on crutches were able to walk. The Explo was also graced by pastors from the Buhera Pastors’ Fraternal, the Local Councilor, a representative of the CEO of Murambinda City Council, and the MP of Buhera.

The children were also enriched through powerful teachings on Grooming and Etiquette, Drug and Substance Abuse, Career Guidance, Study and Exam Preparation, Technology, and social media. We witnessed great transformation as, after being taught about the dangers of idol worship, children confessed to addictions and the use of rings, neck chains, and printed clothing. They voluntarily brought these items forward for destruction. Indeed, a great transformation is taking place among our children, the defenders of the Legacy. Glory be to God!

We would like to thank the God of our Father, E. H.

Chipatiko delivered inspirational sessions on entrepreneurship and business, encouraging the youth to start businesses with whatever they have, wherever they are. They emphasized the importance of taking decisive action and moving from ideas to implementation. Testimonies and information about ACBF members who have successfully started businesses were also shared, greatly empowering youths with business ideas and those intending to start or scale up their businesses. Glory be to the God of our Father for such a powerful and impactful business seminar!

Chivhu
The Chivhu August Children’s Conference, held from 20–23 August, was a resounding success, attracting at least 197 children and marking a season of profound spiritual breakthrough. To God be the glory! 30 children were baptized in water, 37 were filled with the Holy Spirit, and 11 received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, alongside numerous testimonies of healing and deliverance. Our speakers ministered powerfully, particularly in deliverance, including praying for a child who had persistent wounds on the lips, which began to heal on the spot.

The children were equipped through practical, life-shaping sessions on drug abuse, prayer, grooming and personal hygiene, salvation, media and technology, career guidance, and study and exam preparation. They were also encouraged to remain rooted in Christ and firmly grounded in church doctrine, resisting peer pressure, drugs, and negative influences as they pursue God’s purpose for their lives. May the seeds sown raise a generation that is spiritually strong, disciplined, academically excellent, and Kingdom-ready. Chivhu is raising a generation for the Kingdom! All the glory to the God of Ezekiel.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Don’t admire anything which you don’t know where it comes from. Let’s admire people who fear God.

The important thing in this church is not how much you pray or fast, but it’s how much the fear of God is, and not the fear of man. If you want to admire a person, don’t admire the gifts but admire the life of the person. Some preachers have very enticing words, but there is no fruit in their preaching. You need to have a discerning spirit so that you are able to know the right spirit……God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
