EZEKIEL H. GUTI ASIA MINOR LEGACY TOUR – 3RD EDITION 2026

To the God of Ezekiel be all glory and honour for His faithfulness! From 18–27 August 2026, pilgrims from the USA, UK, Australia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe gathered in Asia Minor, Turkey, for the 3rd Ezekiel H. Guti Asia Minor Legacy Tour. We were greatly blessed to travel with Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, Mother Africa Rev. Leticia Nyambo, and leaders and believers from different ministries.

Following the footsteps of our Father, Archbishop Professor Ezekiel H. Guti, who followed Apostle Paul, we visited the seven churches of the book of Revelation, chapters 2–3, and other significant biblical sites. Through the teachings from our Father’s book, “The Journey of the Apostle and Servant of God Ezekiel Guti to the Seven Churches in Asia Minor and Patmos”, our faith was strengthened, and we were reminded of the importance of preserving the legacy. We visited the tombs of Apostles Philip and John, where many were spiritually stirred, and some testified of miracles. We also shared Holy Communion at Miletus, as our Father Ezekiel did many years ago in the same place.

Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti encouraged every ZAOGA FIFMI member to prepare for the 2027 Legacy Tours, emphasizing their impact on our spiritual lives and walk with God. Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti reminded us of the blessings of experiencing the places our Father wrote about, while Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti challenged us to remain faithful to Jesus, asking whether we would still hold onto Him if our money, education, or health were taken away. The youths were also greatly blessed and committed to bringing more young people for the 2027 tour. Indeed, the legacy continues! To the God of Ezekiel be all glory and honour!

SADOP MINISTRY ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2026 – ZIMBABWE

The SADOP Ministry Annual Conference 2026 was successfully held from 27–30 August 2026 at EGICC (AMFCC). Attendance grew from approximately 300 delegates at the beginning of the conference to about 1,200 on Sunday. We were greatly honoured by the presence and ministry of our Father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti; our mother and Big Sister, Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti; our Mum, Senior Archbishop Dr. Eunor Guti; Bishop Anna Maoko; Bishop Caleb Mashushire; Bishops Drs. W. and G. Rupapa; and other speakers whom God used mightily. The conference featured powerful teachings, Faith Clinic, one-on-one counselling, healing, deliverance, Holy Spirit and impartation sessions. We thank God that 159 people rededicated their lives to Him, while 60 were filled with the Holy Spirit, and many others received spiritual, physical, and emotional healing.

Senior Archbishop Apostle Dr. Eunor Guti emphasized the importance of becoming true disciples with teachable spirits, allowing ourselves to be taught, corrected, and transformed so that we can carry the legacy forward. Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti challenged SADOP to value the divine privilege and responsibility of being pastors’ children, honour their parents, and uphold the spiritual heritage entrusted to them. Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti ministered healing and taught on true discipleship and perpetuating the legacy. He challenged SADOP to become owners, not visitors, of the church, to avoid speaking negatively about it, and to take responsibility for protecting and advancing it.

The conference carried a strong message of true discipleship, humility, honor, teachability, ownership, and perpetuating the legacy. SADOP left spiritually revived, strengthened, and renewed in their commitment to God and the ministry. We sincerely thank our parents for investing in the lives of SADOP and making this life-transforming conference possible.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Fear of God By Archbishop Prof E H Guti, 1997, Harare:

If ever there is an elder or a pastor who worships God and mixes with charms at the same time, they will not prosper. All those people should move away from that quickly. If they don’t want to stop it, let them leave the church. This is the church of God. It is not the church of Baba Guti; it is the church of God. It is the church of Jesus Christ. Ezekiel Guti is just a servant of Jesus Christ only, but the church belongs to Jesus Christ. Don’t play with the Church of God; you will enter into problems, problems that are even worse than death. Don’t play with the church of God; don’t play with the things of God. Fear God, fear God, fear God. Don’t worship God lying deliberately; fear God. Temptations are there that want to make you fall in sin, but if you escape them and don’t sin, you are holy…..God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.

Apostle Drs. Steve & La-Verne Simukai
