Dear Friends,

SADOP INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2025

We thank God for the incredible success of the life-transforming SADOP International Conference, held from August 28 to August 31, 2025, at the Ezekiel Guti International Conference Centre. The conference featured SADOP speakers who were mightily used of God, focusing on topics like “I Am About My Father’s Business,” “Taking Responsibility,” “Deliverance,” and “Drug Abuse,” encouraging pastors’ children to engage in God’s work.
The conference started on Thursday with 200 attendees, rising to 350-400 on Friday, 600 on Saturday, and 1,000 on Sunday. During the event, 45 people accepted Christ, and 12 ladies were delivered from period cramps. On Friday evening, we were honoured by the presence of our father, the presiding Bishop Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti. He emphasized the importance of SADOP carrying the legacy personally and celebrating past achievements while striving for growth. He encouraged us to have a passion for defending the legacy and to reflect on our lives and character to ensure they align with its purpose. His message highlighted the significance of preserving the legacy across generations.
On Sunday, FIF Ministries SADOP was highly favoured when our mum, the Senior Archbishop Dr Eunor Guti, graced us with her presence. She taught us why we attend conferences. She also highlighted the importance of carrying the legacy and the responsibility we as pastors’ children have towards it and the church. Our mother also urged us to respect our parents as pastors. Conclusively, she cemented what the presiding bishop said about carrying the legacy at the individual level and doing the work of the Lord as pastors’ children. SADOP will never be the same again.

MATURE GIRLS CONFERENCE

We give all glory to God for the resounding success of our recent Mature Girls Conference. This powerful event was made possible through the tireless efforts and support of Director Thandiwe Whaile, Pastor Victoria Tawodzera, the Board of Mothers: Letticia Nyambo, Bishop Mpanduki, Overseer Caillar Mhlandla, Rev Ranga, Overseer Gadzikwa, Elders Mandy Gomba, Elder Kudzi Chikutu, Elder Madzingira, and numerous friends of the ministry.
This power-packed conference witnessed remarkable growth in attendance, from 16 on Thursday to 69 on Sunday, testifying to God’s multiplying power and love. Many were delivered and set free from bondages, including sicknesses, spiritual attacks, and debts, with massive deliverance sessions from Thursday to Sunday. The teachings emphasized the importance of prayer, highlighting four crucial aspects: speaking in tongues, persistent prayer, vigilant night prayers, and fasting. The girls were encouraged to cultivate a deep prayer life and giving for total deliverance.
The conference featured impactful sessions, including Presiding Bishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti’s warning that desperation about marriage attracts spiritual husbands. Pastor Miriam Nyasha reminded us that marriage is good but not an achievement, emphasizing identity and worth in Christ. Dr. La-Verne Simukai’s Saturday afternoon session reminded attendees of key principles for mature girls, including personal development, grooming, and etiquette. The Senior Archbishop’s visit and ministry added a special dimension, encouraging service without desperation and urging the mature girls to serve God “in season and out of season, in the heat of the day, the heat of the fire, and even in the heat of the pot.”
The conference was truly a royal gathering, filled with the palpable presence of God. Many experienced freedom and transformation, and the legacy of our ministry continues to unfold. We are grateful for the profound impact of this conference on the lives of our mature girls, and we look forward to seeing the ripple effects of God’s work in their lives.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

What you have done today is exactly what I did. I was a sinner. I received Jesus as my Saviour, and what happened? I began to go to church. Flowers need to have their roots in water so that they can grow. Now, the seed of Jesus is in you; you need to hear the word of God every Sunday and during the week so you can grow. You go to church to hear and learn more. That’s what I did myself. I never thought I was going to be a preacher; I was just an ordinary person, but when I continued going to church, I was taught a lot and began to grow. Sometimes, when you go to church, some leaders don’t love you too much, but don’t worry about it. Go to church, hear the word of God all the time, and you will change. As for me, I have changed, my life has changed, and I am the happiest man in the world. I am so happy because I listen to the word of God and I read the bible all the time….God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
