Dear Friends,

Happy 65th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!!

TODAY’S WOMAN INTERDENOMINATIONAL CONFERENCE

We are filled with immense gratitude as we reflect on the extraordinary Today’s Woman Interdenominational Conference, held from September 3rd to 6th, 2025, at the vibrant Glamis Arena Showgrounds! This historic event brought together women from diverse churches and denominations, including the EFZ, ZCC, UDACIZA, and many others, uniting hearts across Zimbabwe and around the globe. The week was saturated with noise from the buzzing headlines in newspapers to lively discussions on radio, TV, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram; the excitement was palpable! Women from all walks of life gathered with a common purpose—to be delivered, inspired, empowered, and uplifted.
The presence of our mother, Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, the visionary behind Today’s Woman, was a true blessing. She spoke powerfully about unity and the importance of reading the Bible to grow one’s faith and strengthen the spiritual man. Her message led to an altar call where over 200 women were filled with the Spirit and the gift of tongues! With over 25,000 interdenominational women in attendance, the impact was profound—more than 17 souls were saved, marking a significant moment of spiritual revival.
The conference also featured a high-powered delegation of local and international speakers. Alongside doctors, lawyers, and specialists, these remarkable women shared insights on various topics about women in all aspects. We also hosted the Women in Leadership and Talent Show, following uplifting worship music. The highlight was a stunning drama performance that emphasized the journey of an inspired, empowered, and delivered woman who encountered Christ through the conference. A special performance by the Zimbabwe Female Prison inmates added depth and inspiration to the event.
At the Pre-Conference Dinner, we were honoured by the presence of Hon. Senator Monica Mutsvangwa, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Women’s Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development. She passionately spoke about women empowerment and the opportunities available through the Women’s Financial Bank and SMEDCO. On the same note, Evangelist B. Chidoori fed the congregation with a spiritual buffet.
We closed the conference with an electrifying worship session featuring the incredible Sinach and our talented local Gospel ministers. The night was ignited with joy and praise, marking a profound and spectacular finale to an unforgettable conference. All glory to the God of Ezekiel!

GREATER HARARE AND NORTON PROVINCES

We are deeply grateful for the blessing from the God of Ezekiel during our Legacy Mega Big Sunday on September 7 at the Glamis Arena in Harare. We welcomed our father, Presiding Bishop Apostle Joe Joseph Guti, and our mother, Pastor Miriam Nyasha Guti, with an attendance of over 30,000 people. The arena was filled with jubilation as we celebrated this grand occasion, joined by SG Apostle M and Pastor L Nyambo, DSG Dr S and Dr L Simukai, along with various Bishops and Apostles.
The event featured sterling performances by Kingdom Music Dance, drum majorettes, and the Prisons’ ministry choir, alongside musicians like Pastor D Mabvuramiti, Sir Benjamin Rupapa, and others, who led us in heartfelt praise. Guests from countries such as Jamaica, India, Bahrain, and many more—including Belize, Nigeria, Australia, and the USA—came to celebrate with us, sharing profound testimonies of the great work God is doing in their nations.
Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti reaffirmed that our father, Apostle Joe Guti, was chosen by God, and assured him and Reverend Miriam that the church will follow their leadership as we did with our father Ezekiel H. Guti. In his life-transforming message, Bishop Guti explored the legacy’s purpose through church history and scripture, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding it. Following his teaching, 148 individuals dedicated their lives to Christ, 62 underwent water baptism, and 2000 sought deliverance and healing, marked by a profound manifestation of the Spirit of the Lord. We give glory to God; the Greater Harare and Norton Provinces will never be the same again.

UNITED KINGDOM BOYS CONFERENCE

We thank the God of our Father, Ezekiel Guti, for the life-transforming Boys Conference held in the United Kingdom. With great joy, we testify to God’s faithfulness as over 122 boys gathered to be empowered and equipped for the Kingdom. Our gratitude extends to our National BOT Director, Pastor Blessing Mutingwa, and the team of BOT Advisors for their unwavering support. The program was engaging and tailored to meet the boys’ needs, featuring an all-boys music concert, workshops, the BOT Legacy Football Tournament, testimonies, fellowship, and powerful ministry.
We were honoured to have Apostle Mayemu as our main speaker, alongside Elder Tatenda Gudyanga. Their teachings addressed relevant topics for young men today, drawing many into healing and deliverance. On Saturday evening, Apostle Mayemu taught on controlling the mind through the Holy Spirit, filling the auditorium with His presence. Many boys were immersed in the Spirit, with some staying late as they experienced God’s glory. Elder Gudyanga emphasized practicing righteousness and shared impactful testimonies, while the boys’ forerunners inspired their peers with powerful preaching. The testimonies highlighted the ministry’s influence on shaping young men’s lives in this part of the world.
Sunday brought great joy as the boys praised God, celebrating the powerful weekend in their Sunday best.

We thank the God of Ezekiel for yet another blessed week. Midweek services went well.

On Sunday, Pastor Fanuel led the Bible study, teaching from both the Bible and the book Integrity of God, encouraging us to personalize God’s Word and make our requests known to Him. The session was interactive and uplifting, as believers shared testimonies of how God was working all things together for their good. This was followed by a time of praise and worship. Deacon Andra then delivered a powerful message on the integrity of God’s Word, reminding us that the Word speaks to us just as Jesus did, and encouraging us to continually read God’s Word. We concluded with prayers for all the children and teachers returning to school this week. We also remain deeply grateful for your continued prayers as we move forward with the construction of our church building.

We thank the God of our father, Prof E.H. Guti, for a brand-new month! The month of August started with a bang, as we embarked on a week of breakthroughs themed Kingdom Increase Week. We fasted and prayed from Monday to Friday, meeting virtually for morning glory from 4 am to 5 am and evening services from 7 pm to 8 pm. Our programs were comprised of prayers and declarations in all areas of our lives and the word of God to encourage and fuel us. What a powerful week! In addition to this, a number of our believers enjoyed quality time with our pastors, as they visited the Nan province in the north and the Krabi province in the south, to fellowship through home visits.
Our Kingdom Increase Sunday service was attended by over 60 people, including 2 ladies who joined us for the first time at the Mövenpick Hotel in Bangkok. We learnt about how the Holy Spirit empowers us to be better and effective soulwinners during bible study. Pastor Learnmore Nyanzara rounded up the week’s teachings with an eye-opening preaching on how kingdom increase speaks to spiritual increase and not necessarily physical increase. The service ended with an altar call as people surrendered their lives and situations to God. Thank you for continuing to pray for us as we pray for you, too.

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.
