YOUNG PASTORS CONFERENCE 2026 – ZIMBABWE

YOUNG FEMALE PASTORS CONFERENCE 2026
We give glory to the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for a successful Young Female Pastors Conference held from the 8th to the 13th of September, where we witnessed a powerful move of God through a powerful line-up of speakers on various topics, including Salvation, Character, Kingdom of God, Discipleship, Giving, Parenting, Personal Development, Grooming, and Women’s Health, to mention a few. 440 attended in person, while 25 attended online. As Young Female Pastors, we were joyous throughout the conference, and we were reminded to uphold our calling and use the window that God has given us to serve Him in our generation.
We were graced by the presence of our Mum, Archbishop Prof. Eunor, who reminded us to maintain a heart of forgiveness so that the devil never has anything in us. She went on to play a video of our legendary father and Visionary Archbishop, Prof Ezekiel Guti’s teaching, where we were reminded that we are stewards of the mysteries of God and must therefore be faithful. Our mother, Apostle Nyasha Guti, hammered on submission, encouraging the Young Female Pastors to nurture a heart attitude of submission among one another, and especially to our husbands. She referred to our Mum, Prof. Eunor, as our greatest role model. Rev. Leticia Nyambo shared on prayer and led the house in a powerful moment of prayer, while our International Go Quickly Director, Dr La-Verne Simukai, shared passionately on having the heart of a shepherd and the burden to love and serve the flock of God.

On the last day of the conference, we were joined by the Young Male Pastors and received a teaching from our legendary father, Ezekiel Guti, from the archives, followed by our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, who then sent us to our respective places with a word of exhortation and benediction. We give glory to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti for a God-conference. We were truly blessed, renewed, and refreshed to continue with the legacy.

YOUNG MALE PASTORS CONFERENCE 2026
We give glory to the God of our father, Archbishop Prof Ezekiel H. Guti, who allowed us, as the Young Male Pastors from the 8th-13th of September 2026, to have the Legacy Perpetuators Conference hosted by our father, the Archbishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti. The Conference was attended by 285 delegates physically, while 24 delegates logged on via webinar.

Our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, attended the conference throughout, encouraging and admonishing young pastors to be obedient and be true disciples in everything. Our Mum, Senior Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti, came to love us and left a life-changing message, and we also got to hear a message from archives shared by our father, the Visionary Archbishop E. H Guti, on being a real leader. We are grateful to God for the anointed and life-transforming teachings of our Secretary General, Bishop Mishael Nyambo; Deputy Secretary General Bishop Dr Steve Simukai; Archbishop E.Z Soko; our Mother Apostle Nyasha Guti; and Go Quickly Director Dr La-Verne Simukai. This great cloud of witnesses and many other speakers were used by God to transform our lives as Young Male Pastors. The conference centred much on marriage restoration and having strong, solid marriages as peace and love in the family.

On Sunday, the young male pastors joined the young female pastors at the AMFCC Tabernacle to wrap the two conferences together. We thank the God of Ezekiel for changing our lives as Young Male Pastors. Indeed, the true Legacy of fearing God continues.

ALGERIA – Summer Conference

The inaugural Algeria Summer Conference was successfully held from 1–3 September 2026 at St Augustine Basilica in Annaba, bringing together 44 students from 9 cities for spiritual strengthening, teaching, prayer, fellowship, leadership training, and deliverance. We were blessed by the presence of Elders Victor and Lorraine Nyajeka from the UK, who taught leadership using books written by our father, Archbishop Professor Ezekiel H. Guti. The conference was officially opened by Deputy Secretary General Bishop Dr. Steve Simukai, who connected via Zoom and encouraged the youths to uphold sexual purity, holiness, Christian values, and their relationship with God. Elders Drs. Shammie and Kumbirai Chinomona also joined via Zoom from Morocco.

We are greatly excited and thankful to the God of Ezekiel for the Sunday service we had on 13 September 2026. 35 souls (15 men, 11 women, and 11 children) gathered joyfully to worship the Lord. The church was powerfully exhorted on the theme “Day of Judgment” from Revelation 22:10–12 and Matthew 24:44, with a strong reminder that we are living in the last days and must be ready to give an account before God. The message challenged us to arise, stay spiritually awake, and boldly preach the Good News to those who still need to hear it. We are excited for what God is doing and continue to pray for church growth and for God to provide land for the church. To God be all the glory!

Jaricha shared powerful testimonies from the mission field, highlighting the challenges and victories of those sent to foreign lands and the importance of supporting them. Dr. W. Jaricha challenged the church to give God our very best, reminding us that our giving should involve sacrifice and honour, following King David’s example: “I will not offer to the Lord that which costs me nothing.” We rejoice and give glory to God for 2 men who gave their lives to Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. The service then moved into a mighty segment of God’s power and presence, and these are some of the outstanding miracles and testimonies:

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.
