Dear Friends,

Happy 65th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!!

FEMALE PASTOR’S CONFERENCE

The period from 9 to 14 September 2025 marked a truly unforgettable point in the lives of ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministries International female pastors as they travelled from across all continents to gather for the Annual Female Pastors Conference. The Conference was held at the Ezekiel Guti International Conference Centre (EGICC), located at AMFCC in Harare, Zimbabwe. This sacred gathering indisputably served its primary purpose — to rejuvenate, equip, and empower female pastors for the continued work of the legacy.
The conference was graced by the presence of our Mum, the Senior Archbishop Dr. Eunor Guti, our Mother Rev. Nyasha Miriam Guti, Rev. Leticia Nyambo, the Go Quickly & Tell International Director, Dr. La-Verne Simukai, and Bishop Prisca Soko, who all also ministered powerfully as part of the speaker line-up. The conference recorded an impressive 979 registered in-person delegates and an additional 62 online participants. Each day began with Morning Glory prayer at 4:00 AM, which proved to be electrifying and deeply transformative. The manifest presence of God was evident in every session, and prophetic words were received from 17 people during the course of the conference.
Our Mum delivered a profound, Spirit-filled teaching on the mandate of a female pastor, emphasizing the processes that help achieve God’s divine purpose. We were refreshed and challenged, prompting renewed commitment to our call. Key topics included parenting, prayer, self-development, IT (especially social media), marriage, the Holy Spirit, grooming, pastoral conduct, and deliverance. Several speakers shared powerful testimonies about real-life challenges in ministry and personal growth, resulting in healing and upliftment for many. On Saturday, focused workshops for Girls of Quality, Single Ladies, and Married Women equipped pastors for their higher calling. The evening’s international presentations featured vibrant performances from pastors across countries, creating an electric atmosphere of joy that fulfilled the Scripture: “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)
On Sunday, male pastors joined us at AMFCC for a powerful service, concluding the pastors’ conferences. After our mum shared on the covenant and the need to have a burden for the work, the Presiding Bishop, Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, emphasized the need to uphold the ancient landmarks set by Archbishop Dr. Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti. His message, centered on “Fear not, sin not,” urged us to guard against the love of women or men, the love of money, and pride—key pillars for preserving our legacy. We give all the glory to the God of our father for His unfailing faithfulness, His goodness, and His mighty visitations throughout the conference. The legacy is indeed continuing. The legacy is indeed secure. The legacy is safe. To God be all the glory!

SEYCHELLES

We are grateful as we recently bid farewell to Student Pastors Desmond and Batiraishe Mupokosa, who spent five transformative months with us. Their powerful teachings and healings strengthened believers and encouraged many to join various departments, fostering a sense of community at Forward In Faith. During their stay, the pastors conducted home visitations and offered prayers to those hospitalized. Five individuals were baptized, and one new-born was dedicated to the Lord, showcasing our spiritual growth.
The Men’s Ministry has become more active, holding weekly prayer meetings and hosting events like a recent barbecue attended by 20 men. A health session led by Dr. T.L. Gwande provided valuable insights, emphasizing the importance of our apostolic vision. The Go Quickly and Tell Ministry continues with Tuesday prayer sessions, focusing on the lives and families of participants. Our church also holds fellowships after Sunday services to promote unity.
As we look ahead, we are earnestly praying for long-term pastoral support to continue nurturing the growth of Forward In Faith in our community. Thank you for your prayers and support.

What a joy it is to gather as Nevis FIFMI and lift up the Name of the God of Ezekiel!

In St Kitts, we continue to thank God for His grace. We continue with our services online. We pray for an open door to get a place of worship.

GUYANA

We thank the God of Ezekiel for yet another blessed week. Midweek services continue. On Sunday, the church celebrated Legacy Big Sunday and Pastor Fanuel’s 50th birthday jubilee with special presentations, a youth drama, singing, and testimonies. The event also marked the safe return of the pastor from his missionary work in Trinidad and Tobago. The atmosphere was filled with joy as we honoured our beloved pastor. This was followed by uplifting praise and worship, after which Pastor Fanuel delivered a powerful message on “Miracles” from the book on Local Church and Life of Miracles. The service concluded with prayers for those troubled with memory loss (15 individuals) and three others experiencing side pain. There was a mighty move of God in the midst of the service, and many were left praying as the presence of the Lord filled the room.
We remain deeply grateful for your continued prayers as we move forward with the construction of our church building.

On Friday, 5 September, we experienced a profound sense of God’s presence as we fellowshipped with Him during our worship night. Pastor Shepherd delivered a powerful word on the power of worship.
Kuala Lumpur Bangsar – On Sunday, 7 September, a big Sunday hosted by MOI and Go Quickly and tell ministries saw a great turnout. We were favored to have Student Pastor J and Mrs M Chiza from Australia as our guest speakers. Student Pastor Jackson delivered a life-changing message in the Word of God and the power of words. There was fire in the house, several people received word of wisdom, and many were prayed for healing and deliverance.
Miri Sarawak – On September 7, FIF Miri Sarawak opened its doors to a group of young people who had been waiting for two months to meet in person in the new building. There was joy in the service as the landlady was also in attendance. A powerful word was shared, and a fellowship ended the service. The church in Kuala Lumpur, together with the new church, bought chairs and fans for the new building. We thank you for your prayers as the church continues to grow, and we ask that God will provide all that is required to be in place.

ZIMBABWE

Chiredzi Zone 19 – Youth Zonal Conference
There was a great move of the Spirit of God as young people from Chiredzi, Mwenezi, and Chikombedzi Provinces gathered for their annual Zonal conference at Tshovani Local Mother Church in Chiredzi from 11-14 September 2025. Distinguished speakers, Elders P & P Murove and Elders R & V Jangano, delivered inspiring messages on various topics, including Salvation, Fear of God, the three Books/stones, Church Doctrine, personal development, prayer, giving, and the Holy Spirit.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Happy people get jobs; those who smile get jobs. Only the happy people get a promotion. I want to repeat this: only happy people get a promotion. Some of you spend the whole day lying on the lawn; there are no jobs in that lawn that you are sleeping on. Walk around, find something to do, go and volunteer your skill to someone, help others, then you will find yourself with a job…. God bless you

We love you and are praying for you.
