Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

AUSTRALIA ZONE 1 DEEPER LIFE

What an auspicious and glorious time we have had in the presence of the Lord during our Australia Zone 1 Deeper Life Conference 2026 from 24 – 27 September 2026. Indeed, the God of Ezekiel has been faithful to us; we are the LEGACY. It was a divine encounter that will remain engraved in our hearts for years to come. New Australia was highly favoured by God to receive our father and mother, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and Apostle Nyasha M. Guti, our mum, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, Bishop Dr. Steve Simukai and Int. Go-Quickly Director Dr. La-Verne Simukai, Drs. Winston and Dorcas Jaricha, Bishop Dr. John and Rev Bertha Mangiza, Pastor Hillary Mwale, Elder Dr. Raphael Nyamayaro and Elder Jeanette from Belize among other international leaders.
This was indeed a remarkably well-attended conference, with attendance growing from an astounding 327 delegates present in-person and 156 devices connected online on Thursday to an incredible 600 delegates present in-person and 326 devices connected online on Sunday, with 22 receiving their healing during the service. The teachings were powerful, inspiring and life-changing, challenging us to examine and re-evaluate our walk with God, remain firmly rooted in sound biblical doctrine, embrace holiness, strengthen our prayer lives and live in complete obedience to God’s Word. Our mum, the Senior Archbishop, emphasized the need for us to have a teachable spirit. We were reminded that Deeper Life is not simply an annual gathering but a divine call to a deeper commitment to God, a renewed passion for soul-winning and a life that reflects the character of Jesus Christ, keeping the legacy personal, practical and spiritual.

There were precious moments in the presence of God as believers poured out their hearts in prayer, surrendered their lives afresh and sought a fresh touch from the Holy Spirit. The atmosphere was filled with joy, expectation and an overwhelming hunger for more of God.

Miracles and Testimonies:

• Two people testified that their sense of taste had been restored.
• Three people testified of healing from kidney-related issues. One person stood in faith for his sister in India, who immediately called to confirm that she was no longer experiencing pain.
• Two people suffering from arthritis and persistent pain were able to walk up the stairs after prayer.
• Two people had their sense of smell restored. After being prayed for, they were able to smell the sweet fragrance of perfume.
• Eleven people testified of healing from tingling sensations and pain under their feet.
• One person who had experienced the sensation of a bone and another a nail underneath their feet testified of healing.
• A lady who had undergone three surgeries and was scheduled for a fourth stood in faith for herself and her daughter, who had the same leg condition. She received her complete healing.

All glory to the God of Ezekiel! Hallelujah!

SCHENGEN EUROPE – 3rd Edition Youth Camp

We thank the God of Ezekiel for a powerful 3rd edition of the Schengen Europe Youth Camp, held in Warsaw, Poland, from 24–27 September 2026. Evangelists and Overseers Reuben and Julie Guti from South Africa were the guest speakers. Youth from Austria, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy and Romania attended, while others joined online from Belarus, Switzerland and Bulgaria. A four-member delegation from the United Kingdom also attended. The Evangelists ministered powerfully, teaching the youth as legacy perpetuators to deal with secret sins, live holy lives, uphold the landmarks of the vision of ZAOGA FIFMI, and follow the walk of faith of our Father, the legendary Archbishop E. H. Guti, anchored on “Fear not, Sin not.” The sessions were accompanied by discussions, team-building activities and sports, and the youth also listened to a teaching from our legendary Father, Archbishop E. H. Guti, shared from Jerusalem.

Attendance increased from 102 on Thursday to 164 on Sunday, including online participants. The camp recorded significant spiritual impact: 4 people received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, 9 were baptized in water, and 26 received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. All participants were spiritually refreshed, dormant gifts were revived, and many received impartation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. One girl who could not walk was healed and, by Sunday, was able to walk in heels. Others testified of deliverance and experiencing the move of God during the sessions. The Schengen Youth has been transformed and is ready to set Europe ablaze for Jesus. Glory be to the God of Ezekiel!

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

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

Temptations are there; they want to make you fall in sin, but if you escape and you don’t sin, you are holy. In 1997, when l was praying in the mountains, God said l will pour out my blessings upon this church. God said l was pleased by the way my children fasted and prayed; some were sincerely praying and fasting with all their hearts. I said l went to pray for 10 days, but God appeared only in 2 days l don’t mean being full of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. I went to ask God about our way forward, and He said, there are natural things, earthly things which will always be there in life and have nothing to do with God, but l was asking about the spiritual things how we should walk. God was pleased, so he wants to pour out His blessings upon His children. I am asking you all of you not to sin deliberately because God said He wants to bless His Children in life, in families, at the workplace, but if you remove the other leg from the blood of Jesus, you are going to be attacked by the devil. But if we remain in the blood of Jesus, God is going to fight for us. God is going to fight for us…..God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
