Dear Friends,

Happy 65th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!!

ASIA BELIEVERS’ CONVENTION

We give glory and honour to the faithful God of our father, Prof. Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, and express our gratitude to Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, Presiding Bishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, and Reverend Nyasha M. Guti for their unwavering support and prayers. From October 2 to 5, we celebrated our inaugural Asia Believers Convention in Malaysia, a significant milestone that brought together believers from Malaysia, China, Thailand, India, Cambodia, and Japan, with virtual participation from Pakistan and South Korea.
The event was graced by Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, Apostle Dr. Steve & Dr. La-Verne Simukai, alongside Overseer Joram Rusere and Pastor William Chiwoerera. Attendance grew from 45 to 111 in person and from 23 to 69 virtually. The conference featured powerful messages on the Kingdom of God, prayer, and forgiveness. Archbishop Eunor Guti prophetically grounded believers, leading many to deliverance from unforgiveness. Apostle Dr. Steve Simukai stirred a wave of God’s presence, declaring tremendous growth for the church in Asia. A mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurred on Saturday night, with 13 filled with the Holy Spirit, and one soul was added to the kingdom.

Notable healings:

• 1 lady was healed from leg pain
• 1 lady who had been experiencing side pains for a while was healed
• 1 lady was healed from muscle pain in the arm.
• 3 people who were asthmatic since birth received healing

As the convention concluded, testimonies flowed, affirming lives transformed by the teachings, especially on forgiveness. We closed with a powerful prayer from Presiding Bishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, marking a revival in Asia.

NEW ZEALAND BELIEVER’S CONVENTION

We want to thank the God of Ezekiel for the just-ended New Zealand Believer’s Convention, which was both successful and impactful. Many people experienced significant transformation over the course of the Convention. Our Convention was graced by our father and mother, the Presiding Bishop Dr Joseph Joe and Rev Nyasha Guti, the Secretary General, Apostle Mishael and Rev Leticia Nyambo, Archbishop Elias and Bishop Prisca Soko, Bishop of Australasia Bishop Stanley and Dr Tafadzwa Masaka and Evangelist Thabani and Pastor Priscilla Mushambi. Some local speakers ministered alongside our main speakers.
Glory to the God of our Father! Grace upon grace was evident as our beloved mom, Snr Archbishop Dr. Eunor Guti, finally arrived in New Zealand on Saturday from the Asia Believers Convention in Malaysia. This moment marked a significant blessing for us as a nation, as she announced the refreshing that she experienced upon arrival as the saints welcomed her into the nation. The Convention had an incredible attendance ranking from 250 to 320 adults and children between 50 to 70. There were 12 people committed to be members of FIFMI, 17 people indicated that they needed water baptism, and 3 people gave their lives to the Lord.
The Convention began with the message of breaking curses, and we saw the God of Ezekiel at work, delivering many people, and the trend continued from speaker after speaker delivering messages that dealt with people’s issues. One remarkable session was when our mother, Rev Nyasha Guti, ministered, and there was a great session of inner healing that took place, and it led to one-on-one faith clinic sessions, which our father indicated to the convention that we are in the time of faith cleansing as they move from country to country. Sunday was the climax of the convention when our Mum spoke the message of us being a treasured possession, a peculiar people of His own, so therefore, we need not defile ourselves with the things of this world.
People enjoyed the fellowship even after dismissal at 1 pm, up until 8 pm. The people left the conference full of joy, a willingness to do the work of God, and being set free from the spirits that were tormenting them. New Zealand will never be the same again, and the legacy of our father, Ezekiel Guti, continues in New Zealand.

GREATER BYO GOOD NEWS DELIVERANCE EXPLO UPDATE

Greater Bulawayo was highly favored by God this week. Our mum, the Great Evangelist of Good News Deliverance Explo, Prof. Eunor Guti, organized for us a mega Explo from the 2nd to the 5th of October 2025 at the White City Stadium.

Thursday night was a remarkable start to a wonderful Explo with an attendance of over 2800. The day sessions had attendances of about 700 on Friday and reached a maximum of over 7000 on Sunday. 1722 decisions were recorded over the 4 days, and 466 of those were water baptized.
It was such an impactful event that saw over 30 Evangelists tackling various topics. There was so much demonstration of the power of God, and notable miracles were witnessed:

• A lady whose hearing was dull was completely healed,
• Two men who used crutches to walk were instantly healed and walked away without any support.
• A lady walked freely after years of difficulties

450 children and the youths attended the youth session on Sunday, during which they were taught to be people of good character. Overall, Good News Deliverance Explo brought revival to Bulawayo, and the city will never be the same.

ZIMBABWE

Chadcombe District – Ngaone Visit
The much-anticipated visit to Ngaone, the birthplace of the ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministry International (ZAOGA FIFMI), took place on the night of Friday, October 3, and early Saturday, October 4, 2025. Led by District Pastors Farai and Mollen Dzawo, a group of 49 congregants made the uphill journey into Ngaone, covering a challenging 20km drive from the Chipinge-Birchenough Bridge Road. Upon arrival, the team engaged in a powerful prayer session, connecting deeply with their spiritual roots. This location holds significant historical importance, as it was here in 1938 that a 15-year-old teenager prayed fervently until he received the divine message: “SIN NOT, FEAR NOT.”
Chadcombe District is actively seeking divine intervention for its various projects, particularly in constructing a new sanctuary to replace the current inadequate worship facility. The prayer group comprised individuals of all ages and ministries, reflecting a unified commitment to spiritual growth and community development.

Child Evangelism – Visit to Bindura – Chadcombe District’s Child Evangelism group visited Bindura, another pivotal site in the church’s history, on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Accompanied by five teachers, 59 children ascended the mountain to engage in prayer. The children offered heartfelt prayers focused on divine protection, success in examinations, and the continuous presence of God’s power within the church. The testimonies emerging from this visit are encouraging, showcasing the impact of the children’s faith and fervency.
Glory to the God of our father, Ezekiel, for the success of the 2 visits as He revived the Church to continue with the legacy.

Hurungwe Province
Our heartfelt thanks to the God of our Father, Ezekiel Guti, for successful crusades held from the 21st of September to 5th October 2025 in Hurungwe Province (Chiedza Region and Hurungwe Local Mother Church) under the leadership of Overseers Abedinigo and Raviro Gadzikwa, together with their Pastors W and G Fani and S and P Mutsunguma. Our crusade under EGEA was power packed with Evangelists Senior Evangelist Shakesphere Munemo and Evangelist Confirm Munemo Jnr., who were mightily used of God, preaching more on Salvation. A total of 838 new converts gave their lives to Christ, and 137 were water baptized.
Many notable instant miracles took place, including:

• 7 people who had hearing problems in one ear were healed instantly
• 1 woman who used to hear voices for 15 years confirmed that the voices had disappeared.
• A man who had a broken leg and was walking on 2 crutches was instantly healed and started walking
• A girl who had a broken leg since grade 3, and now she is 18 years was completely healed

• Another woman with chest pains for 5years was healed
• Many other people with back and leg problems were healed
• More than 15 ladies were healed from dysmenorrhea (period pain)
• Over 80 people were delivered from various demonic spirits

Gift impartation also took place on the last two Sunday services of each crusade, as a mighty thick presence of the Holy Spirit was present. We thank God for a powerful Crusade that brought deliverance, healing, and many souls to the kingdom of God. Hallelujah!!

MOI: Mashonaland Central Zonal Wisemen Conference
From Thursday, October 2, delegates from Bindura, Mt Darwin, Guruve, and Muzarabani Provinces began converging at the Bindura City Christian Centre for a transformative conference leading up to Sunday, October 5.
The program was electrifying, featuring dynamic speakers including Bishop C. Kapandura, who spoke on the Fear of God, and Overseer A. Zvizvai, who challenged men with “The Cry for a Wiseman.” Pastor V. Ndhlovu inspired the crowd with insights on the Vision and Objectives of the Ministry. Topics like Soul Winning, Developing Business Skills, and Women’s Perspectives added to the excitement.
The conference peaked on Sunday with 245 delegates in attendance. A powerful message called men to lead clean lives, prompting many to come to the altar to repent and rededicate their lives to Christ. We give thanks to the God of our father, Archbishop Ezekiel H. Guti, for such an eye-opening and life-transforming experience!

Zone 17 (Kadoma/Chegutu) Wiseman Conference
We give glory to the God of our father, Archbishop Prof Ezekiel H. Guti, for allowing us, as Zone 17 (Kadoma & Chegutu Provinces), the Men of Integrity from the 2nd-5th of October 2025, to have our 2nd Edition Zonal Wiseman Conference at Chegutu Local Mother Church. The Conference had its best attendance of a total of 305 men on the last day, while it kicked off with 103 delegates.
The Conference started on a high note, speakers flowing in the same spirit till the end. We are grateful to God for the anointed and life-transforming teachings of the International MOI Director Overseer Geshem Musvipa as he clearly outlined the Vision and Objectives of the Ministry as they were laid down by our father, Archbishop Prof Ezekiel H. Guti. Many other speakers were used by God to transform our lives as men of Chegutu and Kadoma. Faith clinic, healings, deliverances, awareness in legal matters, financial literacy, women’s perspective, and men’s sexuality were taught, and this brought about a great revival. One man gave his life to Christ, and three men received water baptism; praise be to God.
On Sunday, we were graced to have Bishop D. Gangata with us, blessing the Conference with the teaching about The Genuine Fear of God. Indeed, we witnessed a transformation of a man becoming a wiseman. Our Zone will never be the same again. We are in a unique Church because of the unique seed that we received from the visionary Archbishop Prof E.H. Guti. We thank God for changing the lives of the Wisemen of Zone 17. Indeed, the true Legacy of fearing God continues.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

When I pray, I don’t always continue to bring my problems before God. I go before the Lord with a grateful heart, saying l know Lord, you have great things for me. I know that you are going to prosper me, I know all is going to work out for my good. Then I see those difficult things becoming easier, I see those things which seemed difficult start to lighten up without asking for them. I started off with a bicycle, and the l said Lord, I need a motorbike and after 3 weeks, there l was going to preach with a motorbike. Step by step. I then got an old car, with a battery problem, overheating, but I endured all those challenges, then l see myself driving a new car today, ah, all glory be to God!…. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
