OCTOBER 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

NEW ZEALAND DEEPER LIFE CONFERENCE 2026

What a glorious and unforgettable time we had in the presence of the Lord during the New Zealand Deeper Life Leadership Conference 2026, held from 1–4 October. We thank the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness. New Zealand was highly favored to host our father and mother, Archbishop Dr Joseph Joe and Apostle Nyasha M. Guti, our Mum, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, DSG Bishop Dr Steve & Dr La-Verne Simukai, Drs Winston and Dorcas Jaricha, Bishop Drs Stanley and Tafadzwa Masaka, Pastor Thabani Mushambi, Overseer Abisha Forest, Pastor Pheim Guti, and other international and national leaders. The conference was well attended both in-person and virtually, reflecting a deep hunger for the presence of God and His Word.

The powerful teachings challenged us to examine our “Legacy Bags” and ask whether we are truly continuing what our legendary father entrusted to us. We were encouraged to make the legacy personal by living it, protecting it, and passing it on through prayer, holiness, soul-winning, service, and commitment to the work of God. Our mum, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, emphasized the importance of having a teachable spirit—being willing to learn, receive correction, grow, and remain humble. The church was also encouraged to use their talents to build the house of God and strengthen cell groups through caring for people, building relationships, and following up souls.

Powerful testimonies, healings, deliverances, and a mighty move of the Holy Spirit marked the conference. People testified of healing from shoulder pain, neck pain, foot pain, plantar fasciitis, arthritis & joint pain, heart, asthma, allergies, and skin conditions, while many were delivered from bloodline spirits and unforgiveness. There was also a powerful manifestation of the Holy Spirit, with many experiencing laughter and joy. Indeed, the LEGACY continues—it is pure, it is personal, and it is our responsibility to carry it forward with faithfulness, humility, prayer, holiness, and a teachable spirit.

UK YOUNG GENERATION NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2026

What an incredible and memorable weekend! The UK Young Generation National Conference, held from 25th–27th of September, brought together more than 429 delegates under the theme of maintaining the legacy in an age of rapidly advancing technology. We were blessed by CE International Director Pastor Dope, National CE Director Pastor P. Burke, Pastors Fadzai Zhuwawo and Lisa Dongo, National Chairman Elder Shumirai Chishato, and a great team of teachers. The children were equipped on salvation, righteousness, relationships, sexual purity, social media, drug abuse, peer pressure, obedience, and honouring parents.

God moved mightily! Many children gave their lives to Christ and rededicated themselves, while others experienced deliverance from spirits of suicide, rejection, anger, and other afflictions. There were remarkable testimonies of healing; children were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, and many received counselling and restoration. Even some parents experienced deliverance through the prayers offered for their children.

The conference was filled with joy, fun, sports, and KMD provincial dance competitions. We thank God for His protection, with no accidents or safeguarding issues reported. The legacy is alive, the children are on fire, and the future is bright! To God be all the glory!

GUYANA

We give praise and thanks to the God of Ezekiel for His goodness to us in Guyana, as we continue to hold fast to the teachings of our Father, Ezekiel. On Tuesday, the ladies gathered for a time of prayer, and on Friday, the church gathered for service. On Sunday, Bible Study was led by our Pastor and was based on the books Tithes, Two Ways of Knowing God, and Prosperity That Comes Through Obedience. He encouraged believers to give their tithes faithfully and to give freewill offerings wholeheartedly unto the Lord.
This was followed by the Word on the Kingdom of God. He emphasized the importance of seeking God and living in obedience to Him. The teaching from the book Hidden Treasure also encouraged the church to come together in unity. The congregation joined hands and prayed for their desires and for the blessings they desire to receive from God. We give all the glory and praise to God for His goodness and faithfulness, and we thank you for your continued prayers and support.

INDIA

Andhra Pradesh State – The Greater Andhra Believers Convention, held from 1–4 October 2026, was a powerful and blessed time in the presence of God, centred on the theme “Manifestation of the Sons of God.” The conference brought together believers from all the assemblies across the state.

We were blessed by ministers including Pastor Joseph Mabikwa, Brother Munashe Gwesu, Deacon Chris Ndagurwa, Deaconess Rongai Rafemoyo, Deacon Takudzwa Chipimo, Deaconess Panolia Ngirande, Deaconess Tariro Nemhara, Deacon Panashe Muchape, Deaconess Precious, and Elder Hazel Makazhu.

We experienced a powerful move of God. Those who had backslidden were prayed for and restored, those struggling to forgive were ministered to, the sick were prayed for and received healing, and some were filled with the Holy Spirit. We thank the God of our Father for every life that was touched, every testimony, and every servant who contributed to the success of the conference. Greater Andhra has been blessed! To God be all the glory.

MAURITIUS

We are grateful to the God of Ezekiel for the season we are experiencing in Forward in Faith Mauritius under the leadership of Overseers Petros and Cynthia Gresof. Over the past several weeks, Overseer Petros has been ministering on true discipleship, encouraging the church to become true disciples of our Father, the legendary Archbishop Professor Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, and to connect wholeheartedly to the God of our Father.

We thank God for a recent outreach near a university in Flic en Flac, where we shared the Gospel, and for the four precious souls who gave their lives to Jesus Christ last Sunday. We also witnessed outstanding miracles, including a young man who was instantly healed after breaking his left tendon and a woman who was healed from severe knee problems and was able to walk, jump, kneel, and climb stairs without her knee braces.

For the first time, Forward in Faith Mauritius launched and successfully worked Missions in one month, exceeding our expectations. We thank God for enabling the saints to embrace the vision and blessing behind working Missions. Indeed, Forward in Faith Mauritius will never be the same again! To God be all the glory!

ALGERIA

We give glory to God for His faithfulness and goodness to us in Algeria. We thank Him for the continued growth of our Friday service, which had 34 participants. Elder V. Nyajeka led a powerful Bible study on “Regeneration for the Emerging Generation,” reminding us that we serve a living Jesus and encouraging us to examine our hearts and understand what it truly means to be born again. Brother Tawanda also shared a powerful word on “Seasons,” encouraging us to recognize and make good use of the season we are in while preparing for the next.

Our Monday prayer meeting also grew from 19 to 30 participants. On Tuesday, Elder Victor Nyajeka continued the New Believers’ Bible Study online with four new believers, with Brother Blessing serving as the interpreter. We also thank God that our 5 AM Morning Glory prayers continue daily on Zoom, with an average of 10 participants. We give God all the glory for the growth in prayer, fellowship, and the work in Algeria.

ZAMBIA

We give thanks to the God of our Father, Apostle Ezekiel Guti, for the successful 3rd ZAOGA Forward in Faith University Graduates Fellowship (UGF) Conference held from 1–4 October 2026 at the Ezekiel Guti International Revival Centre. The conference brought together university students from across Zambia, with attendance growing from over 100 on Thursday to more than 700 on Sunday.
Pastors Trymore and Cynthia Konye were the guest speakers, with Mr. Sony Zulu, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank Zambia, as Guest of Honour.

Many students were delivered, 75 were baptized in the Holy Spirit, and 18 were baptized in water. We appreciate Rev. Godfrey and Overseer Joyce Chipoya for their guidance, prayers, and support. The National Church Administrator also challenged the young people to embrace the legacy as personal, practical, peaceful, and pure, by living a life worthy of God’s calling. To God be all the glory!

MALAYSIA

We appreciate the faithfulness of the God of Ezekiel in our nation. Our midweek services are well attended, as are our early morning prayer sessions held every day. From 1st October, FIFMI Malaysia GOQ joined the International Girls’ Month of Prayer and Fasting. On Friday, 2nd October, we held an all-night prayer service dubbed “Victory Night,” where we had a great time in the presence of the Lord. Our local pastors ministered, and it was truly a night of deliverance and transformation.

On Sunday, 3rd October, we had a phenomenal Big Sunday, with assemblies and ministerial choirs participating joyfully. Our main speakers, Elders Tapiwa and Chido Mutyavaviri, shared powerful feedback from the recently concluded Australia Zone 1 Deeper Life Conference. The church received the Word with gladness.

Meanwhile, the church in Miri, Sarawak, also had a blessed Sunday service. We enjoyed fellowship after the service, followed by a youth service. We thank you for your continued prayers and support.

CAMEROON

We continue to thank the God of our Father, E.H. Guti, for strengthening us here in Cameroon, despite the situation of churches being closed. In the Ebolowa Assembly, the capital city of South Cameroon, attendance was encouraging, with 29 people despite heavy rains and the challenges of travelling by motorcycle. We received two powerful testimonies from young ladies who had backslidden but recently returned to church. One was very sick and unable to sit for more than five minutes, but after prayer, she was completely restored and is now feeling well. The second testified that she recently discovered that her father, whom she believed had died before she was born, is alive and may have no other child besides her. After praying for direction on where to worship, she felt led to return to the church where she first encountered God.

The Douala Assembly is also continuing to operate. We are planning to visit the assembly this month as we work towards putting in place a new National Board to renew the registration process in accordance with Cameroon regulations. We kindly ask for your prayers as we trust God to open doors and grant us favour in this process. We give thanks to God for His faithfulness and goodness to us.

BARBADOS

We are grateful to the God of Ezekiel for a blessed Sunday Service on October 4th, 2026. Devotion and prayer were led by Deaconess Crystal Francis. Powerful testimonies were shared, followed by a wonderful time of praise and worship. The presence of the Holy Spirit was evident in our midst, and the atmosphere was so glorious that it felt as though the angels themselves were singing and ministering among us.

The Word of God was delivered by Elder Jermaine Brown under the title “Our Bodies Belong to God.” Elder Jermaine reminded us that our bodies do not belong to us but are temples of the Holy Spirit. We have been bought with a price—the precious blood of Jesus Christ—and therefore, we must be mindful of what we allow into our bodies and how we use them, knowing that we belong to God.

ZIMBABWE

Harare North Platinum Province
Harare North Platinum Province Go Quickly Ministry, under the leadership of Overseer Joslin Ganyiwa, held a powerful Kingdom Jewels Ladies Monday-to-Tuesday All-Night Prayer on the 28th of September, attended by 482 women. The gathering brought together 13 pastors from Harare North Province and Domboshava District, as well as ladies from different churches and provinces.
The event was graced by Guest of Honour Dr Cathy Marurama, alongside Mama Bishop Chabarwa and Pastor Chipo Khama from the USA, among other esteemed guests. Pastor Chipo Khama, together with Mama Bishop Chabarwa, ministered powerfully on deliverance, ministry and spiritual breakthrough, followed by prayer and impartation. The ladies were strongly encouraged to cultivate a consistent and prayerful lifestyle. Dr Cathy challenged the women on the importance of giving, encouraging them to develop generous hearts and understand the principle of sowing and reaping, and also to become channels through which God’s blessings flow to others. The importance of tithing was emphasized, with the women challenged to change their measure of giving and embrace a lifestyle of generosity.

A major highlight of the night was a powerful call to deeper prayer and seeking God, drawing from Matthew 17. The women were reminded that some situations require deeper spiritual engagement and were encouraged to establish a private place of prayer and intentionally seek God.

The all-night prayer continued until 4:00 a.m., culminating in an intense time of prayer and spiritual ministry. The gathering left the Kingdom Jewels Ladies spiritually renewed, strengthened, and charged to pursue a deeper life of prayer, with many experiencing deliverance, impartation, and spiritual breakthrough.

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.
