Dear Friends,

JAPAN

We give glory and honour to the God of our Father, Archbishop Prof. Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, for His continued faithfulness in Japan. We are witnessing God’s hand at work in this land as we grow His church. This Sunday, we had our very first physical service in Osaka. The atmosphere was full of joy as we celebrated and thanked God for His faithfulness.
We had a total attendance of 17 people —13 in person and 4 online, including 4 visitors. Elder Modeline Nharaunda delivered a powerful message on the faithfulness of God. The presence of God was felt throughout the service.
Following the service, we enjoyed a wonderful fellowship that strengthened our unity and love within the church. Truly, the God of Ezekiel is with us in Japan. The seed is germinating. Glory to God.

ALGERIA

We praise the God of Ezekiel for His protection over Algeria. Our Friday service was filled with powerful testimonies that showcased spiritual growth. We received a strong exhortation from GOQ, reminding us that “those who are led by the Spirit are the children of God” (Romans 8:14). The church is deepening its knowledge of the God of Ezekiel and embracing the vision. Elder Victor Nyajeka encouraged us to join the “Chitima/Train” of Forward in Faith and actively engage with our church teachings as we move forward together. Thank you for your ongoing prayers as we continue our Monday prayer meetings. The Legacy continues!

BOTSWANA

North West Province, under Overseers Lekang and Lesedi Gaothobogwe, managed to launch Easter conference preparations. ln Maun region, we had an attendance of 60 adults and 26 children. There were some dramas performed by the youths. Powerful forerunners from the youth preached, and Elder Lydia Manenji preached on the blessings that come to us through giving and obedience. In Ghanzi region, the Easter launch was done. There were many games that were done by the youth ministry to fundraise for the conference. As a Province we are ready for the conference. Glory be to God of Ezekiel.

CHAD

This Sunday, we will continue our Biblical study on the theme of discipleship, focusing specifically on the importance of obedience. We also take a moment to acknowledge our dedicated evangelist, who has recently witnessed the healing of his niece from evil spirits. In total, we gathered 28 people for our worship service, including 10 men, 8 women, and 8 children. Help us to pray for our church’s growth, for a dedicated worship space, and for peace in Chad as a nation.

ZIMBABWE

AMFCC Part-Time Schools
As the AMFCC Part-time Schools Department, we are grateful to the God of our father, Prof. E. H. Guti, who continues to grow and develop our department. We successfully held our Annual AMFCC Part-time International Teachers’ Seminar from the 30th of January to the 1st of February 2026 at the Ezekiel Guti International Conference Centre. The attendance grew from 596 delegates to 935 delegates, who came from all 19 zones in Zimbabwe and representatives from more than 15 countries, including Australia, the UK, South Africa, the UAE, the Schengen region, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, and Malawi, both in person and online.
Our International Director, Dr. J. Mlambo, along with Bishop W. Rupapa, Dr. E. Chizeya, Overseer K. Magirezha, Pastor J. Dhlakama, Dp. C. Sarukore, Elder W. Chiyoka, Elder C. Mapurisa, and Elder Negomo constituted our panel of facilitators, and they were all mightily used of God. The atmosphere was electric during the impartation session! Delegates were powerfully laid hands upon, igniting their passion to become anointed teachers of the Word.
The grand finale was on Sunday, where the dimensions shifted to another level, as we welcomed our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, and our mother, Rev. Nyasha Miriam Guti! Archbishop Dr Joseph Guti’s message resonated deeply, reminding us that AMFCC Part-time is a private school of ZAOGA FIF. We adapt to the teachings—we don’t cut the garment to fit us, but cut ourselves to fit the garment! His call to action from Deuteronomy 29:9 and Philippians 4:9 urged everyone to practice what they learned and to stand firm against false doctrines.
Our department is truly growing from strength to strength, and this seminar was a testament to our vibrant legacy! Let’s keep the momentum going!

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Psalm 141 vs 3, “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.”
Why should I set a guard over my mouth? So that when I open my mouth, the words that come out should be words that heal and build someone.
Proverbs 21 vs 23, “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from trouble.”
It is very easy for me to guard my mouth and set a guard over my mouth when we are here at church, but when I get back to my house, where I am free, where I say I am the manager in this house, I speak anyhow. In so doing, I am losing the godliness that I had brought from my prayer closet, where I was praying. As a result, there will be no godliness in the home, you find yourself fighting, and even the children will run away because of the words that you speak. As they run away, they find solace elsewhere because they cannot bear the words their parents are speaking…. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
