Dear Friends,

AMFCC PART-TIME

As AMFCC Part-time Schools Department, we are delighted to share that the God of our father, Prof E. H. Guti continues to develop and bless us beyond human imagination.
We successfully held our Annual AMFCC Part-time International Teachers’ Seminar, from the 31st of January to the 2nd of February 2025. The seminar saw a maximum attendance of 810 delegates, who came from all 19 Zones in Zimbabwe. We had representations from more than 20 countries both in-person and online. Our International Director, Dr J Mlambo, Bishop W Rupapa, Overseer T Vhurinosara, Overseer S Madimutsa, Rev E Zimbili, Dr K Mauye, Dr E Chizeya, DP E Nyatsvimbo, and Elder Negomo constituted our panel of facilitators and they were all mightily used of God.

The Presiding Bishop, our father Dr Joseph Joe Guti, and our mother, Rev Nyasha Miriam Guti graced our Seminar. Our father emphasized the importance of adhering to the ZAOGA FIF Bible Doctrine, and nothing else. He strongly advised all AMFCC Part-time teachers not to do their work in the flesh. Above all, teachers were challenged to first teach themselves, deal with their characters, and not only be interested in teaching others.
On the last day of the seminar, we experienced the profound move of the Spirit of God, and many were delivered from various ailments.

INTERNATIONAL FEMALE PASTORS PRAYER RETREAT

Glory be to the God of Ezekiel, who allowed 240 International Female Pastors from 33 nations to go to Bindura Prayer Mountain for All Nations for the prayer retreat from the 28th to the 29th of January. We had a great time enjoying the intense presence of God as we also received great teachings from anointed, powerful women of God. We are thankful to God for allowing our Mum Senior Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti and our mother Rev Nyasha Guti to be with us. We were indeed revived and refreshed. Glory to God.

CAYMAN ISLANDS

God is faithful and we continue to see his mighty hand in the Cayman Islands. We thank God for the midweek services which are running successfully including the monthly Ladies Go Quickly fellowship which brought 22 women online and in person to attend. Pastor Tina taught about Spiritual Gifts.
Our Sunday service had 47 people in attendance. Elder Syntra Chipfiko shared the word and encouraged the church to continue to endure and for everyone to run his or her own race. She also encouraged the church to set aside every sin that easily entangles or hinders us in our lives. We continue to pray for the Cayman Islands church and thank God for all He continues to do. We also pray for the leaders in the local church and the international church that the Lord will continue to increase their wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the word of God.

GUYANA
We thank the God of Ezekiel for another blessed week and give all the glory to Him. Our midweek services continue as the church gathers for morning devotion, while the ladies meet online for their Tuesday prayer session. On Friday, Elder Sherryann delivered a powerful message, ministering the Word with great impact. During the Sunday service, we had an engaging and interactive Bible study that explored the question, “Why do we pray?” We were blessed with a powerful word from Elder Otis, who spoke about spiritual discipline. His message led to a mighty move of prayer, stirring hearts in worship. We thank you for your love and prayers.

INDIA

Andhra Pradesh Assembly – We give all glory to the God of our Father Ezekiel for another blessed week! Our online services, which began in October 2024, have seen a steady increase in attendance, with God doing wonders in our midst.
Since the inception of our online services, we have been under the leadership of Deaconess Hazel, whose guidance and direction have been invaluable to us.
We are excited to share that we now have wonderful physical place of worship. Glory be to the God of Ezekiel! We successfully conducted our first physical service last Sunday, which was power-packed and well-organized by our leaders. The service featured Brother Panashe’s insightful Bible study on the Kingdom of God, followed by a powerful message from Deaconess Hazel on the same topic. We had a total attendance of 39 students, a clear manifestation of God’s doing. We enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship and appreciate your continued prayers. As we await the official opening of our Assembly by Pastor Gilchrist, we also pray for a pastor to shepherd us here in Andhra Pradesh.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

The word of God gives you a better understanding. Make a way for the seed to find a place in you so it can grow.
You can’t see the kingdom of God with your own eyes. It’s a mystery; you don’t need to fast that it grows. Every year, you must change and be different. How come you are a FIF member, but you are doing a merry-go-round (going around in circles)?
Don’t try to make a shortcut. Don’t copy people, copy Jesus Christ. Our prayer must be different to show that we are living in the kingdom. I want your members to be blessed, and to get rich, and they must be different. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,

Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
