OCTOBER 2026

Dear Friends,

HAPPY 66th ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!

MIDDLE EAST DEEPERLIFE AND BELIEVERS CONFERENCE

We thank the God of our father, Ezekiel Guti, for His faithfulness during the Middle East Deeper Life Conference and Believers Convention held from 15–18 October 2026. We were honoured to host our parents, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, Apostle Nyasha M. Guti, and Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, alongside other senior leaders and international guests. Delegates attended from the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Attendance grew from 114 on the first day to 711 in-person and 248 virtually on National Big Sunday.

The conference featured powerful, life-transforming teachings on leadership, the fear of God, unity, love, church doctrine, landmarks, marriage enrichment, and maintaining a teachable and disciplined spirit. Our father led an impartation and anointing session for leaders, resulting in the refreshing of spiritual gifts. Our Mum also emphasized the importance of unity within the region.
The ministry of Dr. Winston Jaricha and Dr. La-Verne Simukai was accompanied by testimonies of healing, deliverance, and the mighty move of the Holy Spirit. People testified of freedom from spiritual oppression and healing from various conditions, including body pains, migraines, breast lumps, and other ailments. Six people were baptized on Sunday, and the assembly choirs were another highlight.

The region also reaffirmed its commitment to honoring our parents and preserving the legacy of our legendary father. Additionally, the fifth Middle East AMFCC Part-Time Graduation was successfully held, with 14 students graduating under the leadership of International Director Rev. J. Mlambo. Archbishop Dr. Joseph Guti and Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti congratulated and capped the graduates. We give all the glory to the God of Ezekiel for a successful and life-changing conference.

AUSTRALIA ZONE 2 DEEPERLIFE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

Western Australia held its Zone 2 Deeperlife Leadership Conference in Perth from 8–11 October 2026. We thank the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness. This was the fourth edition of the conference and the first to host our Mum, Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti. We were also graced by the presence of our father, Head Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti; our mother, Apostle Nyasha Miriam Guti; DSG Bishop Dr. Steve Simukai; and Drs. Winston and Dorcas Jaricha. They were accompanied by Overseer Abisha Forest, Pastor Pheim Guti, and Pastor Carol Guti.

The first miracle of Zone 2 Deeperlife was witnessing our Mum do what she had seen our father do. She came to Australia on a single-entry visa for the Zone 1 conference and, upon leaving for the New Zealand conference, declared that she would return for Zone 2 Deeperlife. Just as she had said, she returned in time, with her visa having been granted within 24 hours! The conference was well attended by elders, deacons, and lay leaders. Attendance grew from 222 delegates on Thursday to an incredible 653 at the State Big Sunday.

The teachings focused on repairing, correcting, directing, and reviving leaders to walk in the right way. Our Mum grounded the church in the importance of having a disciplined and teachable spirit. She encouraged leaders to develop the ability to forgive from the heart, not merely from the mouth. Our father, the Head Archbishop, taught that Deeperlife comes to make the tree good and the fruit in our province good. Teaching from the books of our legendary father, he emphasized the importance of obedience, the need to preserve the legacy of holiness, and the importance of being alert to false teachings on grace. He concluded the conference by teaching on the secret of our church, which is the anointing and power of obedience. He also emphasized the importance of true discipleship and understanding our church Bible doctrine.

Our mother, Apostle Nyasha, reminded us of the church landmarks, pattern, and church Bible doctrine. Bishop Dr. Steve emphasized the importance of walking in the things we have been taught. He drew from a message preached by our legendary father on the greatness of salvation, reminding us that we preach the full Gospel of Jesus Christ, followed by signs and wonders. Overseer Dr. Winston Jaricha was mightily used in the demonstration and manifestation of God’s power through healing and deliverance. The atmosphere was filled with the miraculous and prophetic anointing. We give glory to the six people who gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

Outstanding testimonies and miracles:

• Twelve people testified of healing from various ailments, including stomach problems, shoulder pain and leg pain.
• One elder who came to the altar limping, having been unable to wear shoes for several weeks because of severe foot pain, testified that all pain in his foot and shoulder had gone after prayer.
• Another elder who had been preparing to undergo an X-ray for shoulder pain testified of healing.
• Eleven people received the gift of speaking in tongues.
• Leaders received prayer and were delivered.
• People experiencing disturbing dreams were prayed for and delivered.

We thank the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness and the manifestations of His power throughout the conference. Leaders were encouraged and equipped to serve with renewed zeal and to carry forward the legacy of our father, Archbishop Professor EH Guti. To God be the glory.

THAILAND

We thank the God of our father, Prof. E. H. Guti, for His faithfulness. Thailand and Cambodia were privileged to receive a special visit from our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, and our mother, Apostle Nyasha M. Guti, following our Week of Breakthrough prayers and fasting.

On Tuesday evening, our parents met with church leaders at the mission house. Our father taught unity, obedience, and the importance of following the church’s pattern and decrees. He emphasized the need for a personal fear of God, a willing spirit, a good heart, and a shepherding attitude while preserving the legacy.

On Wednesday, a special service was held for all believers at Mövenpick Hotel. Our father encouraged the church to remain obedient to God’s Word, trust Him in times of difficulty, maintain unity, and avoid sin and rebellion. He reminded us that God hears our prayers and encouraged us not to abandon the church during challenging times. The service concluded with an altar call, individual prayers, and blessings for a life of miracles. We are deeply grateful to our parents for their love, fellowship, and spiritual encouragement. All glory be to God!

We praise the God of Ezekiel for His goodness to us here in Guyana. During the week, services continue on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Following the teaching, the believers were encouraged to give towards the work of missions, and they willingly gave what they had.

Pastor Fanuel then ministered the Word of God on the topic “A Life of Miracles,” followed by prayers for the believers. The service continued with an award ceremony to honor the children who wrote the NGSA and CXC examinations. The service concluded with Holy Communion.

We thank God for all that He has done and continues to do in the Cayman Islands Church. Midweek intercessory prayers continued this week on Monday and Wednesday. Go Quickly also held its weekly online ladies’ prayer meeting on Tuesday with Pastor Tina.

On Friday, the church was privileged to welcome Bishop Caleb and Pastor Tina to the Cayman Islands. On Sunday, 18 October, we had 51 people in attendance, including 10 visitors. Pastor Tina led the Bible study, after which we had a couple of testimonies about what God has been doing. Bishop Caleb preached the Word of God and then prayed for the church. We were also privileged to have a baby dedication for twins whose birth was a testimony of God’s mighty hand.

We continue to pray for Deaconess Gloria and for the healing of church members who are not feeling well. May you continue to pray for the Cayman Islands, that the church will grow in numbers, wisdom, and in the knowledge of God’s Word. Additionally, we pray that the Lord will continue to guide our leaders and increase their wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and revelation.

Rich teachings on marriage were shared, and indeed, marriages were healed, revived, and restored.

On Sunday, 18 October, we held a special hybrid service in Kuala Lumpur. Overseer Tekna passionately taught on the topic “Having a Good Heart,” while Overseer Prosper powerfully preached on “Having a Positive Mindset and Forgiveness.” The church was greatly encouraged by the Word of God. There was reconciliation, and a large number of people were prayed for, including members of the church in Miri, Sarawak. There was great joy in the camp. As usual, we had fellowship after the service. Later in the evening, the elders, pastors, and Overseers Mtumbwa had dinner together, during which leadership wisdom and valuable insights were shared. Thank you for your prayers and support.

On 18 October, the church held a Big Sunday featuring performance appraisals, a celebration of two members who got married, and the launch of the Missions Season.

Don’t spend too much time singing choruses; you need to have time in prayer in your local churches, and this power is going to be with you. In your local church, respect one another. Don’t despise him if God uses someone you don’t trust; just believe it’s God using him. Don’t despise the gift of God in your church. Don’t despise one another; allow God to use anyone even if you don’t like them. Respect one another in your local church; respect everybody. Don’t talk bad about your brothers and your sisters. God doesn’t do things the way you think. God is God. There are some people you think are bad to God; they are good. There are some people you criticize, but to God they are important…..God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
