OCTOBER 2024

Dear Friends,

Happy 64th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!

SOLOMON ISLANDS

Glory be to God of our father Ezekiel for remembering women in Solomon Islands. On Saturday 19 of October 2024, we hosted Ladies Big Saturday where our very own International Director Dr La-Verne Simukai shared a life transforming word. Three ladies gave their lives to Christ. The attendance was 102 in-person and many others attended on line from all over the world. She encouraged us to be virtuous women who keep on improving in all aspects of our lives. A virtuous woman has a busy hand not busy mouth. She also taught on the need to value the importance of working home talents and benefits from the Covenant that our father Ezekiel Guti gave us. Women were left charged up and will never be the same again. Glory be to the God of Ezekiel.

BELIZE

Midweek meetings were well attended including our 6 Bible study groups. On Sunday, we had 26 people in attendance throughout our Sunday services despite the rain due to a Tropical Storms in our area causing some flash flooding. In Punta Gorda Pastor Diane delivered a compelling teaching on “The Four Pillars of Mission,” drawing insights from the book Mission and Missionary Calling by Apostle E.H. Guti. We are thankful to the God of Ezekiel who is giving us grace to escape the brand of Hurricanes and continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in areas being affected in other states of America.

GUYANA

We want to thank God for one of our believers who graduated from the Texlia Medical School, where she is now a qualified doctor. The women hosted our Sunday service; everyone participated. We had powerful praise and worship and also three powerful speakers. The word was spoken by Pastor Debra, who taught us from the book of History and Talents written by our father when she was teaching how talents are done in our church and encouraging women to work with their hands. Then people were prayed for to start their own businesses and for God to bless them in whatever they touched with their hands. We thank you for your love and prayers.

QATAR

We are grateful to God for a wonderful week and well attended midweek services. Our Friday main service which was a special worship service hosted by the Praise and worship team. We had time to pray for one woman who was sick in the hospital and she was delivered and healed, glory be to the God of Ezekiel. We heard the word from Pastor Edmore Chijena he shared about the integrity of the word of God and encouraging us to stay in the word and believing in it.
During our main service on Friday, we also launched 2 new cell groups bringing them up to 3 in total, we believe our church is going to grow through these cell group. A lady was critically ill in the ICU, and her condition seemed hopeless. Pastor Edmore laid hands on her, praying for healing, deliverance and restoration in the name of Jesus she manifested. Two days down the line she was discharged currently she is at the Mission house.
Glory be to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti. We ask for the continuous intercession for the church growth as well as the financial growth. Thank you so much for supporting always.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Ps 51:17 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit , A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

James 4:6-7 “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

People are looking for someone who has the anointing. When you improve your gift/ministry people will come. It pleases God when He sees your heart hungry. You can have a lot of money but when your inside is dead you don’t enjoy it. When you have the kingdom of God then you can enjoy the money God gives you. Your character has to change for better so that it pleases God. The way you used to talk. I changed 3 times, God helped me. Keep changing until your life begins to bless people…God bless you

We love you and are praying for you,
Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
