Dear Friends,

Happy 64th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!

MIDDLE EAST DEEPER LIFE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE AND BELIEVERS’ CONVENTION 2024

It is with great excitement and gratitude to the God of Ezekiel for remembering the Middle East region. We received for the first time, together, our mum the senior Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti, our father the Presiding Bishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti and our mother Reverend Nyasha Guti, as well as the Deputy Secretary General Apostle Dr Steve and Dr La-Verne Simukai together with Overseers Drs Winston and Dorcas Jaricha. We also had Dr Raphael Nyamayaro as one of our speakers.
God highly favoured us and we witnessed the God of our father at work during the conference. This was declared by our mum Prof Eunor during an interview on her arrival that God was going to do a new thing, a lot of cleansing was going to happen, and those who did not know their purpose will have clarity. The Deeper Life Leadership conference ran from Thursday and Friday where attendance rose from 89 to 158 leaders, who were being equipped with various topics. The speakers shared powerful and life-transforming teachings that will elevate the Middle East to greater heights. With delegates coming from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE we received many powerful teachings to help us remain rooted in the doctrines of our church, Deeper life attendances rose to as high as 358 delegates whilst the believer’s convention rose to 707 members. After the teachings, there was time for faith clinic and many people had a chance to pour out all the things that were troubling them and great emotional healing took place.
Throughout the weekend, there were powerful testimonies of healing and deliverance, as we were experiencing the mighty presence of God. Some notable testimonies included:

A girl with ulcers testified of how she was instantly healed
A man with hip pain testified of instant healing
A lady who had a lump in her breast and had water coming out testified that the lump was gone
A lady who was told by the doctor that she had a cyst in her breast testified that the cyst was gone
Many people were healed from migraine headaches
Marriages were prayed for.
28 people received Jesus
25 received the Holy Spirit
We give glory to God who strengthened and allowed our mum and our father and mother to greet each and everyone after the service. As the Middle East, we will not remain the same. The legacy continues!

We give thanks to the God of Ezekiel for another week of blessings. Ladies’ reach online for Tuesday prayer is one of our ongoing weekly initiatives. Child Evangelism hosted the Sunday service.
The church supported them as they ministered, and five influential speakers talked about the kingdom of God. Strong praise and worship, memory verses, and songs from CE children. The two runners were teachers who went into further detail about the kingdom while urging them to be obedient to guardians, parents, and other individuals. It was a moving service, with the second speaker discussing forgiveness, which made way for the third speaker, who emphasized the need to bring children to church. The sick were prayed for. We thank you for your love and prayer as we build our church here in Guyana.

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.”

Keep changing until your life begins to bless people. When you give time to God He will speak to you. As long as you decide you don’t want to sin, God sees the heart. Someone can struggle with sin in the body but God sees the heart.
Men don’t do stupid things in front of your wife, you will lose dignity
When God uses someone, the news goes everywhere. One person can bless our churches – when someone is gifted, all of us will enjoy it. When God uses you humble yourself, if you don’t then God will take out His hand upon you…God bless you

We love you and are praying for you,

Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
