Dear Friends,

Happy 65th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!!

RWANDA

We are filled with gratitude to the God of Ezekiel for allowing our beloved Mum, Senior Archbishop Eunor Guti, to visit Rwanda after 30 years! Her surprise arrival with a dedicated team sparked a powerful prayer retreat that has brought healing and revival to our nation.

On Saturday, the 15th, we experienced the joy of our first physical church service in a long time, attended by 127 people. In this blessed gathering, 6 individuals gave their lives to Christ! Mum emphasized the importance of continuing our father’s legacy, teaching us to imitate his character of forgiveness and love, and urging us to deal with offenses according to God’s word.

Her teachings reminded us that our struggles are spiritual, urging us to overcome any feelings of offense and focus on the greater battle against darkness. We thank God for this transformative visit; indeed, Rwanda is forever changed!

EGTC 3RD GRADUATION CEREMONY

We give thanks to the God of our Father, Professor E.H. Guti, for the successful 3rd Graduation Ceremony for the Ezekiel Guti Technical College (EGTC) held on November 14, 2025, at AMFCC! With 400 attendees, including Bishops, Overseers, and Ministry representatives, the event was a tremendous celebration.

Our Patron, our very own father, Presiding Bishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, capped 90 graduands, including two outstanding students who excelled in the Class 1 skilled worker examinations. He charged the students to be excellent ambassadors of EGTC, while Bishop Kapandura inspired them to become successful entrepreneurs. What an exciting day of achievement and hope for the future!

USA – SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

We give glory to Jesus for the successful launch of the new assembly in Sacramento, California, led by Pastors David and Miriam Soda in collaboration with Overseers Apostle Zenas and Dr. Cathy Marurama. Excitement filled the air as the team kicked off the weekend with a soul-winning spree, distributing flyers in the neighbourhood.

The weekend festivities began with a Glitz & Glamour Fellowship to celebrate 20 years of FIF California, attended by 28 adults, including someone who accepted Jesus during a heartfelt mass prayer led by the Apostle. The Sacramento Launch Service on Sunday attracted 30 adults and 6 children, showcasing a wonderful diversity of Americans, Jamaicans, Mexicans, and Zimbabweans. The service featured uplifting praise and worship from musicians from the Phoenix Assembly, while the youth played active roles throughout. Apostle Zenas shared insights on Baptism and the Kingdom of God, followed by Dr. Cathy’s compelling message on the New Birth in Christ. The atmosphere was electric, drawing in passers-by and hotel staff eager to hear the Word.

The true spirit of FIF was palpable as the Holy Spirit moved powerfully among us, and the love and unity were evident. With 14 adults attending on Saturday night and 20 adults plus 6 children on Sunday, many expressed their commitment to being part of this new church. We confidently declare that Forward in Faith, Sacramento, CA, has been birthed, and the church is marching forward, overcoming all challenges! Sacramento members are filled with joy that FIF is finally here!

SOLOMON ISLANDS

We are grateful for the grace and favour God has bestowed upon our church. Recently, we successfully completed the roofing of our mission house, bringing us to the finishing stage. A prayer retreat from November 7th to 9th was particularly impactful, led by Overseer Rueben Makosa. Many experienced healing and deliverance, highlighting the power of prayer.

We celebrated the opening of a new church in a remote province where believers once met in a house. On their first Sunday gathering, attendance reached 62, with 2 individuals repenting and 3 being baptized. This joyous occasion marked a significant milestone for the congregation, fuelled by their faith and collective spirit of worship.

Pastor Tawanda and Mandy continue to lead with inspiration, exemplifying the legacy of winning souls for Christ. Over a recent revival, 26 people accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour, with 7 rededicating their lives and 11 being baptized. In Auki, 81 attendees witnessed deliverance, and 9 repented, further demonstrating God’s mighty work in our midst. We praise God for His faithfulness in using our Overseer Rueben Makosa in a mighty way and thank you for your unwavering support and prayers.

MADAGASCAR

Glory to the God of our Father, Ezekiel, for the legacy is continuing in Madagascar with the anointing and power. History book page 9 (nine), which says “This mighty work of God, which He has started and greatly anointed with signs and wonders, must continue with the anointing followed by miracles.” We are witnessing incredible miracles and transformations within our church community, marked by healing, deliverance, and soul-winning.

• A businesswoman was healed from chronic heart disease after being discharged from the hospital, and she is now a dedicated member of FIF.
• A boy born deaf was miraculously healed, leading his entire family and neighbourhood to repent and join FIF.
• Another boy, previously crippled, has gained strength and is now learning to walk, which has brought his family into full-time membership with us.
• A family tormented by evil spirits found freedom through God working in FIF. Not only did they receive deliverance, but the father was also promoted at work the same week. Grateful for their transformation, the family sponsored the floor construction of our temporary church structure.

Daily morning glory prayers and strong ministry activities led by Overseers Phillip and Joyce Chipfakanya are contributing to the church’s rapid growth.

In Fort Dauphine, Pastor Vivian and Silvia Mahatoki are actively engaging in outreach, resulting in 42 couples participating in a fellowship, with 3 couples accepting Jesus Christ. We are also believing God for the construction of our main center in Antananarivo and for an English school on our newly acquired land. We express our gratitude to our mom, Senior Archbishop Eunor Guti, our father, Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, our mother, Rev. Nyasha Guti, and the entire church for their unwavering prayers. To God be the glory!

On November 9th, we were blessed by the powerful ministry of Pastors Denmark and Abby Mugutso during a hybrid service, with 13 attendees present physically and 12 online. Their visit strengthened and encouraged the congregation, leading to one person repenting and three individuals being baptized that week.

In our most recent Sunday service, the Holy Spirit’s presence was palpable as Deacon Mukere delivered an eye-opening message titled “Eyes That See.” After the service, believers joyfully fellowshipped, sharing testimonies and uplifting one another. The unity among the saints continues to solidify our spiritual foundation in Japan. Truly, the God of Ezekiel is with us, and we are experiencing steady growth and divine favour. Glory be to God.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

…You will start to be like a bird growing feathers little by little. So, all the stealing should stop today, wearing of stolen clothes should stop today, and eating stolen stuff should stop today. If you want the God who blessed me to bless you too, do what l did – I refused the stolen things. I started to investigate; at one time, someone brought me stolen things. I asked, “Where did you get it?” “How much did you buy it for?” From then no one gave me stolen things. I refused to receive stolen gifts because it attracts the spirit of poverty and bad luck. Today is our day, so we can start a new life in Christ Jesus… God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
