Dear Friends,

UNITED KINGDOM

Grace and favour located United Kingdom, yet again, as we welcomed our father and mother Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti and Pastor Nyasha Guti into the nation, since the home going of our father, Archbishop Professor E.H. Guti. At least 1 500 people travelled to the UK EGCC, National Centre, despite the adverse weather conditions, in order to see our father as well as hear from God through him. There was a great cloud of witness including Pastor Leticia Nyambo, Apostle Enoch Tigere, all 3 bishops of UK, UK pastorate, and the church of God at large. The auditorium was filled with unspeakable joy as people sang and danced celebrating the arrival of our father in the nation. The UK KMD wowed the crowd with their dance performance. There was a thick presence of the Holy Spirit following the powerful ministration by the praise and worship team. Our father, Apostle Dr Joseph Joe Guti, was mightily used of God, teaching from The Book of History as well as Precious Things. He further went on to give the church of UK, a word that was specific to our nation, from our father Archbishop Prof E.H.Guti, quoting directly from baba who wrote (in his book Precious Things) addressing us, his children in the nation of UK, touching on problems that we face in our nation: at home, work or church and how to deal with them according to the doctrine of the church. A great deliverance took place after the powerful word, as the entire congregation thronged the stage to be prayed for: people were healed and set free. One person gave their life to Jesus Christ. Our father, encouraged people to go and testify what the God of Ezekiel had done for them during this service. He prophesied that people were going to celebrate what God had done for them, like David did. UK continues to be strengthened and continues to move forward in faith after such a powerful word. We will not remain the same!

POLAND

We bless the God of our Father as we received Pastor Blessing Mutingwa and Pastor Patrick Cavanagh to Poland. In Warsaw we had powerful Bible study Pastor Mutingwa sharing on Knowing the God of our Father and Pastor Patrick wrapping up, encouraging the saints to love the Lord. We had a powerful praise and worship followed by the powerful word from Pastor Mutingwa teaching on Walking in the covenant blessing during this transition and Pastor Patrick taught on knowing your God in the days of troubles. We had a deliverance session and 10 people were prayed for and were delivered. Four people gave their lives to Jesus, we had an opportunity for water baptism and 4 people got baptized in water. We experienced the great move of God with more than 53 persons in attendance including 10 new believers attending for the first time. The church is growing in number and spirit; we strongly believe that Warsaw will never be the same again. In Lublin, we had a wonderful time in the presence of the Lord. Despite snow falling for the past week, making it difficult to travel, 32 attended the service. We had 3 first-time visitors, 2 Nigerians and 1 Ugandan. Deacons were elected during the service. There was jubilation as we had a good PA system. Deacon Panashe preached on speaking to dry bones to revive that which is dead in our spiritual lives. We continue extending our gratitude to the leadership and saints for keeping us in prayers. We are forever grateful. Poland will never be the same.

JAPAN

The God of our father Ezekiel continued faithfully with us in Japan this week. We continued deep in prayer every evening up until the end of November. We celebrated victory in faith, knowing that our God had heard our prayers. On Sunday, our Bible study facilitator spoke about the covenant that God made with Ezekiel Guti, and how it will stand forever for those that choose to follow his teachings. Our pastor then preached about Thanksgiving – how and why we need to be thankful. We are thankful for your prayers for us, and the church that started with only 4 people in the first service has grown to be a group of 22 people. We give God all the glory, Hallelujah!
