Dear Friends,
RUSSIA
We thank the God of our father, Apostle Professor Ezekiel H. Guti, for the power-packed services. We started with an online service where our Elder Mutemaringa encouraged the church to stick with Jesus referencing Ephesians 6. The total attendance was 21 members. Right after, there was an offline service with our brother Joseph, charging the youth to stand on the promises of God. We continue fellowshipping through midweek prayer bands, cell groups, GOQ, and BOT sessions. We thank God for the 2 new cell groups, one in St Petersburg under the leadership of Elder Mutemaringa and one in Moscow. As the Russian church, we commit to following the example of our Father Apostle, Professor Guti. Pray for us that we can win more and more Russians to Christ. Thank you for your prayers and support.
GUYANA
We give thanks to the God of Ezekiel for yet another blessed and fulfilling week. We acknowledge His grace and faithfulness in our lives and give all glory and honor to Him. As a church, we remain steadfast in our spiritual journey, continuing with all our midweek services. Each morning, the congregation gathers for devotion, seeking God’s presence and strength to guide us throughout the day. Additionally, the ladies remain committed to their Tuesday Prayer Reach, joining together online to intercede and uplift one another in faith. On Friday, Elder Coreen delivered a powerful and inspiring message, ministering the Word with great depth and conviction. The presence of God was evident as she shared insights that encouraged and strengthened the hearts of the believers.
On Sunday, the church gathered in great numbers, eager to worship and receive spiritual nourishment. The service began with an enriching and interactive Bible study from the book Two Ways of Knowing God, which deepened our understanding of our relationship with Him. This was followed by a dynamic and uplifting praise and worship session, where the congregation wholeheartedly expressed their love and adoration for the Lord. The message was delivered by Deacon Andra, who ministered on the powerful truth that the Word of God is His living self. He passionately encouraged the believers to be filled with the Word, to meditate on it daily, and to allow it to shape their lives. He reminded the church that the Word is God Himself, and we draw closer to Him by abiding in it. His message stirred the hearts of many, igniting a renewed passion for the Scriptures. The service was truly a time of spiritual revival, and the presence of the Holy Spirit was felt among us.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued prayers and unwavering support. May God continue to bless and strengthen us as we walk in faith and obedience to His Word.

We’re incredibly thankful to the God of our Father as 2025 began on high momentum, with fervent prayer during our ten days of prayer and fasting. Our online mid-week and physical Saturday services remain well-attended, and the church is filled with joy. Saturday services are concluded with fellowship, encouraging love and bonding among the saints.

The sessions are highly interactive, with practical experiences sharing among the saints. We were also blessed by Evangelist David Mabvuramiti’s message on the God of miracles in this church during our online Friday service. The church celebrated the fact that Egypt was among the top 15 countries supporting missions in 2024. our short-term missionaries, Pastors Prince and Tinashe Makaza, received the medal on behalf of the church.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE
The word of God gives you a better understanding. Make a way for the seed to find a place in you so it can grow.
You can’t see the kingdom of God with your own eyes. It’s a mystery; you don’t need to fast that it grows. Every year, you must change and be different. How come you are a FIF member, but you are doing a merry-go-round (going around in circles)?
Don’t try to make a shortcut. Don’t copy people, copy Jesus Christ. Our prayer must be different to show that we are living in the kingdom. I want your members to be blessed, and to get rich, and they must be different. God bless you.
We love you and are praying for you,
Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
