Dear Friends,

GUYANA

We express our gratitude to the God of Ezekiel for His unwavering faithfulness and the abundant blessings in our lives. The Go Quickly Ladies have remained steadfast, continuing our Tuesday prayer meetings with dedication. This past Sunday, we engaged in an interactive Bible study from the book “Guidance Rules and Policy,” focusing on the vital topic of soul winning. Following this, we enjoyed a vibrant session of praise and worship. Pastor Fanuel delivered a powerful message, sharing insights from the Deeper Lives Conference and specifically addressing deliverance from the spirit of fear.

We concluded the gathering with prayers for those struggling with fear. Thank you for your love and continued prayers as we grow together in faith.

Under the leadership of Bishops UM and MU Uanguta, along with National Church Admin Prosper and Tekna Mutumbwa, FIF Namibia held a powerful Talents Conference this weekend, marking the beginning of efforts toward a new National Center in Windhoek. Distinguished speakers included Apostle Dr. Zenas Marurama, Dr. Catherine Marurama, and Pastor Chipo Khama from the USA. The conference featured leadership teachings from various resources, including the “Talents Book” and inspiring testimonies of God’s work in different nations.

Believers from various assemblies and provinces joined online. The atmosphere was filled with contagious joy and exceptional generosity, with significant financial contributions and donations of cars, livestock, and furniture for the center’s construction. We extend our gratitude to Sr. Archbishop for her contributions. We believe that the generosity witnessed in the Macedonian Church will also be reflected in Namibia, as described in 2 Corinthians 8:1-3.

NIGERIA

We thank the God of our father for another fruitful week. The church in Nigeria is experiencing growth and transformations, thanks to God’s faithfulness. All our services within the week went well across the nation. The youth hosted the services to launch the Easter conference; it was a great service in Lagos and other centers. It attracted 12 new youths, who also participated in the youth service in the evening. The Youth Ministry is thriving, with progress in spiritual growth, leadership, and unity. The recent “Youth Get-Together” had 33 attendees at Victorious Assembly Lagos, promoting fellowship and bonding. Easter Conference prep is underway, with a successful Easter Launch. The youth department appointed new leaders for various roles.

The church is confident in the God of our father and looks forward to greater achievements in 2026. The women had a wonderful Big Thursday, which was colorful at Victorious Assembly Lagos. Speakers spoke on talents and prayer; they had fellowship after the service. “The God of Ezekiel is working out great things for our nation, Nigeria. Hallelujah.

We experienced a transformative week of prayer with impactful messages from various speakers, including DP Sibo Kanyandu and Elder Obert Maziviza. On February 7, Pastor Vice Maziviza led a leadership seminar that equipped our leaders through interactive teachings, fostering clarity and transformation. Sunday began with a training session on unity and humility, followed by a Bible study on biblical giving, which shifted our understanding significantly. Pastor Rachel Maziviza’s sermon, “The Cry of Faith That Moves God,” was accompanied by a powerful move of the Holy Spirit, touching and transforming many lives. We give all glory to God for His work among us and believe Forward in Faith Mauritius will be forever changed.

SOLOMON ISLANDS

We give glory to the God of Father Ezekiel H. Guti for an incredible Big Sunday on February 8! Our celebration began with powerful prayer, uplifting testimonies, and inspiring choir performances. Three elders ignited the spirit of giving for our Mission House project, creating an atmosphere ripe for generosity.

After a joyful time of giving, our praise and worship led the congregation into an intense session of worship, filled with the Holy Spirit. The highlight was Deacon Paul Lugha’s impactful message on “Faith that Endures,” drawing from our history and teachings on knowing God.

We also had a dynamic Friday service with 15 participants, where our Elder encouraged young people to have personal experiences with God, referencing Psalm 23. Total attendance was 258, with three people giving their lives to Christ. Many received prayer, healing, and deliverance. Despite our national leaders being away, the church continues to thrive in faith and vision. The legacy continues, and we are grateful for your continued prayers!

ALGERIA

We give glory and honor to the God of Ezekiel for a powerful Friday service. About 15 participants logged in for the service. Our Elder spoke to us about the journey of a young person, with the key scripture taken from Psalm 23. He emphasized that a young person should have personal experiences with God—experiences that can change one’s life. We can learn from David, who was entrusted with his father’s sheep and never returned home with even one missing. As young people, let us spend time on our knees so that we may be filled with God. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Our Mum, the senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, graced the event on Sunday with a word of encouragement based on praise and worship, and on reviving the practice of singing in the Spirit as was previously done, so that the Legacy Continues. She also taught about the importance of giving time and listening to the Holy Spirit when God wants to speak to us. People bubbled in tongues, and God spoke to us. Glory to God.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Psalm 141 vs 3, “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.”
Why should I set a guard over my mouth? So that when I open my mouth, the words that come out should be words that heal and build someone.

Proverbs 21 vs 23, “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from trouble.”
It is very easy for me to guard my mouth and set a guard over my mouth when we are here at church, but when I get back to my house, where I am free, where I say I am the manager in this house, I speak anyhow. In so doing, I am losing the godliness that I had brought from my prayer closet, where I was praying. As a result, there will be no godliness in the home, you find yourself fighting, and even the children will run away because of the words that you speak. As they run away, they find solace elsewhere because they cannot bear the words their parents are speaking…. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
