Dear Friends 

Ladies and gentlemen we thank God for His grace to celebrate yet another Christmas. This is the doing of the Lord and it is marvelous in our eyes. Many others wanted to see it but were not able to. Why not stand up and give glory to God! We are in the last week of the year 2016. Looking back at the year we have seen God’s faithfulness. As we gather for our prayer meetings this week, let’s take time to praise God for the many things He’s done for us this year including this Christmas season. Remember praise coming from a clean heart sends a sweet smelling aroma to the Lord.  Hallelujah!!
                    
Barbados
Kingdom greetings from FIF Barbados!  We thank God for your prayers, as we are witnessing the church growing spiritually.  Love and joy continues to be seen amongst the saints during all church meetings. An elderly couple surprised the team by inviting them to their home and giving them Christmas gifts after they said God spoke to them. It was a truly humbling experience.  
Our Sunday Christmas service was full of joy.  There were powerful testimonies of the great things God is doing in the lives of His people here in Barbados.  It was an atmosphere of joyful dancing, singing and gladness.  The children’s ministry did an item presentation, followed by a beautiful song.  The service ended with a fellowship after a message on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Attendance for the week was; Monday  Bible Study 12 local adults, Wednesday 7 local adults,  Friday night prayer, 7 local adults and Sunday 15 local adults and 4 children.

Miami
There was much joy at the retirement home and the mission house on Sunday. We would like to thank God for our sister Trish who sponsored the ministry by providing 40 plus gifts for every person. Also the Forward In Faith family provided food for a cookout after the church service.  20 people attended at the retirement home and 6 attended at the mission house.

Nevis

Compliments of the season to our father and mother and FIFMI family around the globe. We thank the God of our father here in Nevis for his grace and mercy that he showed us this week once more. Regardless of the Christmas fever that gripped this island we thank God for making it possible that we attended our midweek meetings. On Monday prayer attendance was 9 and Wednesday Bible study attendance was 13. The weekend was different, we attended church with one of the island’s main charismatic church. Pastor David Mabvuramiti gave a powerful testimony with great singing that church’s local pastor invited people who had eyes problems to be prayed for by Evangelist Dr. Phil and the God of our father showed up with a mighty power and below are some of the miracles which took place on the Christmas Day service: –

• A lady was instantly healed from a shoulder pain that had caused her not to be able to lift things for two weeks and she testified in tears because she had stopped going to work due to the pain (a nurse at a local hospital).
• More than 6 people confirmed healing of eye problems.
• For the first time the first convert Baba got in Nevis went to another local church and preached the love of Jesus Christ and people started reconciling crying, the God of Ezekiel Guti is amazing only He can do this.

On Saturday evening we were invited to one of the new members’ Christmas tree lighting and her father promised to join FIFMI church.

Thank you all for your prayers that continue to sustain us. Merry Christmas to you our wonderful family.

Bahrain
The last service attendance was 12. A few others went on festive holidays. Looking forward to introducing Prayer and Fasting as we begin the New Year 2017. We are still looking for a venue for our worship services.

Jamaica
Christmas greetings to you all. The God of our father Professor Ezekiel Guti enabled us to hold all our mid-week services even though a good number of our believers travelled to join their relatives and friends during this Christmas holiday. 12 members attended Monday prayer, Wednesday had 15 members and Friday had 16 members. On Sunday we only had a 2 hour morning service and the attendance was 63. Glory to the God of Ezekiel Guti. We served some finger foods soon after our Christmas service. The church in Jamaica is very happy.
Our church chairman testified that this is his second Christmas since coming to FIFMI, but this year is different because he is now more mature in the Lord and Holy Spirit filled. He is so grateful to Archbishop E. H. Guti’s teaching of not over spending during Christmas because in the previous Christmas he would be squandering money. We thank God for your prayers.
