Dear Friends,

SINGLE WOMEN’S MINISTRY ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP SEMINAR

The Single Women Ministry hosted its annual International Leadership Seminar from February 19 to 22, 2026, at the Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre (AMFCC), led by International Director Pastor Mary Msiza. The conference began with a Mum and Daughters Affairs event, where the Snr Archbishop, Prof. Eunor Guti, represented by Mama Bishop Mpanduki and Mama Chikore, fellowshipped with 70 single female pastors. A total of 1,225 leaders attended from Zimbabwe and other countries, including the UK, South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique, and Botswana, with 200 new leaders and 28 umbrellas among them.

The powerful lineup of speakers included the Snr Archbishop Prof Eunor Guti, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, Pastor Nyasha Miriam Guti, Bishop G. Mutingwa, and guest speakers Overseers Luckson and Felistas Mahaso. The conference took a remarkable turn on Sunday, marked by the presence of our parents. The atmosphere was ignited by a profound sense of joy and excitement, elevating the experience within the auditorium to one filled with the divine presence of God. Our father emphasized that legacy is personal, practical, and spiritual, urging single women to fear God, avoid sin, and develop their character as taught by the late Archbishop E.H. Guti. The delegates responded enthusiastically, with many coming forward even before the altar call. Ongoing deliverance sessions and faith clinics led to 58 attendees being baptized in the Holy Spirit.

As part of a farewell celebration for former International Director Rev. Caillar Mhlandla, the National Chairlady, Elder Monica Mutodi, and other elders shared personal testimonies reflecting on his leadership. The ministry continues to grow through soul-winning efforts and engaging the new generation with the word and prayer.

MOI NATIONAL LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

As we celebrate 35 years since the launch of the Men of Integrity ministry, we testify that our God is a covenant-keeping God. From February 19th to 21st, the MOI Zimbabwe leadership gathered at Chisipite International Christian Centre for their 5th annual leadership workshop and 14th National Indaba, themed “Kingdom Expansion Through True Discipleship.” Leaders from 40 provinces in Zimbabwe and 6 other nations participated.

The event featured powerful speakers, including Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, SG Bishop M. Nyambo, and others. Though our Mum, Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, could not attend physically, she sent us an important and timely message on the need to love our wives and “nurturing” them through love, the way we learnt from our role model and ministry visionary Archbishop Prof E.H. Guti. After the sharing of her message, men came forward to repent.
Some of the key priorities for 2026 discussed included Total restoration of man, Soul winning, Talents, Building healthy marriages and, Developing a prayer lifestyle in men.

Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti challenged us to fully embrace our 35-year legacy and focus on being restored to our God-given dominion (Gen 1:26). He emphasized true discipleship, unity, teamwork, and adherence to decrees from Jerusalem. We extend our gratitude to Harare Central MOI for hosting the event and their unwavering support. The legacy of our father, the bondservant of Jesus Christ, will continue to thrive.

INTERNATIONAL HOSTING & STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY

The 2026 International Hosting & Stewardship Ministry Seminar, hosted by Director Eunice Matsikinyere on Friday and Saturday, 21 February 2026, was a resounding success. The event saw significant participation, with 155 individuals joining online and 527 attending in person on Friday, bringing the total attendance for that day to 682. On Saturday, an additional 500 participants joined online, culminating in an approximate reach of 1,258 people over the two days, including 15 Young Generation members, highlighting encouraging youth involvement.

The conference was highly favoured to be graced by the presence of our father Archbishop, Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, who emphasized defending our legacy, the essence of true deliverance, and the importance of understanding one’s purpose in ministry. Our mother, Rev Nyasha inspired attendees with a message from our mum, Apostle, Dr. Eunor, urging sensitivity to our gifts and the significance of visible ministry identity. She reminded us to balance spiritual service with personal discipline, family responsibilities, and to embrace sacrifices as opportunities for blessings.

The conference was marked by strong in-person and online participation, providing clear spiritual direction and alignment for our ministries. It reinforced our collective standards and identity while renewing our commitment to defend and preserve the legacy entrusted to the Hosting & Stewardship Ministry. Ultimately, the gathering strengthened our unity across nations and provinces, reiterating our dedication to serve with excellence, sincerity, and spiritual maturity.

To God be the glory for the success of the 2026 International Hosting & Stewardship Ministry Seminar and the greater works that lie ahead.

Following dynamic praise and worship, the Holy Spirit filled the place. Many were moved in the Spirit and began speaking in tongues. An altar call was made, and people received healing and deliverance from sickness. One young girl was delivered from pain in her leg that had lasted for months. As worship continued, the Holy Spirit moved mightily, the atmosphere shifted, and instead of preaching, the Spirit ministered directly to the people. Many were delivered, and the service concluded with prayer. Thank you for praying for us as we look forward to completing our church building.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Prov 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom and in all thy getting get wisdom and in all thy getting get understanding.”
We need to ask for wisdom from God. Why? because this wisdom from God will build our homes. It will help us to think before we speak. This is why the psalmist says, “Set a guard over my mouth and a door over my lips”, so that I don’t just speak anyhow without thinking, without understanding, and without discerning about how what I want to say is going to affect my husband, my children, and fellow workers. Why? because I am a child of God, who, when she comes to pray, is clothed with godliness. When He clothes me with godliness, it’s not something that I put on and throw away like a jacket. I have to keep it on….. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
