Dear Friends,

SLOVAKIA

We thank the God of our father, E.H Guti, for leading the church in Slovakia. We continue to be revived in our spirits by both prayer and the sharing from our Sunday services as well as from our WhatsApp group. Sunday, 3 March 2024, recorded a powerful service as hosted at one of the believers’ residences. We recorded an awesome attendance of 12 adults and 2 children. The people testified the goodness of God in their lives even as we are in a foreign land. We had a great Bible study on “Who you are in Christ” as extracted from “Sunday Morning Lectures”
The Bible study was followed by powerful praise and worship, and lastly, the word of God. After the service, we had time to share food and fellowship. We continue to see the hand of the God of Ezekiel in all our gatherings. The church continues to pray for a proper venue for our services. We are also grateful because we now have Pastors remotely taking care of us. This has really motivated us in the Lord.

On Friday, our National BOT Pastor, Pastor Blessing Mutingwa, took time to explain to the boys the nature and the purpose of prayer retreat as taught by our father and mother Archbishop Professor Ezekiel H Guti and Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti.

Her insights inspired and motivated attendees to embrace the principles of hosting and stewardship in their lives and encouraged the delegates that true hosting essentially begins from home. From our mother’s encouragement when we come to this ministry we must do it in the spirit and we start ministering from home with a sweet spirit as love can be felt.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

When we fear God, we will fear to gossip, fear to tell lies, and fear to do something we know that God is not in favor of. Our father walked in the fear of God. We should also walk in the fear of God. Baba said don’t allow somebody who is not part of you to come in between and you tell that somebody something about one of your family members, it will cause a crack. Work on being united…God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,
Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
