Dear Friends,

BINDURA

What a glorious day of celebration and power it was on the 8th of March 2026! Bindura Provincial Big Sunday was covered by a great cloud of witnesses as thousands gathered at the Ezekiel Guti Prayer Mountain For All Nations — the very ZAOGA FIF place of history where it all began. We were deeply honored by the presence and ministry of our father, Archbishop Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, our mother, Pastor NM Guti, our mom, the Senior Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti, and Zonal Bishop Rev. A. Kapandura. Government officials also joined the congregation to lift the name of the Lord.

The atmosphere was electric with praise and expectancy. An estimated 6,000-strong crowd came out in jubilation to celebrate the God of our father Ezekiel — and not even the rain could dampen their spirits. The prayer mountain was filled with testimonies, worship, and the manifest presence of God.

384 people received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior — what a harvest! 526 people were prayed for (laid hands upon) concerning a variety of needs. 148 people were delivered from diverse evil spirits by the mighty power of God. We give God all the glory for the mighty move at Bindura. The day was full of joy, breakthrough, and a fresh impartation of faith for the church and the nation. Hallelujah — the legacy continues, and the work advances!

INDIA

We thank the God of our Father, Ezekiel Guti, for the increase in our churches across India. Our pastors visited Japandhar District this weekend and shared feedback from the Pastors’ Deeper-Life Conference held in Zimbabwe in January. Pastor Seema Gilchrist led our Bible study on “Kingdom Leadership.” Pastor James Gilchrist preached on “Manifestation of the Sons of God.” We experienced a powerful move of the Spirit and believe we are now being led by the Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives. Attendance: Boys of Thunder (BOT) 47, GOQ 67, total 114.

In other locations, services were held in Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Bhopal, Haryana, and Palwal, led by deacons and elders. We are grateful for the rapid growth in Mandhya Pradesh, Bhopal, with a new meeting venue secured and further developments underway. Glory be to God. Praying for God to help us in the launching of our church building project, which is our target for the year.

UNITED KINGDOM

West Midlands Province
We want to give glory to God for the successful prayer retreat that was held at CEFN Lea, Wales, from 6-8 March 2026, through the leadership of our Overseer Talent Mayemu and the pastoral team. 138 ladies attended. Our speakers were Elder Loveness Mukutirwa and Overseer Talent Mayemu. We did experience the presence of the Holy Spirit. So many prophecies were received. God delivered many from sickness, unforgiveness, and bitterness. We give glory as the ladies gave freely with joy. On Sunday, so many ladies testified that they came burdened but were now going back free and full of the joy of the Holy Spirit.

AUSTRALIA

Victoria State
We give all glory to the God of Ezekiel for the success of the Victoria State (Australia) Go Quickly Prayer Retreat (5–8 March 2026) at the Local Mother Church. Led by Pastor Molleen Varipano with Pastor Talent Cavanagh and Evangelist Kulecha, the retreat drew women from across the state. Thursday’s online service had 86 devices logged in, and 114 attended in person from Friday to Sunday. Sessions focused on personal cleansing, fellowship, intercession, and talents. It was a deeply impactful and spiritually enriching gathering.

Overseer Joylyn Rusere was greatly used by God to minister on the fire of God, igniting passion and spiritual awakening, followed by a powerful Holy Spirit session and one-on-one counsel. Dr. Tafadzwa Masaka visited on Sunday, delivered a timely message urging the women to guard their mouths and live lives reflecting holiness both inwardly and outwardly, and prayed for the ladies. The 2026 Victoria Go Quickly Prayer Retreat was a profound success — a fresh outpouring of God’s presence that will continue to strengthen the women of Victoria as they walk boldly in faith.

We just rounded it off with a National Council Meeting on March 7th, attended by 62 leaders, and National Big Sunday on March 8th, with 240 people in attendance. All four assemblies came together at the Lefkosa Tabernacle for Big Sunday. The day was packed with exciting activities, including appreciations, items, and choirs. We celebrated weddings that are lined up in this quarter, and the church had an uplifting morale. Pastor Linda Sibanda brought a powerful word on home talents – it was empowering and life-changing, and two souls came to the Kingdom of God! We are sure our lives will never be the same.

Overseer Bernadette Mamuya ministered on working talents with a clean heart, with forgiveness as the foundation, while Rev mama Bishop Tryness Tweve stirred hearts towards using their hands practically to work for God.

Several participants camped in their provinces, fasting and praying, and broke their fast together in fellowship, love, and unity — a living expression of what was being taught. A total of 336 attended physically, with 41 joining via Zoom, bringing the combined attendance to 377. We look forward to maximum participation in the working of Talents as we press on in the vision for this year.

JAMAICA

We thank God for His grace and mercy in Jamaica! The legacy continues to live on, and we rejoice in God’s faithfulness in our assemblies. We were delighted to welcome back our Overseer B.F. Mhundwa, who came alongside Evangelist Mapfumo — we’re grateful for their presence and continued guidance.

God has richly blessed us through the weekly ministry of Evangelist Mapfumo, who has been used mightily for the sake of His people. On Sunday, we held our National Big Sunday at the National Conference Centre, where all three assemblies gathered in joyful fellowship. There was a mighty visitation from the Lord as Evangelist Mapfumo and Overseer B.F. ministered to the church from The Local Church book, instructing, correcting, and reminding the saints of the importance of keeping to the pattern of the church and remaining faithful to the teachings we have received.

Evangelist Comfort ministered healing and deliverance, and praise God — 11 people received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We closed our powerful Big Sunday, having witnessed the Lord’s mighty hand, partaking of Holy Communion, and enjoying a time of fellowship, food, and thanksgiving together. We continue to thank God for His faithfulness and grace upon the work in Jamaica. With excited hearts, we remain committed to walking in the teachings we have received, strengthening the church, and advancing God’s work in our nation.

CAYMAN ISLANDS

God is faithful, and we continue to see His mighty hand in the Cayman Islands. The church continued to meet for mid-week prayers, bible study, and intercession. The church also facilitated and participated in prayers for one of the ladies in the Zimbabwean community who is not feeling well.

On Saturday, 7 March, we were honored to welcome Pastor Tina Mashushire to the Cayman Islands. Sunday, 8 March 2025, we had a Communion Service with 49 people in attendance. During the service, we had a testimony of healing and also of what God has been doing. Pastor Tina shared the word on “the anointing,” then the Elders led the church in communion. After the service, the Elders and Deacons had a meeting with Pastor Tina.

Thank you for the prayers and support. Continue to pray for the Cayman Islands Church that the church will continue to grow and have an impact in the community. Additionally, we pray for our leaders that the Lord will continue to guide them and direct them as they advise and minister to the church.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

I went to another place, and after the lady served me, she asked the people I was with who I was and what kind of work I did. She had felt the peace of God as she was serving me and asked if I could talk to her. I then began to testify to her that I was not born like this. I was a rough girl, and I told her all about my past, but Jesus Christ changed my life. If you receive Him, He will make you be born again by His word and the Holy Spirit, and you will become a child of God. She was shivering and crying, and she received Jesus Christ. What a joy, what a changed face! I didn’t know it, but she sensed godliness. This is what will happen to people when we keep godliness in us….God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you.
