Dear Friends,

INTERNATIONAL GIRLS’ SEMINAR

The International Girls’ Ministry held another powerful hybrid seminar this year from Thursday 7 March to Sunday 10 March at AMFCC in Harare Zimbabwe. We would like to thank the God of our Father for enabling us to hold this life-transforming conference. We were blessed with a line-up of powerful speakers such as Dr. La-Verne Simukai the International Go Quickly and Tell Director, Pastor Shamie Mwale from Cyprus, Pastor Rejoice Samundombe from RSA and Senior Pastor Gift Ranga the International Girls Advisor and other speakers who taught on several topics such as Emotional Healing, Leadership, Deliverance, Mental Health, Giving, personal development, and the History of our church. The Girls were equipped with life-changing skills to use in their day-to-day lives. This conference was one of its kind as we also had girls’ speakers who taught on social media and how to handle abuse. Over 100 girls were prayed for and poured out their hearts during the emotional healing session. A total of 150 girls received the gift of the Holy Spirit and started to speak in other tongues. Over 200 girls were prayed for during the deliverance session to break all the spirits that were working as hindrances in their walk with Christ.
On the last day of the conference, we were graced by our Mother Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti who spoke about what it takes to be a Young Eunor. She gave a charge on winning souls as this is what our Father Archbishop Professor E.H Guti had a burden for. She revealed some of the most powerful testimonies she experienced with Baba doing the work of God. She also spoke about being obedient, as that is the word God had given her to share with us and to have the genuine fear of God. It was a life-transforming service that touched many girls’ lives and they will never be the same. A total of 13 Girls gave their lives to Christ. We thank the God of our Father for giving the Girls Ministry grace to hold this Seminar and having a dedicated International Girls Director Pastor Ruth Basa who has remained willed to follow the vision that our Father had for a girl child.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

We thank the God of our father Ezekiel Guti for a powerful Sunday service. The Leaders and members of the Church are happy with the return of Pastor Fredy to the Dominican Republic he preached the history of the Church, how the Church began through a simple man of God, Ezekiel Guti, and how he left his legacy, which is everything written in his books. Even if Apostle Ezekiel Guti went to be with the Lord, the FIFMI church is stronger, our mother Archbishop Eunor Guti and the 3 Apostles continue with the teachings of our father Ezekiel Guti. We ask for prayers for our upcoming crusades in the DR.

Broken hearts were restored. We saw women dancing and rejoicing after testifying about the goodness of the Lord.

A lot of girls said Isaiah 58 has taught them to mend their relationship with their mothers which had broken down and also to let go of bitterness with their parents. Some texted their parents asking for forgiveness. Some were delivered from addiction to pornography and masturbation, some had issues and could not talk to each other, and they had time to meet and reconcile and forgive each other. 17 girls were Holy Spirit-filled. 169 girls attended the prayer retreat this year across all three zones. To God be the glory.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

“Prayer is a powerful force God does things in answer to prayer that He would not do otherwise” Pg. 6 Prayer of a Righteous Man Avails Much… book.
God will not do anything without prayer. “God has ordained prayer, and He will do nothing through people without prayer. Prayer is a specific divine appointment with God” (pg 16).
You can cry for a job or promotion at work but if you don’t go the way of the ordained prayer, it will not happen. Nothing happens without the ordained powerful force. God waits for the ordained powerful force…God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,
