Our Leaders
FIFMI leadership comprises men of God who were appointed by our father, the legendary Archbishop Dr. Ezekiel H. Guti to lead the church in its new season. By the grace of God, they are steadfastly directing the church through the Holy Spirit, under the advisory support of our mom, Senior Archbishop Dr. Eunor Guti, while working together with a formidable team of Bishops and Apostles who are at the International Headquarters and across the FIFMI nations.
Supported by their beloved wives, the servants of God labor tirelessly to ensure the church fulfills the great commision of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19), and that ZAOGA Forward in Faith continues in the legacy of our father Archbishop Dr. EH Guti. We are encouraged to pray earnestly for our leaders so that they may be strengthened, protected, and that they may fulfill the calling which is upon them to shepherd the church of God.
