Happy 57th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI! 57 years of God’s grace and counting. 

 

Cyprus
The Apostles of Jesus Christ third week in Cyprus. Miracles, miracles, miracles. The God of our father Ezekiel Guti is faithful. The presence of our father in Cyprus has ignited the miraculous in our lives.

•  4 of our believers who applied for visas to go to America this summer were granted miraculously. 
• One young man who used to wear glasses was instantly healed when prayed for by Baba and he is no longer needing them. 
• Some have been given part time jobs which are conducive for school and church. 
• Another miracle is that when Baba and Mama switched hotels their coats went missing and after much searching by hotel authorities the jackets were still missing. Baba made a simple prayer and the jackets were brought to the mission house by a young man who found them in his car which he had just hired and had not been in contact with us at all. Surely The angels brought them and we all marveled as this was not man’s but God’s doing. 
• All along the pastors were using public transport and it provided many limitations doing the work of God. But on Friday the church of FIFMI Cyprus celebrated a new mission vehicle (donated by UK missions). A miracle that can only be possible when walking in the Kingdom of God. Praise be to God. 

On Friday night prayer there was a mighty move of God as Pastor Shami shared on the message given by Baba on having hope in an impossible situation. Sunday service Baba preached for nearly 2 hours. Baba is getting stronger and refreshed everyday. Thank you for your prayers.

 

Mozambique
About 400 female pastors from FIFMI and different churches all over Mozambique gathered in Chimoio Mozambique for a historic Female Pastors’ Conference with Apostle Dr. Eunor Guti and team. Over 60 female pastors surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ.  Most of them came from other churches and never had a chance to hear the true gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them. 36 female pastors were water baptised amongst them was one bishop and one new convert who was not a pastor.
74 ladies were filled with the Holy Spirit.  
The message taught by Apostle Dr. Eunor Guti rescued female pastors from where they had been hiding. Most of them were delivered from inferiority complex, spirit of stinginess, bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, hatred and marine spirits. From their testimonies you could see that they have been delivered. Even their appearance changed. Great transformation took place within a few days as they had time to pour out their hearts to the God of Ezekiel. 
By Friday evening there was much joy in the auditorium as ladies sang songs of praise, danced, and thanked God for remembering them in such a way. Saturday evening all the female pastors received great anointing and blessing from the apostle and servant of God who prayed for them over the phone.  Even the people who were out of the auditorium including men felt the anointing.  
The Sunday service had over 5000 people at the Liga Musulumami  Indoor Arena. Dr Eunor taught on church history, salvation, water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism. There were 1020 new converts. Some of the miracles:

• People were delivered from the spirit of miscarriages. 
• Others were delivered from a heart problem 
• Many were delivered from spiritual husbands 
• Another lady spent 3 months without menstruation and she could feel a moving object in her womb. She was prayed for and instant healing took place.

St Kitts 
This was a wonderful week for our church as we received the Warde family from Miami as they arrived for the first time since they left for the conference in Zimbabwe.  The church welcomed them warmly.  They are loaded with the good things they learnt at the feet of the great Apostles of Jesus. They spoke about the love and hospitality that they were shown, the size of the church and life in the kingdom of God. We had our first leadership meeting after church and we are scheduled to begin leadership training this week. Please pray for favour as we follow up on some paperwork and also embark on soul winning this weekend. Glory to God.

 

Nevis

The Apostles obedience to God’s Directive to Go Into All The World and Preach The Gospel is continuing to be realized as Nevis continues to build its membership through outreach programs of In-home bible study groups, hospital visits to the sick and deliverance.  This week saw a first time ever in Nevis, Lunchtime Ministry where daily from 12 noon to 2pm, at its downtown fellowship hall. Persons gather to pray.  Prayer went up for Nevis and St.Kitts as well as those in the Bombings in Manchester, UK and for Families and Relationships.  We praise God for Pastors Chris and Sesie’s teachings on prayer and setting up of Leadership Structures within the church.

The second Couples Fellowship was held on Saturday with 5 couples in attendance. Couples expressed how delighted they were to have the opportunity to be a part of this timely event and want to see it continued. It gives the Couples a tremendous opportunity to hear ideas from an international perspective and to also share their views and learn new ways of coping in these challenging times. Two new couples especially expressed how happy they were and expressed interest in becoming more involved in FIFM-Nevis.

The week ended with our Sunday Worship at a new time of 9:30am – 12noon and saw 24 people in attendance including children.  
Congratulations to Deacon Desmond Edwards who was awarded the Employee of the Year in Nevis from the Nevis Tourism Awards Committee.

Barbados
The kingdom is expanding with signs, miracles and wonders. This week we had 8 people receive Christ; 3 at the hospital, 3 at a ladies breakfast meeting and 2 as we were doing home visitations. 3 of them are already attending services including the Sunday service.
We give glory to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti who raised an Elder in UK to buy new drums, bass guitar, timbrel and a combo speaker for the church. Our Elder here in Barbados gave us the balance required to purchase the combo speaker. Our musical kit is growing to the Glory of God.

It was a great Sunday where we witnessed the mighty hand of the Lord. 51 people, 39 adults and 12 children were in attendance. An elder and some deacons were appointed. We also bade farewell to Overseers Jonathan and Greater Chikwawawa. It was a momentous occasion. The church was joyous throughout and great deliverance took place. We had a special luncheon after church and it ended well after 3pm. Testimonies:

• A man and his wife said they had been looking for church for a long time and fell in love with the atmosphere of worship they experienced on Sunday and vowed to comeback to Forward in Faith. 
• A lady who had no hope of life found hope and direction when she heard a Pastor’s testimony and gave her life to Christ.

We thank you for your prayers as we have witnessed the highest attendance this Sunday of 51 people. Please pray for more couples, youths and men and for more chairs that will be needed soon.

Miami
We thank God for a blessed week. Our midweek services went well. Sunday service at the retirement home had 7 people attending. The Service at the mission house had 18 in attendance. We are praying for a church building and revival to continue in U. S. A. We thank you all for the fervent prayers, we would like to assure you that God is answering them one at a time. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

Bahrain
Here in Bahrain we are so grateful to have joined in the Anniversary celebrations for the first time. On Friday, 12th of May we celebrated the 57th Anniversary with a special service where the history of the church was taught, from the book “History of Zaoga FIF”. After service we shared a meal at the Pastors’ residence and continued with the celebrations at Fun Land where Saints fellowshipped through bowling and other games. We are so thankful for our interim Pastors Wellington and Shamiso Kandemiri who have come to strengthen and ground the church by the grace of God. The church continues to grow. Those that had stopped coming to church in the absence of a Pastor have started coming back. Last week we had 1 new person and 4 returning members. 

China
We joined the church the world over to celebrate FIFMI’s 57th Anniversary from 26 to 28 May 2017. Though belated, the spirit of celebration engulfed the entire congregation when we finally met. These celebrations were historic for us as they mark 10 years of the seed that was planted by our father in this land.  Members chronicled the goodness and faithfulness of the God of Ezekiel Guti ever since they joined the Ministry. It was an emotional moment when we revisited the history of how FIF entered into China. God has indeed been faithful, a Ministry that started with a few families now has over hundred members. Glory be to God of Ezekiel.

 

Malaysia
Praise God for Malaysia. This week we saw the hand of God as top officials gave their lives to Christ. On Sunday we were 35 adults, one child, and we had 3 visitors. This Sunday was Seed Sunday where people brought a special offering to God, we witnessed the hand of God as people gave to God, and also money was counted and it increased. We also witnessed money being given anonymously in huge amounts. The God of Ezekiel is true to His word.
Testimonies:

• A lady testified how she got a job after being prayed for by the Pastors.
• Another lady got promoted at work to lead a department, a job she had not applied for.
• One gentleman testified how he got a contract and was paid more than he had charged.
• The Pastor prayed for the Secretary and said God will increase money as you count it, the God of Ezekiel showed Himself as she counted the money it began to increase. Praise be to God.

Continue to pray for us as we are still believing God for a church van.

  
Belgium
We had the privilege of having our Schengen Region Overseers Thadaeus & Joy Mike in Belgium for the past one and half weeks. 10 people attended our Wednesday Bible study. Thursday saw a huge turnout more than 39 people attending (32 adults and 6 children) for a barbeque fellowship. One lady asked to receive Jesus Christ after a one on one witnessing during the fellowship and vowed to come back to God. She attended our Sunday service which was remarkable, with a record 16 people (13 adults and 3 children) attending. A couple that was co-habiting exchanged vows and had their marriage blessed into a holy matrimony during the powerful service.  We believe God has started a new thing in the nation of Belgium. We request that you continue to pray for many lost souls to come back to God. 

France
We thank the God of our father here in France as we continue to experience the grace and presence of God in our nation. Our church service was attended by 11 adults, 2 young generation and 1 child. Our Deaconess Peace shared and she encouraged us to be grounded in the teachings of our father. God is doing a new thing in our nation, we are so excited as we are going to host our First Schenghen Regional Family Convention in August, where all the Schenghen nations are coming together. Preparations have already started. We request much of your prayers as we are looking forward to have a bumper harvest during the convention. Thank you very much for your prayers.

Belize Punta Gorda 
This week in our Punta Gorda assembly we saw the great and mighty hand of the God of our father as we continue to grow as a church. Our Wednesday bible study service saw an attendance of 26 people as we were preparing those who haven’t been water baptized. On Saturday we launched our ladies meeting where we saw an attendance of 4 women. On Sunday there was a big attendance of 35 people. We received our pastors from the Belize city assembly, pastors Truth and Margaret Phiri. Pastor Truth spoke powerfully on breaking limitations and many were set free from different afflictions and limitations caused by evil spirits. After the service 9 of our members were water baptized then we had a fellowship to celebrate the great milestone. 
Thank you for praying for us. Please Keep praying that we continue to grow in strength and numbers.

United Kingdom

SADOP from all corners of the country of the United Kingdom, met for their Annual Conference in Leicester (UK) on the 26th – 28th May 2017. The theme of the conference was: “Following the footsteps of our parents in the year of having so that we may not loose what we have.”  There was unspeakable joy, unity and a thick presence of the Lord at the conference. SADOP are extremely grateful to their mother Apostle Eunor Guti for the message of encouragement that she sent to them-“You are not ordinary children.  You should not live like the ones in the world but have a zeal and desire to the love the Lord.” Many felt loved and encouraged by our mother’s message. During the course of the conference, there were many powerful testimonies that were shared by SADOP of all ages who thanked the God of their father, Ezekiel Guti for taking them through various educational successes in schools and universities, marriages and business ventures.
