Dear Friends
South Africa National Women’s Conference
We thank God for our first National Women’s Conference. We are grateful to our father and mother for the vision of national women’s conferences. We witnessed the hand of God from the beginning to the end. Attendance ranged from 550 on Thursday to 2000 on Sunday as women from all over South Africa converged at Olifantsfontein our FIFMI Headquarters and conference centre. All the speakers who came from USA, UAE, Zambia and Zimbabwe were mightily used of God.110 women were filled with the Holy Spirit and 45 women signed up for water baptism.
Some of the miracles:
Here are some of the testimonies:
Many more miracles took place, the barren women were prayed for, those with fibroids were prayed for and received healing, broken hearts were mended and the message of hope was brought to South African women.
Our nation will never be there same again.Thank you FIFMI family for praying for us, our conference had a thick presence of God.
Here are the results of prayers around the world:
St Kitts
We had a week full of testimonies and praises to the God of our father Dr Ezekiel H.Guti after preserving us from hurricane Irma. Miracles:
Indeed we are inspired and challenged by the teachings from Baba’s book, Two ways of Knowing God, not theology but experience. As we continue with our soul winning, we are provoked by strange ideologies some people hold concerning our lord Jesus Christ. We are more driven than ever to continue doing soul winning. Our weekly programme went on well. On Sunday we had 17 persons in attendance as three of our members were at work. The service was highly anointed from devotion to closure, with the power of the Holy Spirit. We had a first time visitor, a gentleman who even made his contribution towards the big Sunday and promised to keep coming while making his decision for Jesus. After service, we went and water baptised one believer, praise be to God. We are facing yet another hurricane this Tuesday, we are asking for your prayers that the God of Ezekiel preserve our nation like He did in the previous hurricanes.
Nevis
FIFMI – Nevis continues to go forward for God with highly concentrated Prayer that God will continue to build a hedge of protection over our two-island country and extended Families in the neighboring islands as we face the raging storms. To that end FIFMI Nevis was able to deliver cases of Drinking Water to the Relief effort Team for our neighboring island, Anguilla. We thank our Members who responded rapidly to meet the urgent pleas in this effort. We ask our Brothers and Sisters in our worldwide communities of FIFMI to stand with us in prayer through this hurricane season.
Attendance increased during our Lunch Time Ministry this past week. Sunday’s worship was rich, spirit filled and powerful with 14 Adults and 5 Children in attendance. The Word was delivered in two parts firstly by Deaconess Nicolene “Arise in Christ for the Light has come” and Elder Cheryl “Renew your covenant with God.” These were the first of The Leaders involvement in delivery of the Word. We look forward to other presentations to come.
Upcoming Events: In-Home Bible Study groups start this week with three groups. BIG SUNDAY FIFMI ST.KITTS to be held on September 24th with Nevis joining our Sisters and Brothers for a BIG TIME IN GOD. Nevis – FIFMI to start an on-line Bible Study program with 2020 Vision Radio.
Testimonies:
He says we must trust and obey and wait for his direction.
Barbados
It has been a wonderful week of prayer and fasting for us here in Barbados. We have seen the hand of God in the mid week prayers where great deliverance was happening. On Friday evening, after much prayer, the presence of God was so electrifying that evil spirits began to scream as people were set free. Testimonies include:
Pray for us as we are in the Hurricane season. Tropical Storm Maria which is turning into a Hurricane has threatened most of our believers not to attend church service. Warnings had been issued out for people to stay indoors and the transport system was down. Regardless of these threatening conditions we managed to hold a Sunday service and 28 locals braved the weather. It was a time of healing and mending in the presence of the Lord.
Pray for us here in the Carribean lslands that these Hurricanes will not come where people stay and cause further damage. We believe the same Jesus who said “Peace, be still” to the storm, can calm these hurricanes for us. God bless you
Miami
We would like to thank everyone for the prayers during the last hurricane. God is faithful. Some of us relocated to other cities and states, while some believers stayed. Everyone is safe and sound. The Mission house was not touched by hurricane Irma. Some neighbor who is a church member said they saw God’s hand in how God protected the Mission house. God protected the city of Miami and the whole state of Florida, as the hurricane slightly moved to the West coast. Glory to God. We saw the faithfulness of the God of our Father, as we cried out and He heard us. Many trees were uprooted in the neighborhood. Some trees are still blocking roads. Cellular network was affected, cable and electricity still being restored in other areas. Our previous Sunday service was cancelled because of the hurricane. Due to the adjustment from hurricane effects there was low attendance of 7 for Sunday service. We had a powerful service. We thank God for all your prayers, and the prayers from our Mother and Father, The Apostles and servants of God. God is faithful. Hallelujah!
Malaysia
The Lord Jesus Christ is changing the lives of many here in Malaysia. This week, the Girls of Quality (GOQ) met on their Big Saturday and 21 girls attended the service and 3 visitors came, 2 from Tanzania. The visitors were amazed and grateful about the teachings which the girls were getting from the elders who taught life changing teachings from Baba & Amai’s books, to equip today’s generation of young women with the word of God and grooming them to become God fearing women, entrepreneurs and self-sustaining girls of quality. Sunday the girls hosted the service where 42 adults and 2 children were in attendance. Nationalities present were Tanzania, Swaziland, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. There was great joy and as the girls were happy to be given a platform to do something in the House of the Lord. The Boys were inspired to have their own Big Saturday and the revival which was brought by the family Convention Conference is truly evident in the church. October has been declared to be a month of Soul Winning here in Malaysia and as a church, we will be doing outreach in different areas and towns each week in October. We are kindly requesting your prayers that that we may go with boldness and win many souls,
especially the locals, to the Kingdom of God. We thank the God of Ezekiel for being with us and the prayers of all the saints in FIFMI.
Oman
Our Telugu service was attended by 26 people and 3 people committed to membership in FIFMI. We managed to meet with a group of 19 people from Pakistan and taught them about the history and doctrine of the Forward in Faith Church. They all committed to FIFMI as members, and are so happy about the church. Dr. Mafuriranwa formally accepted this group as members and our third FIF assembly in Oman was thus launched. They will be meeting in the morning at 10am before the Telugu service which starts at 1pm. Our service on Saturday was attended by 8 people in total. We kindly ask you for your continued prayers.
Jamaica
We thank the God of our father, Professor Ezekiel H. Guti for allowing him to take this true seed to Jamaica. The church is now 2 years old and this previous Sunday the 17th of September 2017 was the day of remembrance of how it all began in 2015. There was great joy in the church and it was testimony after testimony. Here are some of the testimonies:
2 people were saved. We give praise to the God of our father. After church we had a big fellowship where people ate and could not finish the food as in the Bible story of the feeding of the 4000 people excluding women and children. 53 persons attended church. We thank you for all your prayers over Jamaica.
Philippines
Thank you for your prayers. Our midweek services went well. We launched a Bible Class program to ground our members on their knowledge of the Bible. The program which should cover at least three hours per week and will give them an overview of all the books of the Bible. On Sunday 6 adults and 4 children attended the service. Thank you for continuing to pray for souls more to be added as we do follow ups and various soul winning activities.
Madagascar
We thank the God of our father who has kept us thus far. Thank you all for the prayers, for we are seeing the grace of God. God is bringing new people time after time and as our father said some people who used to be members are also coming back to church We are witnessing an increase in attendance in our Monday and Friday prayers from 6 to 10 and now 20 to 34. During the prayer sessions we witness mighty deliverance.
One lady who attended our Friday prayers invited us to the house and told us that she saw a man whom she does not know telling her that if she wants a blessing in life she is to follow the teachings of FIFMI. After we showed her the picture of our father she said that’s the man and we knew the angel of this church is also visiting people. This lady is now our member, glory to God
We thank God for our Sunday service recorded our highest attendance, 67 adults and 32 children. We give glory to God for a lot of deliverance in our services one lady who had the spirit of misfortune also got delivered during our services
Miracles:
North Carolina
We thank our loving Father Ezekiel and Mother Guti for sending Senior Pastors Chris and Sesie Mutsigwa. We have already started to see a tremendous change starting in our midst with the church coming together as a family and strong unit through fellowships and powerful Bible studies. The church has Couples Fellowships and Bible Studies as our soul winning strategies.
Last week we were also graced by the presence of Evangelist Dr. Ezekiel Guti Jr and Pastor Caroline Guti. The weekend was filled with power and anointing. We witnessed miracles of emotional and physical healing. People were delivered from sickness and demonic oppression. Anointing was so thick in the place that chains of depression were broken. We saw new families come to join the gatherings and fellowships. The word was delivered with much power leaving the people empowered to work in the kingdom. People were prayed for barrenness. Fellowships after the service brought the church and the community together. We thank God because after this visit the church has not remained the same.
Belize
We had a Sunday for the Child Evangelism here and it was great. We saw the hand of God. You can see that the seed of FIF has been planted. The kids sang, danced, shared the word and prayed for people, there was a genuine move of God. Though there was a big expo going on next door, the kids came to support their service and 38 people came.
While in our Punta Gorda assembly we had a great service, we are seeing our people being committed to the church more and more. Attendance was 14 kids and 12 adults. Please continue to pray for growth

This week:
TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE
Psalm 32:1 “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven….”
Matthew 18:35 “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses”
Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
3. If there’s no spirit of forgiveness it brings witchcraft because of anger. When they see a person who they are angry with prospering or something has been promised to that person, they don’t say anything with their mouth but inside their heart they bewitch. They say, I wish that it won’t happen, he must know that he is a sinner, he did this to me. Church witchcraft is more dangerous than worldly witchcraft. Key to this is forgiveness. When you have forgiven and something is happening to your brother or sister in the church, you rejoice with that person.
4. If there’s no forgiveness it brings poverty. He’s not a God who associates with bitterness. Therefore, demons will say this is a fertile ground and they are making you to be poor. A poor country has lots of witchcraft, murder etc.
5. If there’s no forgiveness people run away for fear of revenge. Places are empty, people relocate because they fear revenge. TO BE CONTINUED….
God bless you.
