Dear Friends,

We continue to thank the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for the great works He is doing in Hungary. Our Monday online prayer had 9 devices connected on Zoom. We now have two home cell groups one had 11 people in attendance and the second had 6 people with 1 visitor from Laos. We started an online Bible study group with our members in Slovakia 4 people were connected. Our Sunday service was so powerful, 9 people were in attendance, and 1 visitor from the Caribbean. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

MOROCCO

We are so thankful to the God of Ezekiel for His faithfulness, we are witnessing the great hand of God here in Morocco. A new bible study group has been opened in Marrakesh and it had 11 members. People were so excited and eager to study the word of God. On Wednesday the other Bible study group ended up in prayer as the word of God brought deliverance to one of our sisters. On Friday, we had our Go Quickly Prayer retreat with 24 persons from both Casablanca and Marrakech. Great deliverance took place and many ladies testified of how the Lord set them free from unforgiveness, spiritual husbands, and fornication among other things. There was great joy at the end of the retreat. Many did not want to dismiss. We saw the hand of God.

Sunday, Marrakech had 32 in attendance and the word was so powerful, strengthening the church of God as we began to teach the History of our Church.

It was another blessed Sunday in Casablanca. All the weekly meetings were well attended. We really thank God for your prayers for us.

THAILAND

The God of Ezekiel has continued to show His faithfulness in our nation. This week we had our first-ever Resurrection Conference hosted by the Youth Ministry. Our speakers were pastors Daisy and Babalo Arosi from South Africa. On Friday night we had 35 people in attendance and deacon Wenyasha was the forerunner. After that pastor Daisy spoke powerfully. Saturday afternoon, the youth met physically for fellowship and some fun activities. On Saturday evening, we had 36 people in attendance. The forerunner was sister Lorene followed by Pastor Babalo. Sunday was another powerful day, we had 57 people in attendance, 38 people online, and 18 adults and two children onsite. The speaker was deacon Zinyandu. We had Holy Communion and then fellowship over some eats. There is a sweet spirit in our midst and the youth are on fire for the things of God. We managed to hold elections and a new youth board was elected, glory to God, surely Thailand FIF is marching on. Thank you for continuing to pray for us as we pray for you.

BARBADOS

We give thanks and praise to the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for an awesome week of activities. The Go Quickly and Tell Ladies had a powerful 2 day Prayer Retreat hosted by our Pastor Florence Simango. Our Keynote Speaker was Pastor Talent Mayemu (UK) who ministered on Isaiah 58 so powerfully. Many Ladies from other churches in Barbados also attended. The attendance was very good. The sessions were interactive. All the Ladies responded and repented. Indeed our lives will never be the same again. Our Sunday Service was powerful. Deacon Martika led the Devotions zealously. We heard and received the Word shared by Brother Calvert in Bible Study and the ministry of the Word by Dr. David Simango.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE

Connect with people who fear God. Exercise Self-control. As a leader, people are watching you. You produce your own kind. The way you walk or talk is what you will produce. Your life not what you preach is what you produce. People watch your life, how you pray, and how you do things and they become like you.

Learn to control your body and be busy all the time so you don’t have idle time. Then you can enjoy the blessings of God, the sweetness of God in your spirit...God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,

Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
