Dear Friends,

We keep praising God for the great work He is doing in our nation. Continue to pray for our church registration and the growth of the church numerically and spiritually.

MOROCCO

Casablanca - It was a remarkable week for us with one of our Bible study groups at the University, which had 11 students in attendance. It was highly interactive, with the students eager to learn from the word of God. Our Sunday service was unique with 35 members in attendance. It was a special Worship Sunday where Overseer Abisha gave a brief and powerful teaching on Worship, and indeed God showed up in a mighty way. There was great joy in the church. The celebration continued with a barbecue after the service. People were thrilled with the fellowship such that they did not want to go home. Thank you for your prayers for us.

Marrakech - The God of father Apostle E. H. Guti is continuing to manifest His grace. On Saturday we had a successful leadership seminar that was attended by 14 leaders. The leaders were grounded in the vision and pattern of FIF by powerful teachings on the history of the church and leadership by overseer Ann Forest. Our Sunday service registered an attendance of 22 adults and 9 children. There was great joy in worshiping God and in fellowship after the service.

CAMBODIA

FIFMI Cambodia is marching on since its birth in October 2021 new people continue to move to different cities. Since the members are located in different, services are held in a hybrid format with those in the capital meeting physically and those outside joining virtually. We thank the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for His grace.

UNITED KINGDOM

We want to thank the God of our father Archbishop Ezekiel H Guti that as the United Kingdom Female Pastors we had our prayer retreat from the 8th to the 9th of March. We were camping at the Leicester Church and 22 female pastors were in physical attendance while 3 were on zoom. We received deep and rich teachings from our speaker, the Go Quickly International Director Dr. La-Verne working with local facilitators. We were taught how to work our lives using Isaiah 58, and as we began applying it, we saw people testifying in tears. We received empowering teachings on Home Talents and were encouraged to run with vision so that we can experience the harvest. Our retreat concluded with female pastors hugging and laughing in the Spirit as the atmosphere was charged. We give glory to God for we will never be the same again.

CYPRUS

We want to thank God that as Cyprus Ladies we had our prayer retreat from Friday night to Saturday afternoon. Ladies traveled from the four corners of the nation and were camping at our Church venue in Lefkoşa. Attendance was average of 75 in person and 20 on zoom. Our Speaker, who was virtual, was Evangelist Pastor Carol Guti who gave us rich teachings from the servants and Apostles of God on how to apply Isaiah 58. People were delivered as they poured out their lives. Many are testifying of being delivered from bitterness, unforgiveness and anger. We were also taught about Home Talents. On the last day there was an evident thick presence of God and people cried and laughed in the Holy Spirit. Thank you for your prayers.

GUYANA

We want to thank the God of our father Archbishop Prof E. H. Guti for His goodness towards us. Guyana Forward in Faith is marching on. Midweek service continues to grow in attendance and participation by all saints. The teachings we received are encouraging and life-changing and help us to grow in God's kingdom. On Sunday the Bible study was led by Deacon Sherry-Ann Lewis. The word was ministered by Deacon Rose Daniels. The teachings we received are life-changing and help us to grow in the kingdom of God. After church, leaders were ready and prepared to go out in various communities looking for members that we had not seen in a while to talk and pray with them and their families. We thank you once again our Father and Mother Professors Ezekiel and Eunor Guti for your love towards Guyana. We are seeing tremendous growth here in Guyana.

There is so much joy in the church. Please continue to pray for us as we continue to pray for you.

BARBADOS

We continue to give thanks and praise to the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for an awesome week throughout all of our meetings. On Sunday, we had another powerful Bible Study facilitated by Brother Calvert and a powerful word of repentance was delivered by Deacon Jermaine and many repented and received their healing and deliverance.

It was truly an awesome day. Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you.

The Lord has been faithful here in Gujarat. All 3 assemblies are functional. Ever since the departure of Pastors Samundombe the church has remained in the imparted sweet spirit of the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel Guti. We recently held a big day to raise funding for our venue for the Easter conference and the day was a success. Also every Sunday we are having a combined provincial average of 75 people who come to worship at all 3 assemblies. The church is almost 100% students and we thank God for the mighty happenings that we continue to experience every time we congregate.

MAURITIUS

We thank our Lord for His goodness towards us in Mauritius. On Friday we received our Pastors, Pastor Thembinkosi and Priscilla Mupangeri. On Saturday, we had a welcome breakfast with our Pastors as we got to fellowship and get to know our Pastors. Sunday was powerful. The leaders met before service for prayer and what followed was a truly mighty and powerful service where the Lord ministered to His people. The attendance stood at 51 (including 13 children and 2 adult visitors). The presence of the Lord was overwhelming in the house of the Lord and the topic for the sermon was The Kingdom of God is from Generation to Generation. At the end of the service, many people with various situations were prayed for and experienced the power of our Lord Jesus Christ who is from generation to generation. It may have been our first service with our Pastors, but we thank the Lord for the great work He has started in Mauritius. Continue praying for us in Mauritius.

ZIMBABWE

Gweru - We would like to thank the God of our father Professor Ezekiel Guti for a successful children's conference which was held in two districts namely Harben park and Senga. At Harben park a total of 113 children and 6 child Evangelism teachers attended the conference. Pastor C. Knight and Elder L. Madyagwayi were the speakers who taught the children on Salvation, Peer pressure, Drug and substance abuse, Sexual abuse, the effects of music and technology as well as deliverance.

A total of 70 children gave their lives to Jesus Christ while more than 78 children were delivered. On Sunday parents were highlighted on challenges faced by adolescents and how to solve them, the working of ODCF and the importance of Children's Church.

Waterfalls East - We held a successful Sunday Evening Victory Service at Waterfalls East District with Evangelist A. Maziriri as the Speaker and the God of our Father did tremendous exploits:

A man who had a stroke was healed and began to walk without a crutch, he was also set free from the spirit of accidents and anti-progress after receiving a word of prophecy which he confirmed to be true.
A lady who was totally blind in one of her eyes since birth was totally healed and began to see clearly.
3 people who couldn't stretch their hands were instantly healed and were able to stretch their hands.

A number of people received prophecies for breakthroughs which they confirmed to be true, some had Job applications that had been turned down a number of times, others had financial stagnation and some needed opportunities abroad.
Another person was prayed for and began to hear clearly.
Some people with leg challenges were healed and began to run.

Our guest speakers were Bishop C and A Kapandura and other co-speakers were Evangelist Mark Mariya, Evangelist Fanuel Phiri, CE International Director Pastor Dope and Elder T Rabvukwa. We kicked off our conference on Thursday with an average attendance of about 200 to 600 on the last day and notably among the delegates were 6 pastors from EFZ. The main message centred on Creating Kingdom wealth, imparting knowledge, grounding believers in the doctrine of our church, growing our faith, raising standards and building mature believers. Many miracles happened during the conference. These included:

4 people were delivered from the spirit of barrenness,
8 people were delivered from heavy shoulders,
