Apostles Update Week 22 JUNE 2025 Dear Friends, HAPPY 65TH ANNIVERSARY ZAOGA FIFMI!! In this month of June, a time to seek God, do not be left out of the prayer and fasting. After a powerful weekend of Pastors' Prayer conventions all over the FIFMI world, we believe God will also honor the Elders with His presence and life-changing experience. NAMIBIA Windhoek - Glory to the God of our Father Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, The God of new beginnings indeed we now have a new NAMIBIA. We thank God for remembering the nation of Namibia by sending our mom, the Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, with a high-profile international delegation of 24 members from different countries. The local female pastors and the team camped at Windhoek Central Province, while the Male pastors camped at Windhoek Southern Province. Our mom brought “the keys” to unlock the stronghold that was holding back the work and growth in the nation of Namibia, unleashing our Spiritual Independence. The camp consisted of Faith Clinic with true repentance and total deliverance. We received powerful life-changing teachings followed by intensive prayers in the Holy Spirit, leading to practical demonstration of unity and lots of love (Hugging Conference). Truly, the apostolic visit marked the birth of a renewed nation with new leaders. "Happy Spiritual Independence", Namibia!!

The gathering of 12 pastors, including bishops and their spouses, marked a significant continuation of the legacy. The convention featured esteemed speakers, National Bishop Odilo and his wife, along with Bishop Frazer and his wife, who were mightily used by God. As per the directive from Jerusalem, we engaged in separate prayers, focusing on key teachings about shepherding the flock, the power of prayer, respecting our elders, collaboration, caring for our spouses, personal character development, and learning from past pastoral experiences. Faith clinic sessions and prayer were integral components of the convention. We concluded our time together with a Holy Communion service for both male and female pastors.

ZAOGA ON CAMPUS NUST We give all glory to the God of our Father, Apostle E.H. Guti, who continues to elevate His church. As part of our vision to continue the legacy, we successfully conducted a gospel outreach in Cowdray Park, Bulawayo, from May 23 to June 1, where the presence and power of God were profoundly felt. The gospel of Jesus Christ was preached throughout Cowdray Park, making a significant impact on attendees from start to finish. Crusades held from May 26 to 31 brought together believers across the area, resulting in 150 souls saved. On June 1, we held a Holy Ghost service in the three regions of Cowdray Park District, where 15 individuals received the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues. Many were healed of various ailments, and numerous individuals were delivered from evil spirits. We believe this outreach marked a pivotal moment for the leadership and the church in Cowdray Park, with lasting effects that will transform the district. Westgate Girls' Province - Vhumba-Ngaone Prayer Retreat We give glory and honour to the God of our Father, Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti. We would like to appreciate our Overseers, S and S Chakombera, for their continued support, counsel, and love towards the Girls’ ministry. From the 30th of May to the 31st of May, a total number of 61 Westgate Province girls, accompanied by the Zonal Girls’ Pastor Nomsa Jaravani and three elders, Mudzingwa, Chiramba, and Mandeya, embarked on a journey of seeking God at Ngaone Chipinge at the place where our father encountered thick music and the voice of fear not, sin not. There was a mighty move of the Holy Spirit and revival, the atmosphere was filled with divine presence, and the prayer sessions brought deep spiritual impact. Our Elders and Pastor delivered teachings from the history book with power and clarity concerning the place, and there was a tangible impartation of the Word, which was witnessed by undeniable signs and wonders. This led to widespread deliverance from demonic oppression, deep emotional and physical wounds, sicknesses, and faith clinic was conducted as instructed by the Holy Spirit so that girls may receive their spiritual packages in clean vessels. The atmosphere climaxed on Saturday as the team climbed the Vhumba mountain despite the cold and harsh weather. Indeed, the God of Ezekiel highly favoured us as the history of the place was explained. We are believing God for an outbreak of miracles, breakthroughs, marriages, job opportunities, and many more endless blessings from the God of our Father Ezekiel Guti who allowed us to embark on this journey of spiritual growth, restoration, healing, empowerment and revival. All the glory to the God of Ezekiel. P.S Please be advised that our office will no longer be accepting Apostles Update reports sent on WhatsApp to the number +263 777 28 20 92.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE  Acts 16:4-5 “And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily”. Prayer is what has kept this church strong. Preaching is very easy, you can jump here yet the church remains dead but prayer is not for the pastors or elders, prayer is for everybody. Everybody has to pray. If you expect a revival, if you expect this church to win more souls in the cities, nothing else but prayer. Prayer is very, very important. When you pray you must be united. Don’t waste your time praying and fasting when you hate somebody and you talk bad about your brother and sister. The month of June is to forgive everybody and have a clean heart. You have to have a clean heart so that God can do mighty things in your city.....TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you We love you and are praying for you.
