Despite his desire to simply preach Jesus and not to establish a church, after facing many hardships, God led Apostle Ezekiel Guti to Bindura, Zimbabwe in 1960. On the 12th of May that same year, ZAOGA was born under a Gum Tree. Then known as AOGA, the church was later named ZAOGA Forward in Faith, in Zimbabwe, and is now also known as Forward in Faith Ministries International (FIFMI) around the world. Apostle Dr. EH Guti was a sought-after speaker worldwide, and traveled extensively across the globe. From the 1970s, he ministered throughout Africa, USA (40+ states), United Kingdom, various countries in Europe, UAE, Asia, Australia / New Zealand, along with many islands. Apostle Ezekiel Guti’s legacy epitomizes the definition of “spiritual father” as he trained and replicated himself in over 10,000 pastors who now serve in FIFMI churches and in other ministries worldwide. Marriage to Apostle Dr. Eunor Guti  Archbishop Ezekiel Guti’s life story was further enriched by his marriage to his beloved wife and fellow laborer in the gospel, the maidservant of God Apostle Dr. Eunor Guti. With a marriage spanning five decades, their union remains an enduring source of inspiration for couples worldwide. Through their remarkable example, ZAOGA FIFMI has a powerful marriage ministry that is touching lives. Archbishop Ezekiel Guti authored numerous books on marriage, which proved instrumental in saving marriages and undoubtedly will continue to do so until the return of Jesus. Supernatural Longevity  Archbishop Ezekiel Guti remained strong and active, even working full days as a centenarian. He credited his long life to daily reading of the Word of God saying, “I eat Jesus everyday”, and to the prayers of the members of ZAOGA Forward in Faith who interceded for him daily throughout his ministry. Truly the lifespan reached by Apostle Dr. Ezekiel Guti is a testimony to the power of prayer, and of faith in God. Over many decades, intercessors in Forward in Faith churches worldwide sang a song during prayer meetings that said: “We pray and ask, with tears and faith, for Ezekiel to be given more years to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, the world over in many nations.” This prayer was heard by God, and the Lord enabled Ezekiel to preach the gospel all over the world before he took him home, after he had emptied himself of all that God had put on his heart to do.
