*A Conference to remember*

The recently ended Kingdom Woman Once in 5 years Conference ticked all the boxes and has since been described by many as a paragon of excellence.

Faith In God Ministries International Kingdom Woman held their once in 5 years Conference in Zimbabwe at AMFCC which was attended by delegates from around the world. The four-day Conference surpassed in all its set objectives through a carefully woven seamless sessions and activities.

For Kingdom Woman, these Once in 5 years Conferences have been much more than just gatherings, there has been so more to draw from them as intimated by Apostle Mavis Gurupira speaking to this publication before the 2024 Conference.

"Once in 5 years has been as a result of growth in ministry, it has been proving difficult to gather administratively because of huge numbers and also people being scattered all over the world. So we left a reasonable number in Provinces so they can meet in 4 years. Since 2014 when we had our first once in 5 years in Bulawayo we have seen remarkable growth numerically, spiritually and in excellence", revealed Apostle Mavis Gurupira.

The inclusive nature of the Kingdom Woman Once in 5 years Conference is commendable and should be emulated. It shrinks gaps in between Daughters of Faith Ministry as well as Royal Family. These groups are all incorporated under Kingdom Women Once in 5 years Conference. This ensures clear cut continuity of leadership and value preservation on part of Daughters of Faith which is mainly youngwomen ministry. They get training by imitation and association thereby diminishing any leadership vacuum in future.

The highlights of the AMFCC once in 5 years Conference included a session when the Lady Bishops in attendance introduced their Regions to The General Overseer and Founder Archbishop Dr. Asa Gurupira. A perfect indication of growth in Fig! Highlights also included nourishing Sermons and Teachings by carefully selected fusion of international and local Speakers, Worship Night with Minister Takesure Zamah, Modelling, Gifts and Talents. During the conference Apostle Mavis launched her book "What not to do for the dead" which has been described as timely by some due to plenty dissenting heressies are crawling in families spaces. Kingdom Woman Ministry summed it all up when they appreciated their leader Apostle Mavis Gurupira by gifting her with a latest Toyota Harrier SUV.

Attached below are some of the photographs from the Once in 5 Years Conference.

Archbishop’s current official offices unveiled

The offices that will be hosting the Archbishop and his personnel was unveiled during a ‘WalkThrough event’ held in Zimbabwe’s Capital Harare on Friday the 21st of June 2024.

The event attended by various clergy and cleric members that included Apostles, Overseers
from Fig and outside, District Pastors, Pastors, Strategic Ministers and Administration
Personnel was aimed at familiarizing attendants with the new the premise.

Speaking at the event, Archbishop Dr. Asa Gurupira expressed his gratitude and appreciation
for the office space which will house not only him but Apostle Mavis Gurupira as well.

“My profound gratitude goes to Fig Executive Board for organizing a private office for me
which will afford us an invaluable opportunity to execute our international duties in a quiet
environment”, expressed Dr. Gurupira.

With the hand of history on his shoulder, Archbishop Gurupira recently returned from a
triumphant missionary journey together with Apostle Mavis where they planted Fig Angola,
an undisputable testimony of growth within Fig. With a strong presence in 5 of the world’s 7
continents, spiritual and administrative work in Fig demands that more be done in
consolidating that growth. A befitting work environment for Fig’s highest office is surely a
good starting point.
Marking the beginning of operations at the new offices, Fig International Executive Board Vice
Chairperson, Apostle Girinjara Gilbert had the honor of cutting the ribbon alongside Fig
Leadership.

Walking in the offices in Belvedere Harare, one will likely meet Minister Mutsawashe
Mutambira who is the Personal Assistant to the Archbishop, Tsitsi Chidembo the Secretary,
Garikayi Mauro manning the Missions and Resource Mobilizing Unit (RMU) and Caretakers

Mr and Mrs Chari.
The colourful event would by no means could have ended without Dr. Gurupira issuing out
key life uplifting and very practical nuggets to the audience during hos keynote remarks.
Attached below are some of the photographs from the event.

Good news reaching us from the great Nation of Angola 🇦🇴.

May it be imprinted in the annals of Fig history that in the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty Four during the month of June on the 16th day God remembered Fig. Archbishop Dr. Asa and Apostle Mavis Gurupira held the first ever Church Service in Fig’s first Church Assembly in the nation of Angola. All to say Fig Angola was born!

Stretching the missions boundaries and enlarging kingdom territories, Fig's Founders began their quest for Angola by paying a courtesy call on the Zimbabwean Diplomat in Angola Ambassador Thando Madzvamuse and his Team earlier on in the week.

In Fig Angola's first service on Sunday witnessed 3 people give their lives to the Lord marking start of a great work in the Atlantic coast of Southern Africa region.

Fig's man of peace Pastor Albino Bruno provided by God to Archbishop through miraculous doors is expected to visit Zimbabwe for some orientation soon. Fig International Missions Department will later dispatch Fig Representative to Angola Pastor J. Ndimande who will work with Pastor Bruno in Angola Mission.

Angola comes in as fulfillment of a great yearning by The Archbishop which he would relate repeatedly since last year. Leading from the front and stretching the web of Church Assemblies and Strategic Ministries engulfing the world with the gospel of the kingdom of God.

Attached are some of the photographs from the Church Service and some from the Courtesy call at Zimbabwe Embassy in Angola.

*Fig’s 5th Core Value*

Team Excellence is Faith In God Ministries International ’s own *WHETSTONE* carefully enacted and set up for a very specific and clear purpose. This special Department comes to make sharp and smooth all the rusty, rugged edges that had gone blunt along the way and restore the bright light shine of Excellence.

Birthed out the 2021-2025 Pillar Objectives - Consolidation in particular, Team Excellence was set up but not limited to Champion the entrenching of excellence within Fig as a whole. The Department was charged to standardize operations and create uniformity. In the arise and the run and grind and toil in pursuit of Church Assembly growth, little but important things can be left unattended and unchecked. Some remain harmless and just hygienically untidy whereas others might even derail and cause departure from the 5th Core Value of Excellency. These Core Values are there for a reason. Team Excellence comes to assist with alignment and realignment towards Consolidation. The Fig of 2001 is surely not the one of 2010 which is different from the one of 2020. Work has grown and spread in many Nations, Cultures, Continents and Regions yet Fig must remain as one in its pattern as painted by the Vision. Team Excellence does exactly that one major task of upholding that oneness through their trainings. Team Excellence should be welcomed by everyone in Fig in the dispensing of their mandate. Most importantly, they must be listened to as they carry an instruction that benefits the Ministry.

Team Excellence is a template, a measure and has a standard of how a service should run in a Church Assembly. How a Conference, a Meeting or a Ministry/Department should function. Following their guidelines and recommendations brings uniformity throughout the entire Fig Web regardless of geographical proximities etc. Their teachings are practical as they are applicable.

And offcourse it's not without it's own share of misconceptions regards the operations of Team Excellence and the Excellency Core Value. Topping the list is the notion that excellence is a resource intensive exercise that demands lots of money. It is not so and remote from the Team's teachings. Which is exactly why everyone should have direct contact with Team Excellence so they may extinguish all ignorance pertaining their operations. Team Excellence is for everyone and is available on demand. All one need to do is reach out to them via Pastor Rumbidzai Fate on +263773772640.

As Fig's 2021-2025 Pillar Objectives draw nigh it's graceful end next year, consider the 5th Core Value ?

These small victories must be treasured at all times because Ministry is like a fine deodorant, works better in small doses. A series of small successes builds up a strong traceable Ministry that survives ages. Small doses allow for the roots to firmly deepen in order to sustain fruits up. Slow but very significant success!

The images attached were shot during Fig Dubai Conference 2024 when The Bishop, Prophet Chapfika visited as part of his Missions voyage.

The Conference witnessed Bishop Chapfika charging Elder Shaw and Annie Chimombe with assisting the work replacing Elder Brian Takarusenga who relocated to New Zealand. The Bishop also ordained into the office of a Deacon Fungai Machanyanga.

Fig Dubai Assembly is on the rising trajectory as witnessed by the excellence in the recently held Conference which was attended by not less than 20 delegates.

Bishop Austin Chapfika referred by some by the moniker “Bulldozer” has since left Dubai and landed in Sydney Australia where like his nickname, he is expected to break fallow grounds and establish inroads for Fig.

Meanwhile, Fig Home Of Love Assembly from Mvurwi previously known as Umvukwesi celebrated their 1st Anniversary last Sunday.

What began on the 23rd of April 2022 with only 8 adults and a child has today since grown into a Strategic launch pad for Fig in the entire Mashonaland Central Province.

Mvurwi is a small town of about 15 645 population according to 2022 census and lays about 102 km on the Harare - Guruve highway under Mazowe District. A fruitful place which fell under the "Breadbasket" region together with Banket and Shamva where food stuffs and gold leaf is produced in abundance.

In their first baby step, Home of Love Assembly managed to achieve some notable initiatives in the Donje Community where the Assembly is domiciled. Sometime last year they donated some much needed medical implements to the nearby Clinic which went a long way assisting their maternity ward. But not only that, HOL embarked on a plan to help complete a block of classrooms at Mbari Primary School. All this falls in line with the Vision that Archbishop Asa Gurupira received and communicated of Operation Hope (OPH) which would serve as an *Afterburner"* for Fig operations everywhere in the area of Missions.

Pastor Chindedza and Amai belongs to the "Bomb Squad" Community of World Of Love Assembly. These are a Team of young and energetic Pastors launched like missiles by their Senior Pastor - The Archbishop to gain missions ground home here in Zimbabwe. The initiative is bearing fruit and Fig Home Of Love Assembly is a perfect perfecf testimony to that.

Meanwhile, a small token of only $15 or it's equivalence in any of the world 's currencies can unleash a certain horizon vast with knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge in the area of parenting at a time when the fundamentals of parenting are seriously challenged and godly pillars are being shaken to the very foundations.

Reverend Chido Muradzikwa' s recently released book *"Parenting God’s Way"* which has naturally been adopted as s Fig Foundational Material is a must have resource. With adequate fire - power to touch both extremes of Parenting for Parents and Teaching for Peachers and Leaders, the book is many things to many people. It's topics are palatable and relevant in all cultures transcending all barriers and they are based on the universality of scriptures.

Has it occurred to you that, there are some forces right now that are hell bent on wanting you to appear old fashioned and irrelevant as a parent? Hellhounds that are churning out numerous vices that seeks to replace you in the innocent lives of your own unsuspecting Children or those under your guardianship. Well, this book by Reverend Chido examines that Indepth and offers a great deal of advices on how to sail these troubled waters. Drug and Substance abuse has become everyone's concern because one way or the other, everyone is affected, the book touches on that important element as well.

The books also serves as a gentle reminder of how much parenting is a blessing that everyone should embrace with the joy of The Lord. And all this and more is accessible from Fig Headquarters for a small fee of $15. Special shipping arrangements can be made for those in other areas.

Meanwhile, Fig Trinity District of Harare South Province led by Dp Regina Milaso completed their first event meant at empowering their District and their community as part of their Operation Hope (OPH) obligation.

Working with an Organisation called Zimbabwe Keys For Success Nurse Aide, Fig Trinity District facilitated the training of more than 45 Nurse Aids from which 10 are from Fig with the remainder from the community.

The quest by Operation Hope Trust International - OPHTI of empowering Church Assemblies with necessary tools to impact their communities is bearing fruit. Events like these are a sure testimony to OPHTI's Sensitization thrust's success.

Fig's Operation Hope Trust International is a global movement where compassion, empowerment, and sustainable development converge to eliminate poverty’s grip on the lives of the vulnerable.

Meanwhile, Faith In God Ministries International General Overseer Archbishop Dr Asa Gurupira yesterday officially launched the Resource Mobilisation Unit (RMU) in an event that was widely attended both physically and virtually.

Resource Mobilisation Unit, a department within Faith In God Ministries International charged with mobilising resources for the construction of learning facilities across the world has their work accurately cut out for them and needs every support from everyone .

In his keynote remarks, Dr. Gurupira challenged Fig and Figians to rewrite the narrative which currently projects Church in Africa in a deemed light.

"Fig is called upon to shift in a way Church has been viewed in Africa; a western funded initiative, in which a Pastor comes looking for employment, surviving in menials.

Fig is called upon to scale the Resource Mobilisation Mountain", said Archbishop Dr Asa Gurupira.

The benefits projected to come out of these Fig Learning Institutions are numerous and long-lasting. Fig learning Centres will influence communities with not only combating illiteracy alongside the government's in any particular nation but will also help develop a total man through exposure to sound Doctrine.

Evangelist Faith Munditi who is the Chairperson of Resource Mobilisation Unit weighed in with some very achievable proposals that would see Fig raise a substantial figure enough to embark on constructing the first learning facility.

The colourful event was attended physically by Apostle Mavis, Bishop and Lady Bishop Kaseke, Apostle, Overseers, District Pastors, Pastors Strategic Ministers and many Leaders within Fig.
