Forward in Faith Ministries International (FIFMI), is a powerful Pentecostal ministry, whose agenda is to preach the true and uncompromising gospel of Jesus Christ. This gospel is not founded on the doctrines of man, but of Jesus Christ, as fulfilled on the day of Pentecost.

On 12 May 1960, Ezekiel Guti responded to God’s special call, a call which led to the birth of the ministry under a eucalyptus tree, and in one of the most primitive countrysides of Zimbabwe called Bindura.
In 1963, as he prayed in the Bindura caves, God spoke to him and said,
“Learn and read the English bible and learn to preach in English because you shall go to many countries with my word.”
He did so in the caves everyday with prayer and fasting, and today the ministry of Forward in Faith has reached far and wide, with locations all over the world.
Many people across the continents have given their lives to Jesus Christ in response to the preaching of the gospel through FIFMI.
The ministry has a burning passion to bring the timeless message of hope and salvation to all nations. This also includes western nations which were once on fire for the Lord but have seen a rapid decline in morality and in the preaching of the true gospel. FIFMI is ministering throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australasia, the Americas and various Island nations across the globe.
Below are our beliefs on some keys areas of the faith. Our beliefs are rooted in the word of God with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone of the church.
We believe in the triune God; God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe in both the Old Testament and the New Testament and that all Scriptures in the Holy Bible are the divinely inspired Word of God
All have sinned and are in need of salvation which God provided through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation comes by conversion (repentance). We emphasize that man must be born again by the word of God. (1 Peter 1:23)
A believer must be filled with the Holy Spirit and the evidence is speaking in tongues. The true Holy Spirit bears fruit. (Galatians 5:22, 2 Cor. 3:17)
Healing has been provided by Jesus Christ for every believer. We believe in the laying on of hands upon the sick. James 5:14 says when anyone is sick, call the elders of the church.
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust
The return of Jesus Christ will be in person, will be visible, and will be soon
We believe in the baptism of water by immersion (John 3:23. Acts 8:38. Matthew 28:18-20
We observe of the Lord’s supper (Holy Communion) as commanded by Jesus. (Matt 26:26-30. 1 Cor. 11: 23-25)
