As ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministries commemorates its 65th anniversary, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti had a heartfelt reflection on the remarkable journey of the ministry’s founding father, Archbishop Ezekiel Guti.
With a deep sense of spirituality and historical significance, her account paints a vivid portrait of a man driven by his faith and unwavering commitment to his mission.
Archbishop Guti’s story is one of divine encounters, perseverance, and dedication.
“He had a challenge of running away from his friends, as his friends did not like what he was doing.
“They wanted to enjoy life by doing the better things.
“But when he wanted to work and be baptised with water, he had to sneak away, and they only saw him when he was putting the wet clothes that he had taken off him on the line to dry,” she said.
She emphasised Archbishop Ezekiel Guti’s selflessness.
“He refused to buy a car when given money, choosing instead to care for others.
During the liberation war, he started an orphanage, initially feeding 19 children from their own home.
Despite facing overwhelming odds, he remained steadfast in his calling, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and uplift countless lives.
