All leaders have a need for relationships where they can be open and accountable. They also need to know that there are others who can stand with them in love and encouragement.
Every leader needs to have times away where they can gain new perspective on what is happening in their church and the church world. In our rapidly changing culture, there is a need to be aware of current trends and how to respond to them.
Most leaders desire ongoing training and further education so that they can become more effective at what they do. Through the regional conferences, networks, and website MFI will assist the leader in becoming better equipped to face the challenges of today.
Every leader desires to find resources for the growth and development of their leadership and church, yet researching these can take more time than the leader can give. Through the networks and website, MFI provides a forum for ongoing discussions on ministry tools as well as providing resource materials for all areas of worship: children, youth, missions, administration, business, worship and more. MFI also provides access to apostolic ministries and leaders who can provide counsel to leaders who are in need of assistance on any level.
Most church leaders are continually giving out and ministering to others, but who ministers to them? Where do the shepherds have an opportunity to be sheep and receive pastoral ministry? The MFI conferences are a place where leaders can have time away to receive refreshing and receive personal impartation.
All visionary leaders have a desire to be a part of something that is going to make a difference in the Kingdom of God. By joining together with other leaders of like vision, they will be able to make a much greater impact on the world and have a greater possibility of realizing the vision that is in their hearts. MFI’s international outreach and expansion can be shared by the entire membership of MFI.
Ministers Fellowship International has strong convictions regarding the autonomy of the local church. These underlying convictions affect everything that MFI does and guides every policy that MFI establishes.
Membership is an important part of MFI as it enables those serving the MFI members to know who each member is and how to serve the members and their leadership teams. Membership is entered through a defined process that includes an application and interview.
The MFI Regionals are geographical locations throughout the USA. The Regional has a planned event each year between January and June where pastors and leadership teams gather for a one day, two day or three day event set by the Regional Directors. These Regionals have teaching, Q&A, prayer for leaders, worship and meals together.
There is a regional director and a regional leadership team for each region. The purpose of team ministry in the region is to ensure that each region has a strategy to impact the region and that member ministers have someone they can readily relate to as a resource.
MFI sponsors an annual conference for the purpose of developing and deepening a broad base of relationships, inspire vision and bring refreshing to all levels of leaders. This conference is always a highlight of the year and a great time of refreshing and renewal.
Ministers Fellowship International is directed by an Apostolic Leadership Team which is made up of the Officers of the Fellowship, the Regional Directors and other proven, mature ministries.
We believe the vision of MFI to partner with pastors and leaders to build dynamic impacting local churches worldwide is the key to bringing restoration and revival globally to The Church.This conviction is at the core of MFI’s vision. To accomplish this dream, we partner with apostolic ministries and networks in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Australia, Nigeria, Ghana, Trinidad and Puerto Rico.
The strategy for the International Vision of MFI is overseen by the International Director and his strategy team. Their focus is connecting the local church ministries represented in MFI with apostolic leaders and networks globally. This strategy releases ministries and resources to empower, equip, and encourage pastors and leaders by the 1,000’s globally.
We exist to facilitate and nurture meaningful relationships among member ministers, equipping and enabling them to be more effective in their callings, for the purpose of building and multiplying strong local churches around the world.
