May we introduce ourselves?

Peter and Rebekka Franz are on fire for missions. Since 1988 they have been traveling throughout Africa bringing the gospel of joy, peace and deliverance to the people. Many have found Jesus Christ as their savior and wonderful miracles have occurred as the Word was preached.
Unfortunately, there are still many who have never heard or understood Christ's message of redemption. The gospel of Jesus Christ still needs to be brought to many regions, districts, cities and towns.
With a strong team of African and European co-workers, and in collaboration with local churches, an evangelistic ministry developed to what today is "Gospel Fire International" (G.F.I.)
Well prepared evangelistic campaigns are held with a strong emphasis on training counselors, ushers, and leaders so as to secure a good follow-up later.
GFI is also involved in: TV, video and audio productions, children and music programs, counseling as well as self-help projects. Emphasis is put on seminars, so as to better help equip people for service.
In areas of great poverty, GFI plays a great role in helping the poor and needy in a practical way.

People come with great needs. Through prayer many receive help and deliverance.

The Truck transports the equipment over rugged roads.

AIDS awareness, as well as food, medicine and clothing is distributed to the needy and poverty stricken, even at most remote places.

Children and young people are a special focus, as often they are innocent of what is going on around them.

Churches are strengthened and motivated to cooperation by seminars and follow up programs.

Many people come forward to receive Jesus Christ as Lord - a life changing experience.

more about us

Working together with local churches and cultivating healthy relationships with other Organizations is of great importance to Peter and Rebekka Franz. Before GFI grew to what it is today, it was part of the "Volksmission entschiedener Christen e.V." in Germany. GFI still today enjoys a good relationship to the original sending churches.

Rev. Reinhard Bonnke (Christ for all Nations) writes:
I know Pastor Peter Franz quite well. I met him for the first time a few years ago in Kenya. Peter is an Evangelist. He has a burning heart for the lost, a penetrating evangelistic message, does not easily give up and lives a holy life. The Lord has anointed him for this ministry. Right now he especially needs our prayers and financial support. I recommend him and his organization with all my heart.

Rev. Peter Wenz, Pastor of the "Biblische Glaubensgemeinde Stuttgart" writes:
I personally know Peter Franz from our time together at the Theol. Seminar "Beröa", Erzhausen/Germany. His love for Jesus and for the unsaved impressed me back then. Today God is using Peter and his wife in a wonderful way in winning literally thousands to the kingdom of God. I want to warmly recommend his ministry and encourage you to support the ministry of "Gospel Fire International". We can best do this through prayer and supporting them financially as well.
