Western Australia.
This
page contains our brief History, Mission Statement,
Vision, Credentials, Canonical Status, Contacts in
Australia, Singapore and
England.
1990
- The beginning.
In
January 1990 Archbishop William J Foley (the
late Archbishop of Perth) gave his blessing to
conduct a biblical seminar called Set My People On
Fire which was based upon a
prophecy
received during prayer on Christmas Eve 1989. This
prophecy was to later form the vision and mandate
for Flame Ministries International. The first
Set
My People On Fire(SMPOF) seminars was conducted in February
1990 with great success.
Since its small beginning it has been preached
twice a year in Australia and, during 1994 in
Birmingham and Peterborough in England by the
Australian speakers. Since 2004 with the
appointment of Derek Williams as a Catholic
Evangelist for FMI, SMPOF has been preached in
various areas and parishes around the United
Kingdom where demand for Derek Williams' ministry
and SMPOF is growing.
Flame Ministries International was founded later
in 1990.
Later in 1990 The Lord showed Mr. Eddie Russell his
vision called "Flame" Ministries. This vision was
formulated and accepted by the authors of "Set My
People On Fire" and Archbishop Foley who gave his
blessing to function in the Archdiocese of
Perth.
Status & Credentials. Canonical
Status.
On January 17th 1996 His Grace The Most Rev, Barry
James Hickey, Archbishop of Perth, Western
Australia granted Flame Ministries International
Canonical Status as "an association of Christ's
faithful" under Canon 301(p3) entitled to
use the name "Catholic" Canon 300.
Commissioned as Lay Catholic
Evangelists.
His Grace, The Most Reverend Archbishop Barry James
Hickey, gave a Special Blessing and Commissioned
the Senior Directors as Catholic
Evangelists
which was later publicly confirmed during an
Institution Ceremony conducted by Bishop Healy. The
Archbishop also accepted Vows of Obedience and
Commissioned them to Preach the Gospel and to
fulfill the Great Commission.
Our Mission is
to: (1)
Evangelisethe unbeliever that they may know
Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, the Baptism of
the Holy Spirit, the Baptism of Fire and, the
fullness of life within the Church.
(2)
Evangelise the Churched that they may grow in their
Faith, Life in the Holy Spirit and the fullness of
Christian Revelation by the proclamation of the
Word of God.
(3) Evangelise and reach out to lapsed and
disenfranchised Catholics giving them an
opportunity to reconcile and enter fully into the
life of the Church once more.
Second
Edition
It's Faith Jim. But not as we know it -
Second Edition Now Avaialble.
"...The author immediately takes us boldly where
no Catholic writer, as far as I know, has gone
before..." - Fr John Rea SM. NZ Catholic
August 26, 2006
"I've heard from a lady who had just read the
chapter in which he (Eddie) describes
raising the dead nun to life when she herself
had to deal with someone who was apparently
dead. She drew faith from Eddie's book and the
young woman came back to life." - Fr John Rea
SM. August 31 2006
"It's Faith Jim, is on a par with C.S. Lewis
'Mere Christianity'."

FMI
is a Non-Profit Organisation.
ABN
92130821513
The
total funding of FMI relies entirely on Divine
Providence and the generosity of those who support
its work by their donations
and offerings.
Our work is to: Preach,
teach (the Gospel), evangelise. Write and
develop Evangeliation Programmes, Biblical seminars
and Video and Audio Productions. Write and publish
books, magazines, compose and publish music. Run
conferences, rallies, parish and school missions,
retreats, youth programmes and leadership training.
Form, develop, and conduct Prayer (Praise)
meetings and missionary outreaches both in the
Catholic Church and to the wider Body of Christ
throughout the world.
FMI does
not discriminate.
There
is no distinction between age, status, gender or
nationality. FMI gives everyone a clear opportunity
to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour,
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the truths of Holy
Scripture and life within the Church as its normal
ethos.
FMI does
not permitany
form of "Inclusion" nor
"Syncretism." We
believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ needs no
other religion, pagan belief or New Age philosophy
to embellish its efficacy for Salvation.
Annual Flame Congress.
An Annual
Congress
is held in Perth during January each year. The
Annual Flame Congress has attracted international
speakers of note and attendance in excess of 3,000
people over any one weekend. During these times
many people have experienced healing and
salvation. Since
its formation in 1990.

has ministered in Australia, Pakistan, Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, England, Mexico, USA, Uganda
and Portugal where it has conducted seminars,
parish missions, priests and lay retreats, youth

Derek Williams was appointed as an
FMI Evangelist and established a Regional
Office in Peterborough England.

FMI
Books Published. In 1997, Senior Director and Evangelist, Eddie
Russell wrote and published his first book called
"12
Steps To Divine
Healing".
This book is proving very popular around the world.
There have been reports that people have received
healing, insight and encouragement from Jesus
through reading this book. More than anything else,
this book shows the reader "how" to receive from
God what He has divinely promised in His Word. In
January 2001 12 Steps to Divine Healing was
translated into the German language and published
in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It is now
available in all Book Stores in all German speaking
countries. In 2003 the book was also translated
into Portuguese and Slovenian.
In 2005 Eddie Russell wrote and published his
second book on the mystery of faith called,
It's
Faith Jim, but not as we know
it.
In the August 26 2006 NZ Catholic Newspaper's
book by Fr John Rea SM, he said, "...The
author immediately takes us boldly where no
Catholic writer, as far as I know, has gone
before..."
On August 31 2006, a letter from Fr John Rea
said, "I've heard from a lady who had just read the
chapter in which he describes raising the dead nun
to life when she herself had to deal with someone
who was apparently dead. She drew faith from
Eddie's book and the young woman came back to
life."
Another review by Catholic Journalist James
Hastings of the Catholic Times UK said, "It's
Faith Jim, is on a par with C.S. Lewis 'Mere
Christianity'."
