VATICAN CITY, APRIL 25, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Prayerful reading of Scripture, and the consequent reform of life, is the secret to the constant renewal of the Church, Benedict XVI says.

Flame Ministries International is first and foremost, A School of the Word - Feeding the Poor in Spirit. Its main Bible Seminar is Set My People on Fire, a 15 Week In-Depth Charismatic Bible Seminar inspired through a prophecy received during prayer on Christmas Eve 1989. Since then it has brought thousands in Australia, Malayasia, Indonesia, Uganda, Mexico, Portugal, England and the USA to Christ and a renewed faith, and so forms our flagship Bible program encompassing biblical subjects pertaining to redemption, spiritual growth and evangelisation.

SMPOF: Different from other Holy Spirit Seminars.

Unlike many Life in the Spirit Seminars that usually conclude after five to seven weeks with basic teaching and experience of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Set My People On Fire continues for a further ten weeks which takes the delegates to a greater understanding, depth and formation in the Word of God. SMPOF also prepares participants to become effective in their evengelisation efforts.

The Teachings unfold over fifteen weekly sessions with three retreat weekends every fifth week.

All the teaching subjects are based first and foremost on Holy Scripture, Dei Verbum and the Catholic Catechism. They unfold the Biblical understanding and contents, applying them to what they mean for us today. During these sessions Altar Calls, ministry for healing and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit occur as the Spirit leads. All the Charismatic Gifts are encouraged to be used by the participants during the praise-time before the teachings begin.

Seminar Structure: The seminars are presented in three phases.

Weekly Sessions:

The first five weekly sessions cover subjects essential to conversion and empowering by the Holy Spirit.

The second five weekly sessions cover subjects pertaining to spiritual growth and equipping for a fuller Christian lifestyle.

The last five weekly sessions prepare the delegates for the work of evangelisation giving them a formation to defend and proclaim their faith and the Gospel of Christ.

Three Retreat Weekends:

These weekends allow subject matter to be unfolded in greater depth. Also, by encouraging the delegates to provide shared meals it assists in building friendships and consolidates the seminars for the weekly sessions that follow.

Two modes of participation: Registered Delegates & Participants.

Registered Delegates:

Registered Delegates receive Weekly Study Notes at the end of each evening. These Notes are for their Private and Personal Use Only relating to these Seminars.

The Notes have a written overview of the session with Daily Bible Studies leading into the next session.

Each delegate also completes a Weekly Questionnaire.
The questions are taken from the spoken word during the preaching session, from the Bible passages quoted in that session, from the Bible Study during the week and from the Notes themselves.

Certificate of Achievement.
Delegates receive a Certificate of Achievement after completing the required criteria of the Seminar.

Participants:

Participants are those who do not want to receive a certificate.
They are allowed to attend the whole evening and fully participate but do not receive the Daily Study Notes nor a Certificate on completion. There are well in excess of one thousand people who have completed these seminars and many more have attended. Numerous healing and conversions have been reported as a result of these seminars.

This web site publishes personal testimonies from SMPOF as well as other FMI functions. The fruits of this seminar are proving to be prolific and lasting and have been suitable for, and beneficial to clergy, religious and laity who have all benefited greatly.

The Catholic Archbishop of Perth recommends SMPOF at an annual Flame Congress.

During his message at an Annual Flame Congress, Archbishop Hickey publicly recommended the "Set My People On Fire" seminars as an excellent source of Biblical teaching, especially as a living experience of the Word of God for the participants.

The first Graduation Rally, Leicester University, England. In 1994 SMPOF was conducted for the first time in England in Peterborough and Birmingham. It is now conducted twice a year all over the UK by Derek Williams FMI. For details on current seminars in the UK and Australia go to: FMI EVENTS

Fill the world with a fire burning bright,
and let them know that I am Lord,
Give to them a great desire for My Light,
and let them know they can be whole.

Turn your eyes upon the message in My Word,
and let the Words become your life.
Give to them an everlasting firelight
and make them all My steadfast sons.

Know that I will walk within you in the world,
know that I am filling you.
Let them know they can be leaders in the night,
give them all new hope in Me.

Tell the world that I am coming in My might,
show them how I want to move.
Give to them My message written for all men,
and make them all, the blind to see.

I am coming in waves of power.
I am coming in storms.
Filling the world with My Glory,
before I take My Church home.

Get yourselves ready for battle,
guard yourselves all around.
Put on all of My armour,
trained by My own right hand.

Set My People On Fire.
Show them how they can be.
Give them all new hope for the future.
Show them how life is in Me.
