Our Name
Global is who we are.
Being Global represents are image. We have been called to reach the uttermost parts of the Earth and to remain a Kingdom movement. Therefore, the Kingdom is the sphere of God's rule and we enact it on a global scale.
Fire is what we bring.
Fire is a Greek word, pur, which means "a heap of fuel." It represents the judgment of God at the close of this present age previous to the establishment of all mankind before Christ.
Ministry is what we do.
Ministry is a word that means, "to serve." It is the office, duties or functions of a minister, which meets the needs of the people. We do this through evangelism, worship, giving and fellowship. We are all ministers in all sectors of society.

Our History
Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going
Global Fire International is often viewed as an overnight success. But what most people don't know is that this church had its beginnings in the heart of Pastor D when he was just 9 years old. While listening to a sermon from his grandfather, Dr. Benjamin Kelley, on Acts 2, he stumbled on a word that would change his life forever. Throughout the week, he kept hearing the word: “Fire.” That word proved to be the catalyst for a life mission of seeing people far from God fueled with fire for Christ in the local church. It was over the next 9 years that everything started to come together.
In 2008, Pastor D was accepted into the prestigious Morehouse College. After his going away celebration, all of his life came crashing down on him. With his dreams crushed and ministry plans shattered, he moved forward and under the leading of the Spirit, stayed in New York City with his family and later attended Nyack College. In January 2009, he began having leadership meetings with a demand to launch a radical, yet, relevant ministry. Through God's favor and a relentless pursuit of a singular mission, Global Fire International has reached over 100,000 for the Kingdom of God since its inception. Additionally, hundreds have been changed from the powerful preaching and relevant teaching. From humble and sacrificial beginnings, God has placed his hand on Global Fire International and we truly believe the best is yet to come!
