    Our Mission

    Reaching Unreached People Groups with the Gospel

    Fire Over Africa is a ministry focused on reaching the unreached people of the world. We believe the best way to do this is by training and equipping local, indigenous leaders to plant churches in unreached areas. This, along with the various ways we help meet the basic human needs of the people we are reaching, allows us to present the Good News of Jesus Christ to a lost and hurting world.

    Fire Over Africa is based out of Hawassa, Ethiopia and serves communities throughout southern Ethiopia including Sidama, Gedeo, Gamo Gafo, and the Omo Valley. We have a vision to extend throughout Africa.

     


    What We See

    We see thriving and sustainable communities with clean water, ample food, healthy children, thriving families, supported schools and life-giving churches.  


    Projects

    We feed 32,000 children daily in schools, drill water wells, perform medical outreach, teacher training, and mobilize church planting in unreached areas.


    Get Involved

    Invite a member of our team to speak at your local church, organize a fundraiser for your church or small group, or join us on a mission trip.
