The Founder & Vision

Rev. Annanius T. Ralekholela, came to know the Lord on 6th June 1978.  He is married to Emily and they have four children to love and take care of.  Heres is a bold and imaginative man who is raised by God for times such as these. Through the years, he has developed a deep passion for the unreached people all over the world. He received his theological training from the International Theological Institute. For a period of seven years he then pastored a church in the mountainous kingdom of Qwa-Qwa, R.S.A.

His ministry was a great success in that church and from his church the Lord raised other outstanding church leaders and pastors, "A strong leader will always produce himself in others."

As his passion for world evangelism intensified, he resigned from his pastoral duties on 1st July 1987. The outcry of was and still is "God's fire Burning in Africa" which emanated from his visionof God's Fire emerging from South Africa, spreading to other African states and then the rest of the world. As a result he founded a world evangelisation agency by the name of "Gospel Fire Evangelistic Ministries International."

Gospel Fire Evangelistic Ministries International understands itself as a God ordained agency to spread the fire of the Gospel of Christ in Africa and the whole world, the act which must bring about spiritual transformation and revival, both in this generation and those to come.

What is our Strength

Rev. Annanius Ralekholela displays a deep dedication to his vision and a noticeable creativity to keep it alive. This makes him one of the leading evangelists on South Africa capable of impacting even the world.  Many organisations similar to his have mushroomed and vanished in the course of time probably due to a lack of deep conviction, dedication and/or creativity on the part of the leaders.

He preaches tirelessly and shares his vision unselfishly.  The internal records show that he has reached more than a million people in the past ten years. The Lord has given him favour among various races of South Africa and in the educational circles.

The personnel are well constiuted and organised. Everybody is committed to the vision of this agency. Co-operation and mutual respect characterises our workmanship.
