The GFA is an apostolic commissioning ministry. This means that we are called as a family of spiritual leaders to recognize, develop, nurture and release through prophetic confirmation and apostolic release, emerging leaders in their specified gift and calling. This is important as we are focused on national and international revival and reformation. Revival atmospheres are initiated by revival type leaders.

FAQ's- Frequently Asked Questions concerning the Global Fire Alliance .
1. What is the purpose of an apostolic/ministerial network?
The purpose of an apostolic network is to gather spiritual leaders, from various regions of the world who share like passions to make maximum impact by gathering their resources and influences for the cause outlined in the vision. Two are better than one according to the scriptures. Apostolic networks also serve as the means by which ministers and ministries can stay current as to what God is saying and doing across the world and how to stay on the cutting edge.
2. Who can benefit from becoming a partner/member of GFA?
Literally, anyone who is committed to uncompromising holiness and a desire to see the power of God, through signs, wonders, dramatic salvations and healing experiences
with the Lord should consider joining. Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Singers, Intercessors, and Musicians can all retreat to the GFA for periods of personal ministry and resource.
3. Does the Global Fire Alliance ordain ministers? If so, why?
We absolutely do! A major part of the ministry of GFA is to commission next generation leadership. We do this because most traditional organizations do not minister extensively to people being ordained. We believe that when people are set apart that there should be witnesses, strong apostolic and prophetic presbyters to prophesy concerning the transferring of gifts and abilities, and strong apostolic commissioning personified to the persons individual destiny. We also do this to keep ministers ministering within the covering and accountability of GFA within ministerial ethics and behaviors. Most churches and religious organizations carry a lot of unbiblical standards for ordination and impartation, which is why we feel the need to help to set qualified leadership regardless of age or gender in their gift and ministry before heaven, earth and hell!
4. What is the denominational background of the Global Fire Alliance?
The Global Fire Alliance is an Interdenominational network. This means that we do not necessarily have a denominational background. We do however accept ministers and ministries that do have denominational affiliation as long as they understand the mandate of this ministry. The Global Fire Alliance is accountable to other networks and leaders across the country.
5. How can one become a member of the GFA?
An individual seeking affiliation with the Global Fire Alliance, should first pray to see if this is the family for them, then, simply attend one of the annual or quarterly gatherings, fill out the needed application, and then meet with one of our directors. Simple as one, two, three.
6. Many ministerial organizations require financial obligation, I would like to become a member of the GFA, but I cannot currently afford any financial obligations. Can I become a member?
Absolutely! Here at the Global Fire Alliance we are strictly moved by mandates and not money. Some choose to tithe, others choose to give an offering, but neither is demanded. We ask that each person affiliated with network contribute monthly, quarterly or yearly as they are able to but in the event that they are not really able to, just speak to one of our directors to explain your situation. Your financial status does not alter your ability to affiliate with this ministry. We have a job to do and it will get done through the provision of God.
7. Since the GFA is mainly built around concepts of relationship, how often will the GFA ministers need to meet?
In order to stay on the cutting edge of what God is doing and saying in this nation and around the world, we think that gathering together is of the utmost importance. As the yearly schedule permits, we will have two MAIN gatherings a year. One will be held in the beginning of the year and the other at the end. Although these are the two main gatherings we will have many yearly seminars based upon the need. We ask that you please make every attempt possible to reserve the two main gatherings on your calendars as God will be speaking very specific direction for the network through our network leaders, each gathering.
8. I am from out of town and I know the GFA is based in Chicago, should I become a member and if so how could my region benefit from my relationship with the GFA?
If you are in a region where there isn't much teaching on the miraculous, or apostolic leadership or any other message of our ministry, we will definitely try to plan to send apostolic teams to minister at intimate gatherings in that region. You can benefit by becoming apart of GFA because, if we carry the spirit and essence of what you feel God wants to do in that area, then you need help and family to support you. You are more than welcomed to join us.
