Our History

The vision for Holy Fire Fellowship began in my heart while I was studying and seeking the Lord in the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida.  The Lord spoke to me to plant a church that would be a base for revival and missions in Brisbane, Australia.  After I graduated from the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry, I was sent out from my home church, Abundant Life Christian Fellowship, to fulfill this call with my soon to be precious wife, Anna.

The moment we started meeting in Brisbane (June 1999) God began to move powerfully.  God gave us quite a few divine appointments with believers of a kindred heart who felt called to join the vision.  As the church started people were saved, delivered, and baptised.  Many came to receive a fresh touch from God and the tangible presence of God could often be felt.  Numerous people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and God confirmed His Word with miracles, signs, and wonders.  Those early meetings were also marked by deep repentance and fervent prayer. 

Since that time we have continued to pastor this growing church.  Presently there are a number of new ministries that are being birthed through this pioneering community and we take great joy in each new expression of God's Kingdom. We have not been without our share of trials and tribulation, but they have served to mature us spiritually.  As a result, Holy Fire Fellowship is known as a place where God speaks and the Holy Spirit moves. - Glen Gerhauser
