On May 5, 2004, Tim was instructed by the Lord to read Exodus 3:1-10. Here God proclaimed to him that the ministry he is being called to Pastor would be called “Flame of Fire Ministries”.

During these past 8 years of existence, God has been Faithful to His Word. He has added, opened doors, shown favor, and blessed us tremendously. Each Word preached, taught, prophesied, and declared has thus far come to pass. We are in great expectations and being confident of this very thing, that He, which hath begun a good work in you, will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ. He is no respecter of persons and for that, we glorify Him and give Him all the praise, glory, and honor.
