1990-The beginning.
In January 1990 Archbishop William J Foley (the late Archbishop of Perth) gave his blessing to conduct a biblical seminar called Set My People On Fire which was based upon a prophecy received during prayer on Christmas Eve 1989. This prophecy was to later form the vision and mandate for Flame Ministries International.
Flame Ministries International was founded later in 1990.
Later in 1990 The Lord showed Mr. Eddie Russell his vision called “Flame” Ministries. This vision was formulated and accepted by the authors of “Set My People On Fire” and Archbishop Foley who gave his blessing for Flame Ministries to function in the Archdiocese of Perth. The late Mr Eddie Russell was thus the founding Senior Director of Flame Ministries.
