About Us
Our Christ-centered, Spirit-filled evangelists and staff are a Fellowship devoted to walking with Christ in mission and righteous living. We are committed to the body of Christ; the Church, and we seek to be a catalyst for revival, evangelism, and training of believers throughout the world.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:20
Preach Christ; Edify His Church; Glorify God
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants on account of Jesus. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:5
Revival in the Church; Evangelism through the Church and training for the Church…Worldwide.
And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. ~ Ephesians 4:11-13
Emerging Evangelists
We are a fellowship of gifted and called Evangelist/preacher-teachers. We believe God has always raised up such men to do this work. Within our ministry structure, we have a designed status for emerging Evangelists, called the “Evangelist in Training.” Sam Pirrotta joined AFCI-USA under this status – and eventually became one of our full-time AFCI Ministers. This is a little about the EIT and how it unfolded with his relationship with Dan Rudman.
What We Believe
AFCI-USA Statement of Faith
We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments, as verbally inspired by God, inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and deed.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
We believe in “that blessed hope,” the personal imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the rapture of the church.
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, in the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
Amazing Stories
Much like we see in the book of Acts, our AFCI men have been in many remarkable opportunities and unfolding stories. Here is brief collection of some amazing moments where God’s hand was clearly present with our men.
Our Methodology
AFCI-USA Methodology
Recognizing that the supreme task of the church is the evangelization of the world and the discipling of all peoples, we dedicate ourselves to assist the church in this task by preaching and teaching in many capacities such as evangelistic campaigns, seminars, conferences, training institutes, and by other methods approved by AFCI-USA.
AFCI-USA evangelists, preachers and teachers minister in conjunction with local churches, thus reviving and stimulating the life and growth of the church as God’s chosen agent for evangelism and growth.
All AFCI-USA staff must be members in good standing in their own church.
AFCI-USA’s policy is to identify spiritually gifted ministers and, where necessary, to recruit and encourage training them in order to establish a growing and stable ministry in accordance with the aims and policies of AFCI-USA.
AFCI-USA acknowledges its total dependence upon the Lord of the harvest. Opportunities for investment in the work are communicated to churches, prayer partners, foundations, and the Christian community through appropriate methods. We each look to the Lord to supply our individual ministry needs as we carry out His work through the giving and partnership of His people. AFCI- USA does not have a central fund or corporate funding of ministers within its structure.
AFCI-USA maintains openness to new, relevant, and creative methods of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Distinctiveness
Click on a distinctive below to learn more about who we are
We are committed to the historic Biblical Christian faith. In the many diverse cultures and societies in which we minister we are ever aware of the many changing influences and ideologies that seek to supplant God’s revealed Truth. God’s Word is our absolute authority. We affirm the reality and calling that biblical truth rightly preached is God’s means to save and sanctify souls (2 Corinthians 4:1-6; 1 Timothy 1:3-11).
We believe every evangelist has a personal and unique calling. As has been stated before, “God only makes originals.” AFCI-USA embraces the individual minister’s uniqueness by providing great freedom and latitude for the minister to follow hard after his own vision and calling as it falls under our broader Mission and Vision.
Many evangelistic-mission ministries are rightly designed with hierarchical structures of leadership. These ministries often operate as “teams” with defined objectives in implementing a type of tool or program. AFCI-USA operates somewhat differently. While we have organizational structure and leadership, the emphasis of this ministry is a “Fellowship” of individual ministries. While a particular evangelist may utilize some tool or a program, and a few of the ministers may even come together for a particular ministry – the AFCI-USA’s ministry emphasis is focused on the preacher! Even our leadership structure represents this as every four years the ministers of the Fellowship choose “one amongst equals” to lead them as the National Director. The ministry is led by the ministers. AFCI-USA is a “Fellowship” of like-minded men covenanting together under the mission, vision, accountability, and banner of AFCI-USA.
