FIRE International is the missionary sending arm of FIRE Church and FIRE School of Ministry (FSM) and is located in Concord, North Carolina. (See links for further information) At this time we have missionaries who are serving in full time service to their field of choice. We are also establishing bases in various countries of the world in conjunction with veteran missionaries currently on the field. These bases will be used not only for full time missionaries, but also for extended cross-cultural training for missionary interns. These bases are used as launching points for future church planting as the new missionaries and interns mature. We are continually involved in evangelism, discipleship, orphanages and feeding programs, as well as church planting.

FIRE International serves committed men and women who exalt Jesus Christ as Lord by impacting this entire generation with the fire of revival by raising up an army of radical, Spirit-baptized laborers committed to taking the gospel of Jesus to the ends of the earth - By Life Or By Death.

FIRE International is governed by a Board of Directors. (See leadership/staff for more information) They are accountable to each other and to FIRE Church as well as each member being accountable to and ordained by the local churches that send them out to do the work of the ministry.

Dr. William E. (Josh) Peters is the Vice President and General Director of FIRE International. He is also a faculty member of FSM. He has worked as a resident missionary both in Malaysia and Indonesia. For seven years, he was the Assistant Director of Globe Missionary Evangelism in Pensacola, Florida, during which time he traveled to over 20 nations of the world overseeing missionaries. He brings successful experience to the table, from both the side of the missionary and the side of management. He is responsible for placement, training and oversight of the missionaries on the field as well as the home base operations.

We strive for excellence and integrity, as we truly care about the life, the welfare, and success of our missionaries. We are thankful for the call of God on their lives and we are thankful for all who will partner with them.
