Our Basic Purpose and Objectives

  1. BRINGING THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE WORLD and enhancing the spreading of the Gospel.
  2. RESTORING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST that which the enemy has stolen.
  3. HELPING INDIVIDUALS to function in the calling, talents and gifts God has given them by on-the-job training, and opening doors for them to minister to the nations.
  4. SETTING WOMEN FREE FROM THE BONDAGE AND TRADITIONS that have held them captive by ministering to the entire family. Although World-Wide FLAME is basically a minstry to women, men form an important part of the ministry.

  6. ESTABLISHING A WORLD-WIDE PRAYER MINISTRY to unite the world in specific prayers for each nation.
