ABOUT / WHO WE ARE

Finish Line Ministries International (FLMI) is a missions agency that exists for the purpose of Training Pastors, Equipping The Church, Providing For Orphans, and Reaching The Lost in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.  By design, we work exclusively with nationals to fulfill our mission and make the proclamation of the Gospel the centerpiece of each and every ministry endeavor. 
 
Founded in 1992, FLMI has had the privilege of seeing thousands of lives changed over the course of the past 20+ years of ministry.  Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, FLMI ministers to more than 100,000 people each year throughout the United States and southeast Africa.  

 


USA


FLMI partners with churches, youth ministries, camps, conferences, colleges, and schools to present the truth of God's Word in a way that is powerful, practical and relevant.  Often utilized as the guest speaker for special events, FLMI offers a unique communication style and has a proven track record of service and effectiveness.  Over the years, the Lord has blessed FLMI's preaching and outreach efforts as thousands of people throughout the United States have made life-changing commitments to Jesus Christ.

 


Africa


In 2000, the Lord opened the door for FLMI to partner with a Malawian pastor by the name of Love Kaphesi for the purpose of training pastors and planting churches in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.  From 1986 to 1999, Love planted 66 churches on his own and had a combined congregation of more than 10,000 people. Though his churches were growing, he recognized the need for better training among his pastors. He turned to FLMI and asked for help. From this initial request, the framework for our ministry together was formed. 

 

Over the years, churches and friends of FLMI have prayed for and financially supported our work in Africa.  Annually, teams from the USA have traveled to Malawi to train pastors and preach the Gospel.   Thousands of people have come to know Christ, new churches have been planted, and Christians have grown in their faith.  In addition, pastors have been trained and orphans have been cared for and educated. 

 

Today, there are more than 85,000 people attending 268 FLMI churches throughout Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.  In addition, our Pastors Bible School trains pastors and our Orphanage & Day School Ministry cares for and educates more than 360 children each year.  To God be the glory!
