We need your help!
Pastors Eugenio and Teodora have held a strong relationship with Holy Fire Missions prior to becoming an established ministry. At one point they pastored their own church in an established area, but as they broke past religious barriers coming against legalism, they started to see less congregants. They understood that a new generation had been dawning and unless Jesus is given total control to love in an unconditional way, that generation could be lost.
After much prayer and fasting they understood that God was closing doors, so they could walk into new ones. After 3 years of prayer and fasting they finally had received permission to do an outreach in an area God had pressed on their hearts called The Guazuma. They felt the Lord directing them to have us lead that event and many came to Christ, receiving salvation. Delivered and set free along with healings, signs and wonders. In a dream, the Lord revealed to them that they were to support the vision of Holy Fire Missions. Not knowing how this would even look, they simply said “we are available, send us where the spirit leads, and we will go wherever.”
The Lord was calling them to the hometown where Teodora had been raised in The Guazuma. A town filled with drugs and prostitution. A town that needed a touch from Jesus. After several visits there, and seeing the freedom that many had received, we all came together led by the Lord and seen that God was calling us to plant a community church within The Guazuma.
Today, We are happy to announce that Pastors Eugenio and Teodora are the board members leading the Spanish Branch of Holy Fire Missions in the Dominican Republic. (Ministerio Fuego Santo Internacional).
This is our current project. We are in the process of purchasing the land we have located in The Guazuma. We are truly moving by faith, and we can’t do it alone. With everyone’s help we can be the hands and feet of Jesus. Bringing hope into this town for a brighter future for all ages. This church will greatly serve this community. Will you kindly join us in this movement of making impact in The Guazuma? We thank you in advance for being led by the Father… every bit counts.

This is a vision aimed towards a community filled with teens and young adults who are ready to put in the work to make a statement for the generations coming behind them. From Acting, to Comedy, to the Creative Arts. A safe place they can learn the word of God through discipleship, while learning how their craft can be utilized to honor God and their community. With what this youth will bring, they will put this place on the map for the Glory of our Lord!

Dream it.
Since 2015 we have been visiting the nation of The Dominican Republic. We have our first church plant born in 2024 that is based out of Yamasa, D.R. We continue to provide necessities to encourage the growth of the people and also educate them as we see the need. From business ideas, to how to better serve one another. For the church body and surrounding communities.

Build it.
We have heart for the youth. Not only do we provide activities to stimulate educational growth and knowledge of our Lord Jesus but we also provide clean water, food, and essentials. Many children do not have access to fresh water and products to keep their heads clean, so we gather a team to wash, condition, and style hair to prevent future scalp issues. Weeks before we mission to The Dominican Republic we pack and ship many boxes with donated used items like shoes, clothes, toys, activities, and essentials.

If you build it, they will come!
Our Church plant in Yamasa is located about an hour away from Sabana Grande De Boya , where we plan to build a film school in the future. All of this takes time, efforts and the right hearts to join in on this vision. We were Not meant to do life alone. Let alone a vision of this stature. The vision is to provide a discipleship-based school that also teaches what faith-based acting and film looks like without compromise. A lesson we have been trained on by T.C. Stallings from the movies War Room, Vindication and No Vacancy.

Our beloved friends Israel and Kilsi who Pastor “Lirios De Los Valles Maranatha” church in Yamasa are always willing and ready to support HFM’s ideas on the grounds. This year we asked the question… “How can we in turn bless you?”.
This ministry has always been a helping hand to us. No matter the distance or how dirty it gets, along with their ministry team; they have always been about being the hands and feet of Jesus. Their own congregation has needs but yet they reject their own needs for the sake of carrying the gospel to others. I have witnessed it first hand and we are proud to call them my brothers and sisters.
In response to the questioned poised to them, they didn’t ask for anything other than what they truly need and it is a new roof for their church. We did not know but when we poised the question, they had already been in prayer and fasting as a church for a new roof. The roof they currently have will not sustain much longer. It has many damaged, rusted areas that is on the verge of giving out. As they are leading services the rain becomes a problem as it pours onto the benches where they sit and put their bibles. They have managed to work around it and not complain but we at Holy Fire Missions say it is enough! We want to bless them as the people of God. That they may continue to feed on God’s word without the distraction of possibly getting wet or their bibles destroyed. As the people of God, we deserve the best!
We have been blessed to experience what worship is like in their church and when you enter, you just know it is a place that gives reverence to God in all the details. Help us reach our goal of $2000.00 US in order to provide this church with a new roof. Together, with our faith first in Jesus, we can accomplish this!
