Eph. 4:11-13 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ …

The vision for Fivefold Ministries was birthed when EPH 4:11 was laid on the heart of Ps Harold Weitsz, Senior pastor at LFCC, whilst in the process of establishing and securing marriage licenses for pastors at LFCC and bringing all church plants and Training Centres under one covering.

Fivefold Ministries soon became an international movement due to its rapid growth and interest from pastors and itinerant pastors, locally and abroad, approaching Ps Harold Weitsz requesting to come under the same covering and oversight.
Ps Clive Gopaul from Kwa Zulu Natal, a close friend of Ps Harold, also approached him requesting to bring along his pastoral team and related ministries to form part of Fivefold Ministries.
Ps Harold Weitsz agreed to this and asked Ps Clive Gopaul to come on board as joint-leader and together with Ps Harold, as founder and president, Fivefold Ministries International (FFMI) was birthed.

A fellowship of Christian Leaders, seeking new direction and prophetic insight, connected to FFMI from various region as well as internationally. Regional leaders were appointed over the various regions to assist with the oversight and administration.
Due to the relationship between leaders and their churches being highly regarded and respected, the autonomy of the local church is not interfered with, except in the unfortunate event where church leadership call upon FFMI leaders to intervene in matters of discipline. In such an instance external/outside council (FFMI Leadership) would be called upon in order to reach the appropriate judgement over the presiding matter.

In the event of any of the related ministries falling into erroneous or false teaching or bringing into disrepute Fivefold Ministries International (FFMI) they would be approached to either receive corrective counsel to change or resign from FFMI.
We have always strived to keep and maintain an organisation of integrity.

FFMI has proven over the years to be a very beneficial and supportive fellowship with both Ps Harold and Ps Clive visiting the regions bi-annually encouraging and uplifting pastors and church leaders.
Annually there are at least three regional gatherings per year with the regional leaders, where ministry and encouragement is offered to help men and women of God fulfil their calling.

FFMI strives to create and maintain a local and international family of churches and ministries based on the notion of relationship and fellowship for ministers of the Five Fold Ministry as given in Ephesians 4:11-13.
