A word from the Director



A warm welcome to all our Bible School students!

I am excited to share with you the vision and mission of Australia Multination For Christ College. The dream of the college is to train and equip today’s leaders for effective ministry. It is answer to the ever increasing training and leadership development needs of the church, its ministries and departments, and all local churches wishing to partner with us in this good cause. The school is committed to improving the cutting edge of the ministry by training leaders who know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it in a manner which accurately reflects the values of Forward In Faith Ministries International. Every church doing great exploits for the kingdom has a church based leadership institute.
I take great pride in letting you know that deciding to study with AMFCC will benefit you in several ways of which I will mention just a few:
· You will get a deeper understanding of the word of God and be able to apply it your daily life.
· You will grow in your Christian walk and in your relationship with God.
· You will be trained and equipped in a manner that reflects the values of FIFMI (2 Tim 2.2, Ephesians 4.11-12).
· You will be able to rightly divide the word of truth. (2 Tim 2.15, Acts 18.24-26).
· You will know what you did not fully understand about FIFMI and the secret behind the growth of one of the fastest growing churches in the world, FIFMI and you will be able to serve effectively as a tent maker.(Acts 18.1-4, 24-26, 1 Cor .4.15-17, 2 Tim 3.10).
· Your gifting will be discovered, nurtured and stirred and you will be a great blessing to your local church.(2 Tim 1.6, Phil. 2.19-24).
· Your training will result in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. (Acts 19.8-10, 118-20).

Ps Richardson Mafuriranwa

From the President & Founder



Australia Multination for Christ is a school which I started out of a desire to meet the training needs of our elders, deacons and lay people in Australia.
Every school has its own traditions, customs, its values, landmarks and sentiments which make it unique to all who study within its environment.
AMFCC is God’s school where you may prepare, and like the disciples of Jesus, proclaim the powerful message of deliverance so desperately needed in the world today. Learning at this school will make you to be the leader you were meant to be. Many people are surprised to see Forward in Faith Ministries International growing so fast, and do want to know the secret. The aim of the bible school is to reveal that secret.
The administration and all the teaching staff are committed to the privilege of assisting the students in their studies until graduation. Over 5000 students have graduated from our schools throughout the world.
It is my prayer and expectation that all those who will choose to study at our school will find blessing and enrichment in their walk with God, resulting in deeper understanding of the word of God and effective ministry in the local church in which they serve.
