Rev. Fred Machini
Treasurer
My name is Rev. Fred Machini kitui, founder of Revival Fire Ministry. l'm a graduate from Eldoret Bible College with a BA degree in Bible theology and MA degree in Christian Leadership.
While at the college, I received Godly counsel through the college president, Dr. John Polis. On completion of my BA, I received a call from the Lord to start a ministry. The denomination in which I was did not have a provision for covering another ministry other than that of the denomination. After prayer, I requested Dr. John if he could offer cover to my ministry. It was joy to me as he accepted and prayed for me. On June 2nd, 2013, my ministry, the Revival Fire Ministry, started at the slopes of my Elgon in Transnzoia county, Kenya. The fire has continued, many people getting saved, growing to maturity and are bing sent out.
So far God has blessed us with 6 churches, 12 pastors raised in this ministry, teachers of the word, evangelists, all to the glory of God. The teachings by my spiritual father Dr. John Polis through conferences, CDs and online have imparted to my life and ministry. I thank God for the good choice I made to have my ministry affiliated to Revival Fellowship International of Dr. John. With minimum supervision but much accounterbility before God, God's great work is being done. I give glory to God and encourage any minister who has a call to serve God and needs cover to consider joining Revival Fellowship International of Dr John Polis. May God order your steps.

Tim & Rose Bolyard
Missionaries
Rose and I have been traveling to Africa since 1998 representing Revival Fellowship International. We have served in multiple capacities over the years such as teaching in the Bible College, leadership conferences, men’s and women’s conferences and marriage retreats. We lived in Kenya for four years as a Barnabas Ministry/ Ministry of Encouragement / Brother and Sister of Encouragement to the RfI Kenya affiliates. We arrived there in October of 2008 not long after the2007 clashes that put many of our affiliates through traumatic experiences. For the four years we lived there we made multiple trips to the homes of all of our affiliates to be there to encourage them and be boots on ground of love. We rally had to press the real reason we were there was to first of all to be a personal touch to the affiliates. After one round of visits, we gained a reputation that when we came to villages and towns in Kenya it was not to hold a crusade or leadership conference but to touch their lives personally with a hug and to spend personal time with them and their families as well had they ministry family. We continue to reach out to our Revival Fellowship International Kenya affiliates as often as technology allows.
