a letter of welcome
Redemption Ministerial Fellowship International (RMFI) is an Apostolic Network of ministers, churches, and ministries that was born out of the 17,000 member Redemption in Greenville, South Carolina. Pastor Ron Carpenter founded RMFI with a vision to provide a spiritual covering for ministers and ministries which can develop, equip, resource, and empower men and women of God who operate in five-fold ministries, and many other leadership roles.
Pastor’s heart is for ministers and their families to be all God created them to be, so that they can do all that God called them to do, fulfilling their destiny! Pastor’s goal for RMFI is that it be a relational fellowship which provides opportunities for personal and leadership development through impartation, resourcing, mentoring, accountability, and restoration.
We welcome you to find out more about our fellowship.
