About us

Foundation Ministries International is a community of church leaders and Churches across the continent who champion each other based on respectful relationships and a commitment to a high value for the Spirit and the Word, while pursuing Kingdom building values.

FMI was founded in 1981 by Derek Crumpton in response to the wave of Renewal which saw many churches embracing a new wineskin. Foundation Ministries International now partners with leaders in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Kenya.

Rob Wardle leads the Apostolic Team which gives leadership support through congregational input, national conferences, leadership training and development, and missions trips both

locally and international.
