My wife, Bron, and I worked for many years for Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, organizing huge meetings. I began writing newsletters from remote corners of the globe. People were encouraging. My first book was Holy Fire, published by Kingsway, UK, in 1996.
We founded JF Ministries in 2003 to preach the gospel and teach healing around the world. By God’s grace, we’ve seen thousands healed in our Schools of Healing. We worked in Rwanda after the genocide, and for thirteen years we took teams to Nepal, where the church is growing fast.
Formerly farmers in Wiltshire, we moved to Auckland, New Zealand, in 2005. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, we moved back to England in June, 2024, to be ready for the next move of God! We have no children, but love houses, gardening and wildlife.
Our most important task is to tell people about Jesus. All my books, including fiction, include the gospel message. (After all, Jesus was the best storyteller!) I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of my books. johnf@jfm.org.nz.
I became a Christian by reading the Bible. My brother gave me a copy of Dear and Glorious Physician by Taylor Caldwell one Christmas. I was fascinated by the historical novel about Doctor Luke. The book ends saying, “This story is continued in the Gospel of Luke.” I picked up an old King James. Half way through the Gospel I was deeply struck that this was truth, not fiction. Jesus is who he claimed to be. I grew like a plant in winter, but God was gracious, and I still love him!
