“Our three main goals- evangelise, equip, and encourage- are centered around growth, spiritual and personal. We want people to grow in their faith and to learn who they are in Christ so that they can live the life that He desires for them and walk in the victory that He died to give them.” ~ Rachel

“We know and believe that the plan of God for each person is to live a redeemed, victorious life. We want to not only spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but also His mission- that He came so that we can have and enjoy life in abundance and to the full. We will teach, preach, pray, and go wherever He leads us to fulfill the will of God for our lives and for our ministry . ” ~ Stephen

2010:

After 8 years in part-time ministry, Stephen and Rachel, along with their 3 children, launched into full time missions. Creating a ministry base in Cairns, Queensland, Australia, the Macri family spent 13 years ministering in homeless shelters, nursing homes, hospitals, remote Indigenous communities throughout Far North Queensland. In addition to that they were able to hold over 100 outreaches in towns and cities throughout Australia as well as men’s camps, and youth camps. Stephen and Rachel have taught classes on more than 20 subjects in multi-week Bible Study series.

Besides Australia, the Macri’s have spent time in a number of other nations with the missional purpose of teaching the Bible, helping the sick to receive healing in their bodies, and holding evangelism outreaches as well as providing natural aid of medical supplies, clothing, food and assistance to rebuild following natural disasters. These nations include: Vanuatu, the Cook Islands, the Western & American Samoas, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Ireland.

2025:

In 2023 Stephen and Rachel moved the FHMI base of operation to Brisbane, Australia which allows greater ease of travel both domestically within Australia and internationally. Since that time, FHMI has expanded it’s mission’s work to include new countries such as Paraguay, England and Wales. Domestically, we are expanding our Fire Up Men’s Ministry work with a vision to have a men’s conference in every state and territory of Australia. Stephen and Rachel are available for bookings and continue to itinerate and minister in churches throughout Australia and the world.
