Advisors and Counselors

FMI has a number of apostolic advisors/counselors from whom we seek counsel, wisdom, and advice. These are men of prayer and deep humility, walking in integrity with deeply discerning hearts.

Mel Tari – of World Mission International, for nearly forty years has traveled the world preaching the Gospel in literally every nation and is a key-note speaker at major conventions and conferences all over the world. Mel Tari gave his life to Jesus Christ when a revival swept his home country of Timor, Indonesia. The fire has never stopped, and Mel Tari has been an eye-witness to some of the greatest miracles that have occurred in the twentieth century! As countless people have come to know Jesus, Mel has also seen people raised from the dead, water turned to wine, and many extraordinary healings (including deafness, blindness, dumbness, leprosy, cancer, etc.). Mel is a man with huge vision and revelation of how to live in the Kingdom of God, and we are honored to have him as a friend and advisor for FMI.
