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.
John Crumpton leads the Apostolic Team which gives leadership support through congregational input, national conferences, leadership training and development, and missions trips both
locally and international.

The Gathering (Young Adults)
01 - 04 May 2025
“THE ONE WHO WAS, THE ONE WHO IS, THE ONE WHO IS TO COME…” God is rebuilding the “ancient ruins” (Isaiah 61) of His church. As we honor the foundations of the past, we must run into our future as the sons and heirs of the promises of God, until “righteousness blazes down like the sun and salvation flames up like a torch” (Isaiah62) True encounter demands a response. What will your response be?
