Born and raised in New Zealand, Jeff Beacham founded Firepower Ministries International in Australia at Sydney Christian Life Centre (now Hillsong Church) in 1989. Jeff moved his ministry base to the USA in 1999. FMI is an evangelistic ministry committed to extending the influence of the local church by strengthening pastors, leaders and God’s people. In addition to an extensive itinerant ministry, Jeff served on the apostolic council of Christ Covenant Coalition, a network of key ministries in New York City; as an active member of the Global Network of Christian Ministries and the International Coalition of Apostolic Leaders (ICA); and as an elder at The Church of Grace & Peace in Toms River, New Jersey. Jeff is also the founder of GenNet, a ministry to mentor and equip upcoming generations to carry the vision of reawakening in the Northeast of America and beyond. Making Jesus more famous everywhere was his passion. Jeff and his wife, Melva, founder of Melva Lea Ministries, made their home in Toms River.
