Ministers Fellowship International (MFI) Ministers Fellowship International (MFI) Every fellowship of ministers is distinct because of a common heritage, spiritual belief system or focus. Even as the Children of Israel in biblical times were all one people of God and yet had distinct tribes, so it is with the Body of Christ today. From God's perspective, there is only one Church. It includes all believers living and dead all over the world who have distinguished themselves by their separation unto the covenants of God through faith. However, within the family of God there are smaller groupings of people and leaders that God has brought together based on a common vision ... When someone joins MFI, they join a spiritual family with a DNA code that is vital to its ability to fulfill the express purposes of the Fellowship. Davidic Praise and Worship.
