To restore the foundations of society through the love, teaching, and healing power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To set the World on Fire for Christ!
On December 6, 2016, God woke Pastor J.L. Alston with the vision for World on Fire Global Ministries. Just a few weeks later, on December 25, a trusted messenger of the Lord confirmed from the pulpit that they had been chosen to bring forth a ministry. At the same time, God spoke clearly that they were to move to Memphis, and in obedience, they moved swiftly to establish the work.
On July 22, 2018, World on Fire Global Ministries held its very first service in a hair salon with just four members. In that season, God began to reveal the purpose of the ministry through undeniable evidence of His power in healing and deliverance, fulfilling the Word: “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17–18).
God allowed WOFGM to grow and flourish throughout its season in Memphis. Then, in 2025, the Lord gave the command to expand to the Dallas–Fort Worth area. In obedience, the ministry answered the call, giving birth to WOFGM–Texas.
