We believe that there is a deep connection between the nations of the Pacific Islands and the nations along the Ring of Fire. There is something more than the ocean that connects them; something deep within the heart of God. God is wanting to light the fire of His love for the people of the Pacific Islands in the hearts of all who call the Ring of Fire home. When people from all across this region join together and says yes to God’s will for the islands, we believe we will see revival come across the Pacific unlike anything we have ever seen before.
Training Phase (3 months)
We overcome isolation through a burning devotion to unity
The Ring of Fire is a mobile DTS that will travel to multiple nations over the course of the lecture phase. At each location there will be time to learn from the local people about their culture and the history of their land. We will also do a one-week local outreach. We believe it is always important to give back to the land we are living on and the people that have welcomed us to their home!

Outreach Phase (3 months)
We believe that isolation will not have the final word in the story of the people of the Pacific.
There is no place on earth quite like the islands of the Pacific - full of beauty that is only rivaled by the beauty of its people. Nothing excites us quite like the opportunity to travel to the farthest reaches of the earth to serve some of the most incredible people that can be found.

Generally, outreach locations are announced in the first or second week of lecture phase. In the past, our teams have frequented locations such as Papua New Guinea, Micronesia and the Pacific, Panama, Haiti and the Caribbean, and Cambodia.
