Welcome to DFM!
Who is Dove’s Fire Ministries?
DFM was founded by Jeanie Olinger in 1987. The Dove and Fire both symbolize the Holy Spirit in the scriptures. Malachi 3:2-3 and Acts 2 describe the moving of the Holy Spirit as a fire. He refines, purifies, and sets us ablaze with the Gospel message.
The gospels describe the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus as He was baptized by John. Holy Spirit affirms, directs, and leads us into truth. Jesus said in John 14, that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and our Teacher.
Whether Holy Spirit descends on us like a dove or a refiner’s fire, He is welcome here. Our prayer is that Holy Spirit will revive His work even in our generation. (Habakkuk 3:2) We believe God is still at work in us and in the earth, and we volunteer to participate by sharing and carrying the Good News to the nations.
What Does DFM Do?
It all started with a collection of poetry, one of which was titled, The Fire of the Dove, which talked about the ways God works in and amongst us. That first book of poetry was a small beginning in 1987. It was printed using an old dot matrix printer, and each sheet had to be fed and refed into the printer to use the front and back of each page. Once the poetry was printed, the books were hand-bound using a comb binder. (Don’t laugh – it worked. Plus, I still have it!)
In 2009, the James Bible Study Guide was printed and bound the same way. It was the first of many Bible study guides and devotionals. Today, DFM focuses on providing daily devotions and authoring books that inspire believers to walk closely with our God, which is all He desires. (Micah 6:8, 1 Corinthians 1:9) We believe that the Word of God is still relevant today and that it is both practical and applicable.
DFM Publications creates Bible study guides, devotionals, and more. Just a few years ago, the process of translating many of these materials into Urdu began. Today, by the grace of God, tens of thousands of copies have been translated, printed, and distributed to believers throughout Pakistan and India.
But Wait, There’s More!
DFM provides support for caregivers. Daily Devotions for Caregivers is a blog designed to encourage caregivers on their journey. It’s a safe place for caregivers to relate and be encouraged in their walk of faith while facing some of life’s toughest challenges.
