OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GENERAL OVERSEER
Memo Regarding Ministerial Integrity and Accountability
The leadership of Fresh Anointing Ministries International (FAMI) has worked diligently to establish and maintain a reputation of integrity, honesty, accountability, and godly character, both locally and nationally. We firmly believe that our reputation as ministers of the Gospel should reflect the very Christ we have been called to represent.
Recently, it has been brought to our attention through multiple sources that certain statements and concerns have arisen that could potentially affect the reputation and integrity of our General Overseer and the leadership of this fellowship. While we will not engage in public accusations, speculation, or unnecessary controversy, we take these concerns seriously and believe they deserve appropriate attention.
FAMI was never established for popularity, personal recognition, financial gain, or ministerial titles. This fellowship was birthed out of a sincere burden to provide opportunities for ministers to be encouraged, spiritually equipped, mentored, and empowered through the Holy Ghost. Our desire has always been to extend a helping hand to those whom others may have overlooked, rejected, or refused to give an opportunity to serve in ministry.
However, extending grace and opportunity does not mean compromising biblical standards, ministerial accountability, or personal integrity.
OUR POSITION ON FUNDRAISING AND FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP
We also want to make our position abundantly clear regarding financial responsibility within the local church and ministry.
Fresh Anointing Ministries International does not endorse or condone habitual fundraising, repeated public appeals for money, or soliciting financial assistance through social media as a substitute for responsible financial stewardship, particularly for routine church operating expenses or personal financial obligations.
We recognize that legitimate emergencies, special ministry projects, and genuine needs may occasionally require financial assistance. However, we believe that the regular financial responsibilities of a local church should primarily be supported through faithful tithes, offerings, responsible budgeting, and sound biblical stewardship.
Scripture reminds us:
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)
Any fundraising activities, financial solicitations, or requests for assistance conducted by individual ministers or affiliated churches are the responsibility of those respective individuals and ministries.
Such activities must not be represented as being sponsored, approved, endorsed, or financially guaranteed by Fresh Anointing Ministries International, Bishop Christopher M. Massey II, or Pastor Cody Rowland unless express authorization has been given by FAMI leadership. We believe that ministry should be built upon prayer, faithfulness, integrity, accountability, and obedience to God’s Word—not upon continual financial pressure placed upon the public.
OUR COMMITMENT MOVING FORWARD
We remain committed to the original vision of FAMI: raising up, equipping, encouraging, and strengthening men and women who have been genuinely called by God to fulfill the work of the ministry. But we also understand that a ministerial fellowship is only as strong as the biblical convictions, character, and accountability of those who represent it.
We will not compromise our convictions to maintain numbers, affiliations, or relationships. Our desire is not simply to grow a larger fellowship, but to build a stronger, healthier, and spiritually accountable fellowship that honors Jesus Christ.
We ask every minister and affiliated church to prayerfully examine their commitment to these principles as we move forward.
Our calling is too important, our testimony is too valuable, and the Kingdom of God is too precious to allow anything to compromise the integrity of this fellowship. We appreciate your understanding, prayers, and cooperation during this season of evaluation and strengthening.
In His Service,
Bishop Christopher M. Massey II
Founder & General Overseer
Fresh Anointing Ministries International (FAMI)
Pastor Cody Rowland
Assistant General Overseer
FAMI Leadership
“Providing Spiritual Covering, Ministerial Accountability, and Opportunities for Kingdom Advancement.”
