Many were led unto salvation there as her heart’s cry was to bring the lost to be found; to bring the hurting and broken so they could be transformed and awakened just like she was; and, to bring the sick to be healed.

Allen Baker

Allen Baker is a walking testimony to the redeeming power of God’s love. Born in 1948 in London, Ontario, Canada. Allen led a hard life that eventually saw him behind bars in Mill Haven Prison Institution serving a life sentence. Now this was not the first time Allen had been incarcerated, however, when the cell doors were locked and closed behind him this particular time, Allen thought it would be the last time he would ever taste freedom again.
However, more than the ache he felt for the loss of those freedoms, was the tearing at his heart of what he had become and what had led him to this place he felt he would call home for the rest of his life. Like many of our nations incarcerated, prison was not shedding light on the redeemable qualities in Allen. Being locked in a cell twenty-three hours a day was only heightening the ugliness that had taken control of his heart, and like a ticking time bomb all Allen wanted to do was lash out at a society that now held
him prisoner. But, God Almighty had other plans for this outcast from society!
Today, Allen is an ordained Elder and commissioned Evangelist at Fresh Fire. He is not only focused on salvation, but transformation. Allen’s heart has always been focused on the discipleship of individuals and leading them into a rich and meaningful relationship with God the Father, equipping them with the tools to become pillars in their homes, their churches and the nations.
When Evangelist Allen is not out traveling, you will find him on the streets of Hamilton and Simcoe, Ontario; ministering to men, and sharing a cup of coffee with someone in need. Just a few minutes with Allen and you will realize you are sitting with a man transformed by the power and incredible love of Jesus Christ.

Allen has been married to his wife Sandra since 1987, and together they have raised their three children and have an abundance of grandchildren, while ministering locally and throughout Canada. Allen and Sandra reside in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Isaiah 61:1 “… he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”

Sandra Baker

Sandra Baker is a wife of 30 years to Evangelist Allen Baker, is the mother of three beautiful children: two boys and one girl, an has many beautiful grandchildren! One evening in March of 2006, Sandra was attending a church service where she was in the realm of worship when she noticed two small diamonds missing from my wedding bands. Of course, Sandra began to weep because her wedding bands are a reminder to her of how important her marriage is. GOD began to speak to Sandra right there in that service and HE told her that, “the devil can take all your worldly processions, but the one thing he cannot take is your family”. She asked the Lord…“why”, and He said, “Because I have them in the Palm of My Hand”.
Isaiah 49:16 says, “See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.”
Isaiah 41:13 says, “For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.”
It was in that service that God was clearly preparing Sandra for what was to come next. A life fully trusting in the Lord through many trials, but also being victorious through them all through the power of God.

Sandra has ministered locally and throughout Canada with her husband, Evangelist Allen, and has served in various leadership capacities, children’s ministry, bus ministry, and also served as head of hospitalities in the local churches. Today, Sandra is an outstanding dedicated leader, ordained Deaconess and power prayer warrior at Fresh Fire Apostolic Ministries.
Sandra has an incredible passion and desire to go deeper into the Word of God, allowing God to use her mightily, and fulfil her destiny and calling on her life. Sandra’s heart is to see families set free; as her family was, and to see people come into the Kingdom of God, see them healed and delivered in every area of their lives through the demonstration of God’s great and glorious power bestowed in her by the Spirit of God!
Sandra also travels closely with Apostle Sandra Benaglia as an armor bearer and confidant around the world and is capturing the nations with love of God and setting the captives free. Sandra serves with the heart of the Father and is a beautiful loving powerful woman of God.

Jessica Awad

Jessica Awad always grew up having a love for Jesus. Knowing much about Him, but truly wasn’t walking with Him until after her high school years. She was broken, in pain, and dying from the inside out. When she was at the end of herself, that’s when Jesus met Jessica. Then began a true transformation journey with the Holy Spirit. The heart of the Heavenly Father gripped her heart and changed the trajectory of her life forever. Little did she know that making her move from the big city to a small town, would initiate Jessica’s deep sense of gratitude & honor to have cross paths and walk alongside Fresh Fire Apostolic Ministries (FFAM). She’s become like a budded flower walking in who God’s created her to be, a mighty warrior woman for His Glory! Jessica has a strong heart for the global Church to walk in God’s standards for righteousness, truth, and purity. She continues to go deeper with understanding the truth of His Word, intercession, and keeping attuned to the heart of the Father. Jessica serves at Fresh Fire in administration, audio and visual technology, community outreach and deliverance ministry.
