Karen Savage

Karen Savage humbly and graciously serves through Fresh Fire Apostolic Ministries as a leader and a recognized Minister of the Gospel. Karen was born in Ottawa, Ontario – in a very small town called Stittsville. . Karen began to attend the Fresh Fire’s Healing and Deliverance Encounters in Milton, Ontario where through the powerful teachings, Karen began her call and she was bringing groups of friends, saved and unsaved, to witness and see the power of God and all He could do in their lives. 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. Just like an Evangelist! Karen began to receive powerful truths and began to understand the true nature of God and healing power within her because of Christ Jesus. She hungered for more and as she hungered for more, she began to minister to many and bring them the Good News of Christ. She serves at Fresh Fire Apostolic Ministries as a leader and a prayer intercessor. Karen also serves as a Board of Director and is diligently involved in many aspects of the ministry and Apostolic Hub, and most recently commissioned into the Office of an Evangelist in 2022.

Ana Sousa

Ana Sousa has a strong heart for the Lord and an insatiable desire to see the captives set free. The Lord showed Himself powerfully many years ago and demonstrated that He is still in the healing business.  Ana wanted to know and learn more and this led Ana to accept Christ as her Lord and Savor and that’s when her profound journey began!

Ana is a powerful woman of prayer and truly called to the prayer mountain.  She powerfully intercedes on behalf of the saints and is part of the Fresh Fire Prayer and Intercession Team and has witnessed countless lives transformed, healed and delivered through resurrection power and prayer.  Ana is also a prominent member of the ministry’s Board of Directors, and most recently commissioned as a Deaconess in 2023 at Fresh Fire.
