Messengers of Fire Ministries

Ted Dones, founder and president of Messengers of Fire Ministries, was called to ministry at the age of twenty-two. In 1995, he was touched by the Fire of God in Joplin, Missouri. As a sold-out servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, he has been taking the Gospel across denominational boundaries worldwide and awakening and igniting the body of Christ.

Ted was called out of a life of drugs, gambling, and abuse. Listening to and obeying authority was unfamiliar to him. After several years of Bible study and washing by the Word of God, Ted is now able to hear the heavenly Father’s voice revealing the shape the church is in and what is to come. Time is short and quick response is crucial.

The anointings and gifts that are upon Ted’s life and ministry are life-changing. As Ted teaches the Word in his own unique way, many are set free and healed. Salvation, signs, wonders, and miracles are evident in his meetings as he teaches the truths of God’s Word.

Ted's heart is focused on the saving of souls and for “blind eyes” to be opened. The prophetic calling on his life urges him to “sound the alarm” and “blow the trumpet.”


Ted's wife and best friend Janet is an essential part of Messengers of Fire Ministries. With her many hours of dedicated intercession and discernment, the Lord has used her in many ways to affect the ministry and people's lives. The Lord has anointed her in a unique way, giving her great compassion for the lost and hurting. In her humbleness to serve others, tears of compassion fall as people are healed and set free from demonic strongholds. A very bold and authoritative prophetic gifting is upon her life.

Janet grew up in a Christian home in Louisville, Kentucky. She was tormented and held in captivity by fear most of her life. The Lord delivered her from that and now her heart's desire is to be used by the Lord to deliver others who suffer such torment.

Ted and Janet now reside in the beautiful Louisville, Ky
