Mario Murillo

Evangelist & Founder of Mario Murillo Ministries

Everything about Mario Murillo defies the odds. He is a native of San Francisco, a city not known for producing international evangelists. His ministry was born in the drug-obsessed, occult saturated 70s, in the epicenter of violent student revolution – Berkeley, California. His gift seemed doomed to fail on an atheistic campus. Mix in persuasive Gospel messages with the raw healing power of Jesus. The unexpected result was a vibrant army of 2,000 students.

Mario impacted San Francisco in 1986, with the largest Christian gathering in a decade. He returned there in 1989, to preach for 30 days at the world-famous Cow Palace as 5,000 people flooded the altar. Also in 1991, Mario preached in Los Angeles to a packed-out Shrine Auditorium. In a historical two-day crusade, he watched 1500 gang members give their lives to Christ. In 1999, after six months of IMPACT to the city of San Francisco, Mario returned to the Cow Palace for five nights of power where thousands received Christ.

Mario annually conducts approximately 50 outreaches which are noted for the presence of God and exuberant worship. His preaching pierces the heart and unravels modern evil. His IMPACT meetings are designed to be a PowerPoint to draw people together in unity for the purpose of prayer, worship, and winning souls. With careful, strategic preparation in unity under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, cities can experience a fresh fire of revival like never before.
Mario has authored several best-selling books such as Critical Mass, Fresh Fire, Fresh Impact, I Am Christian the Devil Warned You About, and his most recent release Edgewise.

Worship Leaders & Musicians

Chris & Summer Shealy have traveled with and lead worship for Catch the Fire as well as collaborated with The Upper room projects and Maverick City Music. 

"WORSHIP IS BREATHING. Worship is living a life in communion with God every minute of every day. We were created for intimacy with the Father, just to Be with him. We are surrounded by a culture that is driven by productivity, but we want to raise up a generation of worshippers who desire more than anything else to just BE with Jesus. It’s out of this place of being that everything else flows.  If that’s YOU please come join us as we worship both in our home in the most intimate setting and on the road at larger events. No matter the setting we can all pour out our worship to Jesus. "
