Nicki’s Bio
____________
Nicki Pfeifer is an ordained prophet and pastor, who along with her husband, Mark Pfeifer, founded Open Door Ministries (Chillicothe, Ohio) in 1991; where they continue to serve as the senior pastors. Nicki is also the founder and lead prophet of the Fire School of Prophetic Training, which has now spread to locations throughout the United States, Asia and Africa. The curriculum for this training was developed by Nicki and has been accredited through the Wagner Leadership Institute (C. Peter Wagner).
Her unique experience with both prophetic and pastoral ministry is reflected in the course material which teaches that prophetic ministry can and should be done within the framework of, and in submission to pastoral authority. She is the Vice President of the Soma, an apostolic network of ministries, a member of the International Coalition of Apostles (John Kelly, Chuck Pierce & C. Peter Wagner) and is the Ohio State Coordinator with her husband for the United States Apostolic Alliance(Dutch Sheets).
Nicki is also a highly regarded conference speaker, who maintains a full cal
endar of national and international speaking engagements throughout the year. Because of her unique blend of passion, profound gifting and powerful personal testimony, her ministry is equally effective at prophetic conferences, women’s conferences, healing conferences and evangelistic outreaches. She possesses a rare ability to relate to people where they’re at and then help them to move to a place of transformation.
Her annual “Brave Women’s Conference” has become a highly anticipated event for women throughout the Midwest region. On the horizon is the launch of yet another branch of ministry called, “Project Empower”, which will allow women in impoverished areas (e.g. Nairobi, Kenya) to start their own cottage industries or businesses, as a way of empowering them to find their value, purpose and provision for their families. Nicki resides in Chillicothe, Ohio with Mark and her three children, Andrew, Alexandra, and Austin.
