Bishop August S. Francis's Page

Tell Them Ministries began in 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana. At that time, Pastor August Francis was pastoring his second (2^nd) church plant, Evangel Temple. During this time, Pastor Francis was impressed of the Lord to begin a radio broadcast. When seeking the Lord for a broadcast name, he was touched by the song, of Andre' Crouch, “Tell Them”. The words, “Tell them, even if they don't believe you, tell them, even if they don't receive you. Tell them for me, please tell them for me that I love them...”. This broadcast was the beginning of Tell Them Ministries.

In 1980, Pastor Francis turned over this ministry to his assistant pastor and began an evangelistic home missions program to cities, such as Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Picayune and others. These resulted in evangelistic meetings, street crusades, tent revivals, ministry training and new plants.

Over the last thirty-seven (37) years, Tell Them Ministries has started and pastored eight (8) churches, worked with and strengthen eight (8) ministries and trained over twenty (20) ministers for the work of the Gospel. He has been involved in the Biblical work of the Apostle.

In addition, Bishop Francis has conducted many revivals, work with a major Christian Television Network and hosted several Christian radio and television programs. His desire and the vision of Tell Them is to work with the Pastors, Ministers and smaller Churches to help them to become everything that the Lord has called them to be and accomplish.

Ephesians 4:11-13 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

The reason the ministry exists is to help the Body of Christ reach full maturity. This is part of the purpose of the Tell Them Fellowship, Network and Outreach.
