Is this a fad... or is it a genuine move of God? Fred Raynaud believes it is a genuine move of God. After the loss of his son, Fred Raynaud sought the Lord for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and started sharing his faith with his co-workers. Suddenly, Fred found himself surrounded with folks desiring prayer, he stated, “Many of our members here in Tampa, are hispanic..., and my Spanish isn’t that great. They would come to me at work asking for prayer. So there we stood, in the storeroom, 20 of us deep, all hand in hand.... As I prayed, I knew that there was a language barrier, but then I saw it. The Holy Spirit descended upon these saints of the Most High, and the tears began to flow. What I discovered was, in-spite of myself, Jesus was there, powerfully. It’s all about Jesus!”

What started out as a small revival in his kitchen, with more than 28 people coming to the Lord, has blossomed into an organization that stretches across the globe. The International Association of Cooks for Christ (IACFC), an international membership of cooks, chefs, and hospitality workers stretches from Florida to India, Spain to Australia, and across the USA.

Fred Raynaud, in his new book, “Reflections from the Kitchen, cooking with Holy Fire,” pours out his heart about faith and life, touching on everything from revival to the gospel revealed in the recipe for Hollandaise sauce.

"Reflections" is not a cookbook. There are no recipes between its pages. What you will find is a look at Christ and His glory through the lens of the kitchen. The book takes you on a journey behind the scenes of the kitchen and reflects Christ in the day-to-day activities of working and worshiping within the "Marketplace." It is a buffet table full of little morsels - chapters to cause you to ponder upon the richness of all that Christ is, as seen through the eyes of a Chef.

“I am convinced that painted across the canvas of every occupation, task, and job, you will see the reflection of Jesus sprinkled throughout. No matter what we do or how big, or small it seems - Jesus is waiting to reveal Himself to us - all we have to do is open the eyes of our hearts and the ears of our understanding, and listen to the whisper of the Holy Spirit as He points to the reflection of Jesus within our craft.” - Fred Raynaud
