Meet Pastor Charles Morris
Although RSIM Germany, RSIM Africa, and RSIM USA were established by Pastor Charles under the leadership of the Lord to basically raise up leaders according to the Ephesians 4:11-16 model, he believes that the ultimate end of ministry is to give it away to faithful men. RSIM Germany was given to Pastor Hansjoerg Nymphius in 2009. RSIM Africa was given to Pastor Dedan Muhemba in 2013.
The role of true Biblical Leadership is not to see how big of a ministry one can obtain, but to locate, train, and release leaders to take over the ministry in their areas of influence. What purpose is it to train and raise up spiritual leaders if they are not allowed to lead?
It has always been my goal in life to "Give my life away for Christ," and to "Give my ministry away to others," who have been found faithful.

Pastor Charles & Debby Morris
Pastor Charles was raised in a non Christian home and had a lifestyle which included alcohol and drug addiction. In 1972, at the age of 18 he joined the USAF. On Sept, 4 1974 Charles gave his life over to the Lord Jesus Christ in a dramatic salvation experience. The Holy Spirit invaded his room at 01:00 in the morning and convicted him of the fact that he was lost and without God. He fell to his knees by his bedside and called upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to take his life and save him.

His life was radically saved and radically changed that night. Addictions to alcohol, drugs and tobacco ended that very night. The next morning many of Charles’ friends came into his room to purchase drugs only to find him preaching the Gospel message. Two of his drug-friends were saved that first morning. This started a life of Preaching, Evangelism, Pastoring, Church Planting, and the Ephesians 4:11-16 ministry. Pastor Charles went to an Assembly of God Church that first Sunday in Sept. 1974 as a new believer and was gloriously and supernaturally baptized by our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.
In 1974, Pastor Charles started out ministering while in Germany in the Assembly of God Denomination. In 1975 he met Debby Wagner while on a military duty assignment in Zaragoza, Spain with the Air Force and they were married July 1976. In 1977 Charles and Debby Morris returned to the States to Las Vegas, Nevada while still serving on active duty with the Air Force and ministering the Word of God wherever and whenever possible. Charles started two churches while stationed in Las Vegas.
Although Pastor Charles was baptized in the Holy Spirit and manifested the 1 Corinthians 12 gifts he felt a leading to join the Southern Baptist Denomination. He started two Southern Baptist Churches from 1977-1981 while in Las Vegas. Pastor Charles stayed in the Air Force until 1986 and after 14 years of active duty he was honorably discharged so that he could travel and minister the Word as God on a full-time basis.
Pastor Charles remained in the Southern Baptist Denomination from 1977 until 2000 growing churches and bringing the joy of the walk in the Holy Spirit to mainline denominational ministries. Pastor Charles has ministered the Gospel message in Africa, Korea, India, Philippines, Switzerland, Germany, and Spain, not counting Preaching and Pastoring in many places within the USA.
In 2000 the Lord led Pastor Charles & Debby to move to Germany to start RSIM, (RAISING THE STANDARD INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY). It is a Ephesians 4:11-16 House Church Ministry. Pastor Charles greatly enjoyed the ministry in Germany where he and Debby lived from May 2000 until returning to the States in 2009 to begin RSIM USA.
From Feb. 2009 until April 2013 he and Debby headquartered RSIM in Crawfordville, Fl. in Wakulla County, which is twenty miles South of Tallahassee, Florida. In May 2013 Pastor Charles & Debby moved and relocated the RSIM headquarters to Thomasville, N.C. where they actively worked with other Pastors advancing the kingdom of God.
In March 2016 Pastor Charles moved to Apalachicola fulfilling a dream from the Lord about a revival coming to the Panhandle of Florida. He became the Pastor of a beautiful little church called First Baptist Church Apalachicola. From March 2016 to October 2018 Pastor Charles majored on 2 things, Pastoring FBC Apalachicola and honoring and caring for his in-laws. While doing so, his father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away and went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ in His Kingdom.
While Pastoring FBC Apalachicola. Pastor Charles still was involved in seeking and training men in the ministry to release to the nations. The main emphasis of RSIM today is locating and connecting Ephesians 4:11 Spiritual Leaders while training others who feel called into the ministry.
