Fritz Mascarenhas is a devoted evangelist whose life took a dramatic turn when he encountered Jesus Christ in 1976. After 13 years of serving as an officer in the merchant navy, Fritz left his successful career behind to fully devote himself to evangelization. His personal experience of encountering Jesus and receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit ignited a profound passion for spreading the Gospel and winning souls for Christ. Fritz founded the Institute for World Evangelization ICPE Mission, which became his platform for missionary work, retreats, and spreading the word of God. Despite initial challenges, including opposition from his family and financial struggles, Fritz remained unwavering in his commitment to serving God's mission. His story serves as an inspiring testament to the transformative power of faith and the call to share the message of Christ with the world.
Throughout the interview, Fritz Mascarenhas shares insights into his spiritual journey, the importance of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, and the challenges he faced in the early stages of his ministry. He emphasizes the need for all Christians to respond to the call to evangelize and encourages those feeling the nudge to spread the word of God to step out in faith, trusting that God will provide the grace and resources needed for the mission. Fritz's unwavering dedication to his calling and his impact on countless lives demonstrate the profound influence that one person's faith and obedience can have on the world.

“During our first interview on 100Fold, I asked our guests, a married couple, for advice. That is what we do, ask those who have made the journey of life and learn from their great and profound wisdom and eloquence. I asked her if a person is feeling called or pulled to service in a profoundly changing way, how do we know it is coming from God… She said, very simply, “if you are struggling with what seems to be a call to service of the Church, where do you think the call is coming from? It’s from Christ! Listen, and accept the joy the Christ has set out just for you.”” - Peter Karutz
