Dr. Myles Munroe is the Founder, President, and Senior
Pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries International, an
all-encompassing network of ministries headquartered in Nassau,
Bahamas. He is a multi-gifted international motivational
speaker, best selling author and business consultant
addressing critical issues affecting every aspect of human,
social and spiritual development.
The
headlines of the NASSAU GUARDIAN newspaper dated December 2,
1998 featured Dr. Myles Munroe as one of the youngest recipients
of the Queen's Birthday Honors 1998, Officer of the
British Empire (OBE). The distinguished Myles Munroe was
honored for what he has done as an individual and his
contributions to the growth and strength of the Bahamas. Two
weeks earlier, Dr. Munroe was honored by the Government of the
Bahamas where he was the recipient of the Silver Jubilee
Award for providing twenty five years of outstanding service
to the Bahamas in the category of Religion. Both national and
international awards are the highest honors given by the
Bahamian Government and the Queen, and it was not surprising to
find our Senior Pastor among the honorees.
Dr. Munroe's years of
successful dedication and service to mankind stemmed from his
personal vision of "Transforming followers into Leaders".
The spiritual impact being made by him is evidenced by the
demand for his books to be distributed in over 80 countries
through the best seller distribution process. Pastor Myles'
message is that all men are equal and every human being has a
purpose and the potential to fulfill his God-given purpose in
life. He has a passion for helping people in developing
Third World countries to understand they are born with an
awesome destiny and the ability to fulfill their God-given
dreams. His teachings focus on the historical mental damage that
has affected millions of people who have been oppressed or
displaced as a result of colonial powers, slave trades or other
negative historical experiences that had negative impacts on
their social adjustments.
In 1999, Pastor Myles received approximately 600
invitations to speak in 55 nations. The message the people want
to hear is:
"Everyone is born for a God-given purpose and potential to
fulfill that purpose."
He speaks the same message that Jesus preached concerning the
Kingdom of God which says we should discover His reason for our
existence and learn how to maximize our lives while inspiring
future generations. Pastor Myles has come along and brought a
spiritual transformation with an approach that is relevant and
necessary for national, social, political and cultural
development. It is especially relevant and necessary for
leadership development in every aspect of developing countries.
His approach in sharing the principles and precepts of Christ is
in a manner that is contemporary and relevant to every human
being. He is uniquely gifted in being able to help the Christian
Believer adapt to every environment without having to adopt the
negative principles of that environment.
Pastor Myles believes in reaching the world using every
aspect of the media including television, radio, the web, email,
and printed materials. He also believes we should strive to
reach the nations in the context of their own environment and,
instead of telling them to come to us, we must go to the
nations. His method is teaching rather than preaching because
many have been preached to, and it is now time to be taught.
Pastor Myles employs an intelligent and simple technique that is
practical and can be applied to our daily lives. Barriers have
been broken between denominations and different religions
through Pastor Myles' teachings because his approach is not to
become an antagonist but a peacemaker. He believes people cannot
grow unless they are able to sit and listen to each other and
not perceive each other as enemies. His warm personality and
love for all humans attracts him to people of diverse
backgrounds and he is always invited to return many times to
address the same audiences.
We know Dr. Myles Munroe as a gifted artist, a talented
concert pianist, master of the guitar and worship leader. But,
don't forget the words of his eldest sister, Sheila Francis,
"Myles is most inquisitive." Well, she was right because he has
discovered the world of golf among his friends of diverse
backgrounds.
Our Senior Pastor believes a true leader is a model for his
followers, and as Jesus led so does Myles Munroe - breaking
barriers to help all mankind in the discovery of destiny,
purpose, potential and leadership.
