Biography of Dr. Myles Munroe

Myles Munroe: A Legacy of Faith and Leadership

Myles Egbert Munroe, a prominent Bahamian evangelist, ordained minister, author, and leadership consultant, was born in Nassau, Bahamas, in 1954. Growing up in a family of eleven children in the poverty-stricken Bain Town constituency, Munroe’s early life was marked by hardship. However, he found solace and purpose in his Christian faith, which would later become the cornerstone of his life and ministry.

After completing his education at Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa, Munroe founded Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI) in the early 1980s. With his charismatic personality and powerful message, Munroe quickly gained a global following. His teachings emphasized the importance of spiritual development, personal responsibility, and living a purposeful life. He authored numerous best-selling books on topics such as leadership, relationships, and personal growth, and his conferences and seminars attracted audiences from around the world.

Munroe’s commitment to social justice and human rights led him to establish the International Third World Leaders Association and the International Leadership Training Institute. These organizations aimed to empower individuals and communities to make a positive impact on the world.

Tragically, Munroe and his wife, Ruth, died in a plane crash in 2014. Their legacy, however, lives on through their teachings, their children, and the countless individuals who were inspired by their lives.
