Kingdom Theologian, Leadership Teacher, and Bestselling Author1954 to 2014

Myles Munroe

Born in poverty in the Bahamas, Myles Munroe became one of the most influential kingdom theology teachers in the world, reframing the gospel around purpose, identity, and the restoration of God's original mandate for humanity, with particular resonance across Africa and the global diaspora.

CORE CONVICTION

“The wealthiest places in the world are not gold mines or oil fields or farmlands. They are cemeteries, because there lie buried inventions, books, songs, and solutions that were never released.”

LESSER-KNOWN FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT

From a Nassau Ghetto to the United Nations Podium

Myles Munroe grew up in one of the poorest communities in Nassau, Bahamas, one of eleven children in a household with limited resources and no expectation of global influence. Through a personal encounter with Christ as a teenager and a conviction that the gospel was about far more than heaven after death, he began developing what would become kingdom theology: the idea that God's original mandate was for human beings to govern the earth under His authority, and that the fall had not cancelled that mandate but the cross had restored it. He eventually addressed the United Nations, the European Parliament, and leaders of over 120 nations, arguing that the greatest threat to any country is not poverty or war but the death of potential in its citizens.
