WHAT IS MIBF? WHAT DO WE VALUE?
Who are we?
A family of spiritual formation, authentic relationships, mutuality and legacy led by Bishop Kenneth C Ulmer.
FAMILY
We are a spiritual family of priority, unconditional love and acceptance; which fosters a place of safety and support
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
We believe in organic discipleship through teaching, spirit-led activity and doing life together.
RELATIONSHIPS
We are a supportive, confidential, and grace-centered environment that provides a place for sharing and accountability.
LEGACY
We are stewards of wisdom, revelation and anointing that has come before us, and we have the responsibility to pass it down to the next generation, so that the chain is unbroken.
"IF YOUR VISION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY YOU THEN IT IS TOO SMALL."
-Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer
WHY THE NEED?
“God places the lonely in families…” Psalm 68:6 (NLT)
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NLT)
“By yourself you’re unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 (MSG)

Wrestle with anxiety
Don’t have a mentor
Take prescription drugs for things such as anxiety, depression, or mood disorders

THE HISTORY OF MIBF
Dr. Ulmer was consecrated Bishop of Christian Education of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, where he served as a founding member on the Bishops Council. Macedonia International Bible Fellowship started in 1998 with a conversation in Johannesburg, South Africa. Dr. Ulmer was in South Africa to speak to Pastors and Leaders. Upon arrival, a group of Pastors met him and asked him to “father” them in ministry. The term they used; “Father” spoke to Dr. Ulmer’s heart and passion for genuine relationships and confirmed what God had been saying to him. Macedonia International Bible Fellowship was born in that moment and now the MIBF community consists of pastors and churches representing ministries in Africa and the U.S.
