people in the service
The Men of Praise International Fellowship (MPIF) traces its humble origins back to a reunion gathering of just 10 Christian men in the city of Effurun / Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, in July 2008. What initially began as a small and modest gathering has now flourished into a remarkable and thriving fellowship that has gained widespread recognition and presence globally. It is a non-denominational and interdenominational fellowship open to married men of all backgrounds and races.
Over the years, MPIF has experienced exponential growth, both in terms of its numerical strength and in the abundant grace and glory of God that accompanies its endeavors. Today, MPIF stands as a vibrant and visible force, touching and transforming lives with the righteousness of God through its diverse ministries spanning various spheres of human endeavor, including family, business, culture, work, environment, and creation as a whole.
Through its unwavering commitment to spreading the teachings of faith, hope, and love, MPIF has impacted countless lives, leaving a lasting and positive influence on individuals and communities worldwide. As an organization deeply rooted in the principles of Christian values, MPIF continues to inspire and uplift, making a significant difference in the lives of people from all walks of life.
At MPIF, Jesus Christ is our Lord, King, and Head. As members, we are His body and joint heirs with Him. We most happily welcome you this happy family of God. God bless you!”
