About Us

Blackaby Ministries International was founded in response to the many opportunities the Blackaby family and ministry team receive to share their unique, God-given message globally — helping people experience God and equipping leaders to follow Him.

Henry and Marilynn Blackaby served in several churches in California before relocating to Saskatchewan, Canada, to lead a struggling congregation that had dwindled to only ten members. During their eighteen years in Canada, they saw God work in miraculous ways, helped plant numerous churches, and reared their five children.

Through those experiences, God taught the Blackabys truths about Himself that became the basis for the best-selling book Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God — a message that has since reached millions of believers in over 175 countries.

Growing up in that spiritually rich environment, all five of Henry and Marilynn’s children sensed God calling them into full-time ministry. Their oldest son, Dr. Richard Blackaby, leads Blackaby Ministries International from Atlanta and continues to speak and develop resources. Dr. Thomas Blackaby serves as lead pastor of Maple Ridge Alliance Church in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada. Dr. Melvin Blackaby serves as the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Jonesboro, GA. Dr. Norman Blackaby is a professor at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas. Carrie Blackaby Webb served as a career missionary to Germany and later worked with Blackaby Ministries International in Jonesboro, GA. Her life of faithful service continues to bear fruit for the Kingdom.

Through the years, God has used the Blackabys to help people around the world experience God. We pray He will continue to revive His people and equip spiritual leaders to impact the world for Christ.
