The International Gospel Fellowship, Inc. birthed on October 18th, 1999, was the result of a great spiritual burden that was experienced in the ministry of Bishop Lloyd R. Ocampo. Having a genuine desire to serve God in spirit and in truth and escape the pretense of mechanical religion, Pastor Ocampo was led out by the Holy Ghost to form the International Gospel Fellowship, Inc. (IGF Inc.).
From October 1999 to September 2001, Pastor Ocampo spent much time reestablishing the spiritual foundation of its members which consisted of only two families at that time. Additionally, efforts were implemented to restructure the administrative facet of the IGF Inc. as well. During this period of rebuilding, many Christian Higher Learning lessons, inspirational books, along with syndicated and non-syndicated newsletter articles were written by Pastor Lloyd Ocampo.
April 15th, 2003, marked another turning point for the IGF ministry and organization -- it was then that the Lord saw graciously to consecrate Pastor Ocampo to the Episcopacy of 'Apostle' and 'Sovereign Bishop' of the IGF Inc. in Jackson, MS. under the hands of the Presiding Bishop of Christ International Churches, Inc. along with the CICI College of Bishops.
