Minister Immanuel Yulee, Sr. was born in Tampa, Florida, on July 7, 1963. The second of eleven children. Immanuel was raised by his parents, Stephen S. Yulee, Sr. and Mary Lou Yulee. Mr. Yulee was educated in the schools of Hillsborough County attending, Sidney Lanier and Orange Grove Elementary, James Monroe and Booker T. Washington Jr. High and T.R. Robinson High School. Work History: Salvation Army, factory work, insurance and car rental/salesman. Mr. Yulee was presented to the following of Christ through a devout Mother whom exposed him to a bible at an early age. He took what he learned from her and later obtained his Credentials of Ministry from Universal Life Church Ministries. Three of his greatest accomplishments: First and foremost, Mr. Yulee loved God. He stayed in his bible. He received his Credentials of Ministry from Universal Life Church Ministries out of Modesto, CA, on May 21, 2002, and has since spent over 23 years spreading the gospel. Receiving his credentials was his heartbeat, but mostly ministering to the homeless. Secondly, Mr. Yulee was proud of his 5 sons. He wasn't always at football games or parent-teacher meetings, like a typical dad, but his 5 boys were always a topic of conversation. He said his boys were the ones that inspired him to go to a music studio. They didn't always fully understand his absence, because he was doing what he felt God was leading him to do, but he loved his boys. Lastly, the Salvation Army. Mr. Yulee rang the bell for the Salvation Army every Christmas for many years. He would sing gospel songs to passers by, give a word of encouragement, and even pray with those who accept his offer.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Yulee; father, Steven S. Yulee; brothers, Steven S. Yulee, Jr., Andrew Yulee, Phillip Yulee, and sister, Phyllis Yulee.
