The media initially reported that
Charisa Munroe (Myles Munroe’s only daughter) was amongst the nine individuals
that were on board the ill fated plane crash that killed Dr Myles Munroe, his
wife Ruth Munroe and seven others, but the Bahamas Faith Ministry released a statement that proved
otherwise.
Read the statement below:
On behalf of the Board of Governors and
the entire Bahamas Faith Ministries Family we wish to extend our gratitude for
the tremendous outpouring of love and support by the many persons who have
offered condolences and prayers.
Among those
confirmed to have passed away on the November 9th tragic plane crash were:
Founder & President of Bahamas Faith Ministries
International Dr. Myles Munroe
Senior Vice-President Dr. Richard Pinder,
Newly installed Youth Pastors Lavard and Radel Parks and
their son Johannan,
Pilots Stanley Thurston and Farkhan Cooper and one
additional passenger.
Words cannot express our profound sense
of loss for all of the team members on this tragic flight. Dr. Myles Munroe was
our visionary, our founder, our mentor, advisor, father figure and friend. He
was a global leader and icon and was respected worldwide. His wife Ruth was a
faithful companion and constant support for Dr. Myles Munroe and was equally
beloved.
Dr. Richard Pinder was the embodiment
of a true Pastor who loved people, was faithful in service and gave his best to
all. Pastor Rich as he was affectionally called was truly the glue that kept
our ministry together. His warm smile and personal pastoral care was truly a
comfort and a blessing to so many of our members throughout the years of our
church.
Pastors Lavard & Radel Parks were
recently installed as Youth Pastors of the Youth Ministry having both being
officially ordained and installed as the church’s second full time Youth
Pastors on Easter Sunday April 20th 2014. Both were products of both Dr. Munroe
and Dr. Pinders’ leadership and were personally mentored by Dr.Dave &
Pastor Angie Burrows.
Our pilots included Senior Officer
Stanley Thurston who was an experienced pilot and served for many years as
Pastor Myles’s personal pilot. Also on board was Co-Pilot Frakhan Cooper who
was also a faithful member of our aviation team. Both gave excellent service.
Dr. Munroe taught us to have faith and
to pursue purpose and advance the Kingdom Principles of Jesus Christ here on
earth. He also taught us to be leaders. As a Church body and organization we
will move forward as Dr. Munroe would have wanted us to. We recognize that
there will be challenges but we have full confidence that God will see us
through and we intend to make our founding leaders proud.
We ask for your continued prayers and
support. We will issue further details on plans for home going services and
other matters relating to the future of Bahamas Faith Ministries in due course.
