10 November 2014 ACDP Parliament Media Statement ACDP President Rev Kenneth Meshoe, MP ACDP saddened by tragic death of renowned Christian leader It is with a deep sense of shock and sadness that the ACDP learned of the tragic death of internationally renowned Christian leader, Dr Myles Munroe and his wife, Ruth - two of nine who died in a plane crash in the Bahamas yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones, particularly his son and daughter, Chariso (Myles Jr) and Charisa, and all who were part of the Bahamas Faith Ministries. He was a key figure in the early years of the ACDP attending one of our conferences as the key note speaker and giving advice. “My family and I are shocked and devastated, we have lost a key Christian leader who was a personal friend and who also had a huge influence worldwide”, said Rev Kenneth Meshoe. “We send condolences and blessings to his family and congregation. Our hearts are with them.” We also extend our condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones in this tragic accident, including those of Senior Vice President and Pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries, Richard Pinder. Dr Munroe was a prolific writer and a highly regarded and sought-after motivational speaker, particularly in the spheres of business, leadership and governance. Among the many accolades he received, was the Order of the British Empire (OBE), which he received in 1998 (the youngest ever recipient in his nation at the time) for his “spiritual and social contributions to the national development of his nation, the Bahamas”. Dr Munroe was a true nation-builder and his legacy and commitment to being a world-changer through excellence and astute, savvy, servant leadership will remain an inspiration and standard to us all for many generations to come.
