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 in yesterday’s tragic plane crash were Founder & President of Bahamas Faith Ministries International Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife Pastor Ruth 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. 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. 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.

Bello Olajide 11/28/2014 6:48 PM bro i wept when i heard your passing away , but listening to one of your message i belied that you died empty , you truly poured it all out coach ... we love you Simon Ajack 11/28/2014 6:15 PM You have enriched the world Christianity Even though my heart aches for the thought of having been taken too soon, your teachings have enriched the world of those who heard/read them. You have lived your purpose and without a doubt you have completed your assignment. I just pray that your departure was all Gods and no foul play in it. You were my second favourite teacher after Jesus Christ. I was looking forward to one day shake your hands in Bahamas but I guess that will be realized in heaven. Rest in peace brother. Olumide 11/28/2014 2:25 PM He died empty!!! It is a very difficult thing to accept that this great man of our Greatest God and his team has left us. I still cannot wrap my finite mind around it. However, the man, Dr Myles Munroe, was aware of the shortness of his time to complete his assignment on earth and he did. He said “I want to die empty” and he did. He also said “I do not want to add to the cemetery’s treasure”, and he did not; delivering entirely all that God gave him to humanity!!! He kept nothing back!!! What a life!!! IThess 4:13-18 - 13 ¶ But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. We will miss him on this side of existence but heaven is rejoicing on the other side, welcoming him and his team home!!! May the Comforter, the Holy Spirit continue to comfort all of BFMI family and the entire body of Christ in this season and for ever. Roger Kodjo 11/28/2014 1:29 PM Well done faithfull servant! Myles, you found your gift and served it to the world. You indeed emptied yourself. The grave will not rob you. Well done faithfull servant shall the Lord say onto you. Victor Fishington 11/28/2014 1:16 PM Dr. Miles Munroe, modern day John the Baptiste proclaiming repentance for the Kingdom of God is at hand To our BFM family: My wife Judy and I have had the pleasure of being in the presence of Gods disciples, Dr. Miles and Pastor Ruth Munroe and have received divine teachings in Bermuda our home land, Bahamas and Israel; on Kingdom Principles and Concepts which we are grateful and continuously strive to apply them to our lives daily. We believe, along with all Kingdom Ambassadors that their spirits are with God and we are at peace. We offer our sincere condolences to Miles Munroe Jr, and Charisa who we have had the privilege of meeting and to the entire Munroe family. God Bless! Ruth Brown 11/28/2014 9:10 AM With love from the Browns Its been a pleasure and privilage to have been taught by and minister along side of the leadership of BFMI for over 20 years. My entire family will certainly miss and always remember them. Of all the things I could say, one thing stands out most at this time: No matter where or when we met, the Browns have always been welcomed with open arms and the love we received was always consistently genuine. Our grief is real, but we have a hope. We will miss you all, but look forward to seeing you again. So, Papa Myles & Mama Ruth, Bigger Boss (Pas.
