Dr. Myles Munroe, Pastor Ruth and Pastor Richard Pinder all perished with six others on Sunday, November 9th when his Lear jet crashed at the Grand Bahama Shipyard. It was en route from Nassau.

Reports said that the plane clipped the side of a crane at the Shipyard and "exploded on impact". The weather was said to be a factor.

The nine passengers aboard the plane belonging to Dr. Myles Munroe were heading to Grand Bahama for the Global Leadership Forum scheduled for November 10th through 13th to be hosted by Myles Munroe, the leader of Bahamas Faith Ministries International, which did take place despite the tragedy. 

Prime Minister of The Bahamas, the Hon. Perry Christie said in a press statement, " It is utterly impossible to measure the magnitude of Dr. Munroe's loss to The Bahamas and to the world. He was indisputably one of the most globally recognizable religious figures our nation has ever produced.  Dr. Munroe was a man of immense charisma and persuasive appeal. He was regarded by a great many persons as the Conscience of The Nation. Certainly, he was among the most defining and influential spiritual leaders of the modern Bahamas and, I daresay, of the wider world of Christian evangelism as well."

Bahamas Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Obie Wilchcombe said, " Dr. Munroe was a global leader, a pillar of strength and inspiration for many and a pioneer of religious tourism in the Bahamas. Dr. Munroe also acted as an ambassador for The Bahamas, taking his Ministry to thousands and participated in numerous foundations and conclaves around the world."

Bahamas Faith Ministries Pastor Dave Burrows said in a press statement, "We thank all Bahamians, and those who have called from the international community, for your  prayers and expressions of comfort..."
