Contrary to reports that Charissa Munroe died in the ill fated plane
crash that killed her parents, the church, Bahamas Faith Ministry, has
released a statement stating otherwise. Read it 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 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.
