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.
