CORRECTION: Myles Munroe's Daughter Didn't Die In Bahamas Plane Crash

The Bahamas Faith Ministries International has issued a statement discrediting news that Myles Munroe's daughter, Charissa Munroe died in the a plane crash in the Bahamas alongside her parents.

See statement issued on the group's official website;

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.

Myles Munroe's Prophetic Dream, Premonition of Death; Plus: Charisa Munroe is Alive After All! Here’s a Statement by Her and Her Brother

There is nothing left. I am ready to die. That's how I want to die because there is nothing else for me left to die. When you die, die like I am planning to die. Empty. It is finished." -Pastor Myles Munroe
(The Bahamas)—As memorials to Myles Munroe continue to flood in from around the world, news reports have surfaced describing a profound prophetic dream he had shortly before dying, as well as a "premonition of his own death" while he and his wife were ministering in Africa several weeks ago.

In an interview with Jeff Koinange on Kenya's KTN JKL Show, Munroe said: "I want to challenge every Kenyan to go to the cemetery and disappoint the graveyard. Die like the Apostle Paul who said I have finished my course, I have kept the faith and I have been poured out like a drink offering. There is nothing left. I am ready to die. That's how I want to die because there is nothing else for me left to die. When you die, die like I am planning to die. Empty. It is finished."

In a recent YouTube video Munroe is also seen talking about a profound dream he had. At the time, he believed the dream was for a message he was set to deliver at the Leadership Conference in Grand Bahama. However, considering the plane crash meant he never shared the dream at the conference; it has taken on a much deeper significance.

In the dream, Munroe saw a track and field athlete lying in his coffin, clutching a baton. "It was about people dying with a baton instead of passing it on," he said. "I was thinking, the young person who's supposed to lead next has to go to the casket, pry the baton out of the dead man's hand to take it to the next leg."

"We are in a leadership dilemma," he continued. "The reality is, effective leaders always prepare their replacements. People would rather die than pass it [the baton] on, so you have young leaders having to fight to get it. Great leaders pass it on before they die and they live to see the other runner run."
CBN also reports today that in Israel, both Jews and Christians, are mourning the loss of Munroe and his wife.

"Myles Munroe was a key leader of the global evangelical movement with a big heart for Israel," the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem said in a statement. "His tragic passing is a loss for Christians and for the Jewish people he loved."

"Israel had no better friend," said Knesset Christian Allies Caucus Director Josh Reinstein. "His faith and love of Israel was an inspiration to all of us."

A statement from surviving family members, Myles Munroe Jr and his sister Charisa, read in part: "We will not allow death to claim any victory, but we celebrate the life and legacy of each individual. This tragedy does not mark the end; the end of life, the end of a vision, the end of a journey, nor the end of a purpose, but it marks the new beginning of an era...

"So let's not mourn their deaths but let's celebrate their lives and find joy in knowing that although God may not explain Himself, He will reveal Himself. In the words of our father, 'The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.' We know there is a greater purpose in all of this and we are now the vessels for this new vision and legacy to be carried on."
