Dr. Myles Munroe, along with his wife and daughter, died in a plane crash on Sunday, November 9, 2014. The small plane crashed into a crane as it was approaching the Grand Bahama Airport. Dr. Munroe and eight other passengers were on the Lear 36 jet which left the Lynden Pindling International Airport at 4:07 p.m. According to the Department of Civil Aviation, the aircraft crashed as it was making its landing.
Munroe, born in 1954, was the founder and president of the Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BMFI) and Myles Munroe International (MMI). BMFI, a non-profit company, is not a church but a Christian Growth and Resource Center which oversees a network of agencies and ministries which provide for the training, recruitment, development and release of spiritually sound, purpose-driven, confident and character-based individuals. These individuals are motivated to excel by their conscious responsibility to make the most of their inherent leadership potential.
Pastor Munroe was the president of the International Leadership Training Institute, the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the International Third World Leaders Association. He was also an internationally renowned teacher, leadership mentor, bestselling author, motivational speaker, life coach and government consultant. He has traveled extensively around the globe as a trainer for leaders in religion, business, education, government, media and sports.
This multi-gifted speaker has authored 69 books and helped countless people transition from potential into purpose. His ministry centered on the Kingdom of God and not a religion. His teachings emphasized that the whole Bible and the message of Jesus has nothing to do with a particular religion as most people understood it. When asked about his vision he replied:
I exist to transform followers into leaders. My philosophy is, trapped in every follower is a leader. My belief is, if that person is placed in the right environment, the leader will manifest herself or himself.
As the president of MMI, Dr. Munroe said his personal commitment, dedication and passion was to help as many people as he could discover and fulfill their God-given purpose for life. He vowed to give all of his time, gifts, energy and talent to serve the success of others. Munroe said:
They deserve the best and I intend to give them my best.
In 1988 Munroe was recognized as the youngest recipient of the Queen’s Birthday Honors of the Order of The British Empire Award. This honor was bestowed by Her Majesty, England’s Queen Elizabeth, for his social and spiritual contributions to the country’s national development. For providing 25 years of outstanding service, he also received the Silver Jubilee Award from the government of the Bahamas.
At the time of his death Dr. Munroe was headed to the Global Leadership Forum. This conference, hosted by Munroe, was scheduled for November 10th through 13th. The Forum is reportedly continuing despite the leader’s untimely death. It is being held at the Grand Lucayan Resort Bahamas under the theme, “Leading Change in a Globalized World Through Principled Innovative Leadership.”
Leader of the Democratic National Alliance, Branville McCartney, said Dr. Munroe’s legacy will not be forgotten but will continue to impact and inspire generations of great Bahamians. He offered his condolences to the family and his loved ones and said:
The Bahamas lost one of its greatest sons. His work as a religious and community leader over the years has inspired a generation of Bahamians. Dr. Munroe was always eternally invested in the future and development of our great country, its direction, the strength of its leadership and its focus on the will of God.
Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife, Ruth Ann, were the proud parents of two children: Myles Jr. and Charisa. Reportedly, his wife and daughter were also among the passengers who did not survive the crash. His son, church family and leaders worldwide mourn the passing of one of the greatest leaders of this generation who devoted his life to empowering people to reach their full potential.
*UPDATE:
Original reports stated Dr. Myles and Ruth Monroe’s daughter Charisa was also killed in the plane crash. New reports confirmed she never boarded the plane and is still alive.

I’m so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
These two better settle their score now before everything ends up burnt!
I long to “visit” the Bahamas Church and brethren see how they church is doing!
A GALLENT SOLDIER I WILL NEVER FORGET IN MY LIFE. INDEED A GREAT TREE HAS FALLEN BUT AM CONSOLED IN THE SPIRIT THAT WE SHALL SAMEDAY MEET IN HEAVEN.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE WITH THE LORD
I met Dr. Munroe personally on my Honeymoon in 2007. But have been reading his books since 2004. I will miss you my friend.

If there is a man of God I looked up-to, a mentor, for inspiration, that man is Dr Myles Munroe, his books and messages have always challenged me and changed me. Three weeks ago when he was in Nairobi-Kenya, I listened to listened to him… and one of the things I can’t forget is when he 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 poured out like a drink offering. There is nothing left. I am ready to die… when you die, die like I am planning to die, empty. It’s finished….” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZptzFk_TkA
Hey! Dr. Myles….??? So many questions in my heart. I can only console myself knowing you poured it all out to us all. We mourn with your family, the church and the whole christendom. We would have loved to have you more here but I believe God called you. I can still hear you preaching in Shiloh….I can still hear Mama Ruth greeting the congregation in that golden voice. My Bishop, David Oyedepo (who you call your twin brother) will feel your absence and the whole Winners Chapel, Worldwide whom you imparted greatly upon miss you sorely but we know that ‘Forever with the Lord, you will be, Amen, So let it be. Good night Dear Brother and Sisters.
Dr. MUNROE IMPACTED MY LIFE REAL HARD WHEN I HEARD THE REDISCOVERING THE KINGDOM SERIES. I NEW THERE WAS MORE TO THE BIBLE THAN THE MILK OF THE WORD. Dr. MYLES MUNROE GAVE ME THE MEAT FOR FURTHER GROWTH. I MISS YOU BROTHER MYLES. RIP, THE PEOPLE WILL CARRY IT ON. GOD BLESS MYLES PEOPLES STAY STRONG MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, THANK YOU BACK FAMILY FOR GIVING ME YOUR MYLES MUNROE IN MY LIFE. TEARS AND HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!
I always listened to this anointed man of GOD. Being in Nairobi Kenya I feel the weight of losing one of my favorite preachers in the you tube. We r together in this period of crying and mourning. The family, the church, and friends my prayers goes to you until GOD strengthen you enough.
My prayers goes to the family, the church and in particular Myles Jr. That the Holy Spirit who comfort may comfort him at this hardest moment of his life. Will always pray for him. GOD KNOWS.
”ABSENT FROM THE BODY, IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD”
Rest in the arms of Jesus
So painful and such a waste of life. May you be received by the Lord. Sleep well a wonderful and blessed mentor.
Thank you for giving us God’s word and giving your life for the gospel.
I have never met Dr. Munroe personally, but he was a personal friend on my previous pastor, and I heard him peach. He was a great man of God and a awesome speaker of the word or God. My heart is aching.
My prayers are with the Munroe family, especially his surviving son. We have peace in knowing they are with God.
Blessing and prayers!!
Such a tragedy
Dr. Myles Munroe, was divinely gifted to the Body of Christ. I have read many of his books
and watched his as he ministered to thousands on TV. Our prayers go out for the families.
My heart is heavy, but we as Christian don’t mourn as the world..for we have a great hope in your Savior to one day meet him face to face…My prayers go out to the Monroe Family
Sincere condolence to family and friends. He was a great inspiration to me and my family. I met Myles Munroe, his family and choir members when I was a member of the Spirit of Christ Ministry in Miami, FL. He fellowship with Pastor Lamb’s ministry always bringing his choir with him. I admired him so much because of the way he would minister to us the word of God. It was a blessing knowing him and watching him when he was ordained by Oral Roberts. He will truly be missed. RIP
First I Thank God for such a wonderful powerful creation He made to in our lives. Pastor Munroe touch people in ways unknown. He was Gods vessel used mighty. I grew up in the spirit watching him on TBN. He preached so simple and easy the even an average person could understand what God was saying through him. I received his book on ‘Prayer’ it was awesome. It took me to a different dimension of how to present myself before God in prayer. Reading that book let me know that prayer is plural. Instead of me, its us, instead of I, its we. It means a lot to me. I encourage you to get that book, and also the best seller, ‘Gods Plan….’. I rejoice that more souls have made it into the kingdom. Let this be a time to rejoice, cause he has finished his worked. With also his wife on his side fulfilling her vows to he, along with their daughter. We all know that it it is written, weeping endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. For they are now in the presence of the King for whom they stood. Amen.
I WILL CONTINUE TO DAILY WATCH THE PROGRAMS. READ THE BOOKS TELL
THE WORLD THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM GOD, THE TEACHING OF JESUS
CHRIST AND THE LOVE OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. I WILL GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND TEACH, PREACH THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, SO REMEMBER. LET NOT YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. IF YOU BELIVE IN GOD, THEN BELIEVE IN JESUS AND REMEMBER THE LORDS PRAYER DAILY ALL DAY LONG.
Dr Munroe was a great inspiration to me as I learned about Jesus and His love for me. I read his books and listened to his sermons on Trinity Broadcast. He will be missed but God has gained more faithful children in His kingdom. Rest in peace Monroe Family
He will always be remembered. A great man of God, like Paul he has finished the course. God has used him to help us know we are a new creation. RIP to all who died in this crash. May all who mourn be comforted.

Rest in peace all of you men and women of God, For the bible says: “now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
In your own words Dr. Munroe, “The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a purpose.” This statement will burn in our hearts forever as we strive to complete our purpose.
They will be greatly missed… Our prayers are with the family and church family. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I recently lost my beloved husband so I can identify with the pain. Our Lord Jesus is able to mend our broken hearts, my prayers are with the family and church members. Pray and keep trusting in The Lord. He will never leave you . Prayerfully with the love of Jesus.
May the the good Lord grant Dr Munroe eternal rest. To me his death is a sad news but God knows the best. We will miss him greatly here on earth.
My prayers and thoughts are with his family and church family. May God give them comfort that only He can give.

MAY THEY SOULS REST IN PEACE …….WE WILL MISS YOU DAD THANK YOU FOR VISITING SOUTH AFRICA
Indeed the church and the world at large have lost a great Man of God. He has really been poured out as a drink offering to this generation. His examplery leadersh ip through the wisdom of Gods word has taught met that leadership is birthed out of the discovery of our God given purpose. Lord secure his soul and the soul of his comrades in eternity even now till we meet him at the resurrection. Love you Mr. and Mrs. Munroe
God is perfect & excellent in all His ways. His wisdom will not allow Him to make mistakes. Dr, Myles Munroe’s death was not an error. So, those still should keep the flag flying.
The angels in Heaven celebrate as this Family of God enter into the Gates of Heaven, enroute to their final promotion. Your living has not been in vain because SURELY, you have helped many, many people to define their purpose and reach their potential using Godly principles. I am blessed to have benefitted from some of your teachings.
How can you say thank you, when thank just doesn’t seem enough!!! thank you mighty God for this gift you gave to us. Thank you for the time they had with us.thank you for a man of God who told God Truth to his people.
While attending one of his conference the tears began to pour down my face, I was thinking “I wish my children would meet me at the airport in excitement saying what did you learn,what did you learn”? Dr.Myle said,”some of you are sitting crying saying I wish my children would meet me saying” what did you learn”? He said,well , what you learn here this week your children are not going to listen But! where you will see what you learn will show up in your grand children because they are going to teach their children what you tried to teach them. My Brother you were so right . Thank you ,Thank you. God is the Glory
One quick message that came to me when I got this sad news is….. Are you living the purpose for which you are created ! Time is just too short and nobody knows when it will come to an end ( just like Munroe )
Thank God Myles Munroe made serious impact, lived a life of purpose and will be surely missed.

THE WORLD HAS LOST A GREAT MAN OF GOD. WE CAN NOT QUESTIONED GOD BECAUSE HE IS UNQUESTIONABLE. … R.I.P
May his soul and that of the members with him rest in peace. The whole world has lost one of the Greatest Heroes. He left a legacy. May his family find strength to continue with their life’s journey.
Dr. Myles Munroe, we celebrate your legacy. You build a generation through the world of God. We celebrate you. R.I.P. We meet in heaven.
I just listened to one of his messages on relationships last week and was so blessed! what a loss to this generation.

Its had to take this, a man of many parts, may your soul rest in peace…

Heaven has gained and we have lost. Thank you for all you have done for the body of Christ, we will definately use it.
like Paul ,you have run the race,kept your faith,and awaiting you is the reward of your labour, I have never met you ,but i always listened to you, you were a real inspiration, I know you are at a better place, you are not dead, but just crossed over to our Father God, and our brother and King….. Jesus….well done Mr Munroe, you have run your race…..my desire is to follow in your footsteps and do what God has designated me to do……….
A wonderful speaker and a good orator. He just did not teach, he inspired and fearlessly challenged people to fully discover who they are to reach their full potential. All his motivational speeches had a focus, purpose and Christ centered.
I bless God for benefiting from this rare gift He blessed the world with over a short period.
I have read several of his books, and I must say, they have inspired me to be the person I am today and the person I am still to be. I am very saddened by his death.
Dr. Munroe was in Uganda last year and I attended his workshop, which was awesome. I am really distraught by his death, may your soul Rest In Eternal Peace – Brother and I know you are in a better place.
oh my gosh.. unbelievable, you have left a mark in the sand of time .. adieu

I hope Dr Munroe’s teachings transformed the lives of the high profile personalities who had the opportunity to hear him and even award him. It is appointed for man to die once and after that judgement, the Bible says. Rest in peace my friend.
Rest in peace Dr. Myles Munroe, thanks for the marvelous contribution to human ideology in economics, politics,belief in God and many social aspects. My hero and role model has gone soon, hope to join you once again in eternity.
My mentor and role model,you indeed left empty.Rest in bosom of Abraham until we reign together again.
Dr. Myles is a transformational and motivational Christian Leader. He has influenced my life a great deal. His death is a big loss to the Bahamians and to the entire world. I will live to remember him through his messages and books. Thank God that he had prepared people already to continue with the good work. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the dead of his saint”
What a man He was..
The world has lost a great leader but He will not be forgotten but His legacy and the impact he made remains with us.Our deepest condolences to the surviving son, the whole family of Munroe at large and the Bahamas church..May the peace of God and the comfort of the Spirit of God help you through this time of mourning.
