Best selling author, preacher and business coach, Myles Munroe, and his wife, Mrs. Ruth Ann Munroe (both pictured), have died in a plane crash in the Bahamas.
His daughter, Charisa, was also initially reported to be on the flight but the reports have now been denied.
According to The Associated Press, the plane, a Lear LEA 36 executive jet, reportedly struck a crane at the Grand Bahama Ship Yard, exploding on impact and crashing into the ground near a junkyard area.
The Bahamas ministry of transport and aviation reported that the Lear 36 executive jet departed the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) in Nassau, Bahamas at 4:07pm for the Grand Bahama International Airport, a privately owned international airport in Freeport, Bahamas, with nine people on board.

The plane crashed while making an approach for landing at Grand Bahama International Airport at 5.10pm, it said. The crash killed all nine people on board the private jet.
The identities of the other people on board have not yet been confirmed.
The cause of the crash was not immediately determined, though there had been heavy rain across the region.

A full investigation is expected to begin on Monday.
The crash occurred as people were gathering in Grand Bahama for Dr. Munroe’s 2014 Global Leadership Forum which starts November 10.
Nigeria’s Folorunso Alakija, rated as Africa’s richest woman, was scheduled to speak at the forum.
Munro founded the Bahamas Faith Ministries International.

Nobody’s gonna get out of this life alive anyway!! RIP Myles
I could remember picking up one of his books 9 years ago and just the introduction or first page of chapter there about, inspired me alot… the world will miss him
i could remember just lyk yesyerday. ruth dragged me to akobo ibadan harvest house to listen to myles. i actually went because i extreemly love ruth and i dont want to make her annoyed at me for not respecting her mentor. i was so blessed as gbeminiyi gave up the pulpit for myles. i met myles one on one bought his book and got his autograph…. i will read ur book and act on it. you go on sleep on we shall see some day.
I have listened severally to Myles, He was gifted and served Jesus. What a tragic loss. He has impacted his and several generations. His teachings on the Kingdom principles in Redemption Camp was classic. Myles, his wife and daughter death is VERY painful. May Jesus receive their spirits and grant them eternal rest.
Its painful, I m short of words he was a general in God’s kingdom, rip myles
Dear Mentor,
You fought a good fight of faith.
You fulfilled your vision of making your followers leaders.
You gave birth to millions of leaders.
You touch and transformed life’s.
As you have gone to the great beyond to be with Christ, Your soul will rest in peace.
May the soul of Ruth, Charisa rest in peace, Amen
Oh! My God, this is a sad, sad news this morning, I love this man, he preaches like no other, the simplicity and the practicality of the word of God from his mouth blesses my soul, o! what a sad loss, but all to the Glory of God, may Jesus our LORD and SAVIOUR whose gospel Myles Munroe has propagated, receive his soul in his eternal kingdom, Amen and Amen.
This goes to show that, the time, the hour, the day, no man knows, so it’s left for all of us, to make our ways right with God, so that when the time finally comes, we shall not be found wanting and Jesus will be waiting right at the door for us. Hallelujah!
REST IN PEACE MYLES, your wife and daughter too and all the other passengers in the aircraft. May the Lord comfort your families.
The message in my church yesterday was just ringing in my ears and could not believe that it is preparing us to receive a news such as this. Dr Myles, you led a purposeful life and inspired many to greatness while giving meaning to a lot of lives worldwide. Rest in peace generals.
this is disastrous. imagine a whole family just died like that. God is faithful. May their souls rest in peace.
It’s really sad…….. God understands better. May his soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus name.
We have lost a leader, teacher and a preacher, but God himself will bind up our wounds May His Soul rest in peace
This is really sad and painful, a great loss indeed to humanity. I just hope and believe they made their ways right with God, we see them again over there. To all of us who are still living, its important we get ready at all times because death could come by any means, how prepared are we to stand before God to answer for our lives on earth here. Please, repent and give your life to Christ if you have not done so and it shall be well with you in Jesus name. Amen
I just lost one of my dearest mentors in life. May his soul rest in peace. He was an uncommon, practical and down to earth preacher of the word.
May the Lord grant you all everlasting peace
May Their Souls Rest In Perfect Peace.
May their soul rest in perfect peace.
Just coming from my father’s burial this morning, may their gentle souls all together flow in a serene cottage.
Bro Myles,
You fought the good fight of faith. Rest in the bosom of our Lord till we meet to part no more.
Hmm mm,thi is so sad News.to God be the Glory for Myles Munroe have empty his fullness on earth to the life men
Dr Munroe was a great motivator. He had indent understanding of the Kingdom of God and how it operates. He motivated us to live accordingly. I have learnt a lot from His teachings. A great loss to Christ’s Body on earth but to depart is “TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD” – 2COR 5:1-9. He said “The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without a purpose.”
so sad for d Munroes. may God give d family d fortitude to bear d loss.
This is a great loss to the world at large.
The death of the Lord’s general. I know you didn’t die but has gone to rest with Lord. May your soul rest in peace.
you mean he actually came to akobo Ibadan here? so sad i never had opportunity to attend any of his live program like this…
So shocking! So unreal! Rest in peace Dr Myles and Ruth Munroe. I cherish the memory of your visit to House of Grace Church. May God comfort your family and the families of all the victims.
I’ve been too numb to think clearly since I heard the news today. But in my religiously conservative mind, I feel there are certain deaths which certain people shouldn’t die, and Dr. Monroe certainly belonged in that circle. Was it a case of the devil sneaking in in an unguarded moment? Was it God’s time and God’s way of calling in His servant into rest? If so why the mass death? Oh why, why, why…? People of God, the devil prowls around like a roaring lion…men of God, watch out! May the soul of the departed rest in perfect peace
I just cant believe this was God, John 10,10 says the thief comes to steal kill and destroy…..
It is well. May your soul rest in peace.
wotta great shock!!!may both souls rest in blossom of christ..RIP!!Dr and dr mrs myles
Wicked death! May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.
RIP Dr myles and your lovely wife.its painful to bear but according to God’s word,in everything we give him(God)thanks.
