BREAKING NEWS:Myles Munroe and wife Died in a plane crash

A popular minister and motivational speaker is said to have died in a small plane crash along with his wife Ruth Ann and nine other people on Sunday night, November 9, 2014.

According to The Associated Press, the private jet – a Lear 36 executive, reportedly struck a crane at the Grand Bahamas Ship yard exploding on impact and crashing into the ground near a junkyard area.

Dave Burrows, head of youth ministries for Munroe’s non-denominational Bahamas Faith Ministries International, said at a hastily convened news conference Sunday night that Munroe’s wife, Ruth — also a widely known figure in international evangelical circles — and the ministry’s senior vice president and pastor, Richard Pinder, were among those killed in the crash.

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.

Known for his work and teachings on leadership, purpose and maximizing your potential, vision, individual and national transformation, Dr. Munroe was the senior pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries International Fellowship, where his wife, Ruth Ann, served as co-senior pastor. They had two children, daughter, Charisa and son, Chairo (Myles Jr.) Munroe. May theirs souls rest in perfect peace.
