Dr. Myles Munroe, the leader of Bahamas
Faith Ministries, was killed Sunday when
the plane he was in hit a construction
crane, exploded and crashed in the
Bahamas.
Munroe's wife, Ruth, was also among the

In addition to founding BFMI, the

Leadership Forum -- an event organized
by Munroe.
A note on Munroe's ministry Facebook
page reads: "On behalf of Myles Munroe
International and ITWLA. We would like
to inform you that the Global Leadership
Forum will continue. The Forum will be
for two and a half days (Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday morning). This is what
Dr. Munroe would have wanted. Please
keep his family and the ministry in
prayers."
According to The Associated Press, a
