The Bahamas Faith Ministries International Fellowship has said it is going ahead with its Global Leadership Forum despite the death of its Senior Pastor, Myles Munroe.
The Ministries said it was what Munroe would have wanted despite the air crash on Sunday in which he died alongside his wife, Ruth, and seven others.
The jet in which Munroe and the others were travelling to the venue of the conference crashed on Sunday near Freeport on the island of Grand Bahama.
The aircraft hit a crane at the Freeport Ship Yard and crashed into a nearby “junk site,” police said.
“On behalf of Myles Munroe International and ITWLA. We would like to inform you that the Global Leadership Forum will continue,” Myles Munroe International posted on its Facebook page. “This is what Dr. Munroe would have wanted.”
The other identified victims of the crash are Stanley Jerome Thurston, Richard Howard Pinder and Frankhan Demeyer Cooper, all residents of the Bahamas.
The ITWLA is International Third World Leaders Association, which was founded by Munroe.
A former United States of America Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young, has expressed sadness over the death of the Munroes, who are his friends.
Young, who was also scheduled to arrive in Freeport, is also a speaker at the Forum.
“Ambassador Young expresses his deep sadness over the tragic death of his friends Dr. Myles and Mrs. Ruth Munroe. He offers condolences to the Munroe family and the families of the other souls who lost their lives as a result of this shocking plane crash,” the Andrew Young Foundation said in a statement.
