Myles Munroe, an internationally known minister and motivational preacher, died in a plane crash Sunday in the Bahamas, according to news reports.
His wife Ruth and several other people were killed along with him when a Learjet 36 crashed while making an approach at Grand Bahama International Airport.
Myles Munroe was a prominent Christian preacher who frequently appeared before massive audiences at Christian events with other widely known ministers.
He was the head of the Bahamas Faith Ministries, and wrote or co-wrote more than 100 motivational books focused on strengthening the role of men in Christian life.
The plane was heading to Freeport for the Global Leadership Forum, a gathering organized by Munroe’s ministry, which was scheduled to run through Thursday.
The ministry said the conference would go on, albeit in a shortened form, despite the tragedy because “this is what Dr. Munroe would have wanted.”
