Words cannot express our profound
sense of loss for all of the team members on this tragic flight. Dr. Munroe was
our visionary, our founder, our mentor, advisor, father figure and friend. He
was a global leader and icon and was respected worldwide. His wife Ruth was a
faithful companion and constant support for Dr. Munroe and was equally
beloved.
Dr. Richard Pinder was the
embodiment of a true Pastor who loved people, was faithful in service and gave
his best to all. Pastor Rich as he was affectionally called was truly the glue
that kept our ministry together. His warm smile and personal pastoral care was
truly a comfort and a blessing to so many of our members throughout the years
of our church.
Pastors Lavard & Radel Parks
were recently installed as Youth Pastors of the Youth Ministry having both
being officially ordained and installed as the church’s second full time Youth
Pastors on Easter Sunday April 20th 2014. Both were products of both Dr. Munroe
and Dr. Pinders’ leadership and were personally mentored by Dr.Dave &
Pastor Angie Burrows.
Our pilots included Senior
Officer Stanley Thurston who was an experienced pilot and served for many years
as Pastor Myles’s personal pilot. Also on board was Co-Pilot Frakhan Cooper who
was also a faithful member of our aviation team. Both gave excellent
service.
Dr. Munroe taught us to have
faith and to pursue purpose and advance the Kingdom Principles of Jesus Christ
here on earth. He also taught us to be leaders. As a Church body and
organization we will move forward as Dr. Munroe would have wanted us to. We
recognize that there will be challenges but we have full confidence that God
will see us through and we intend to make our founding leaders proud.
We ask for your continued prayers
and support. We will issue further details on plans for home going services and
other matters relating to the future of Bahamas Faith Ministries in due course.
