Myles-Munroe

Close advisers of the prominent preacher and evangelist from the Bahamas, Dr. Myles Munroe, has said his ministry will continue despite the death of the founder in a small plane crash on Sunday. Fox News reports:

Munroe — a well-known pastor, motivational speaker and evangelist — was one of nine aboard the Lear 36 Executive Jet when it went down as it attempted to land in Freeport Sunday evening, officials said. All those aboard were killed.

Police and fire authorities are on scene and a full investigation is ongoing Monday. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined though there had been heavy rain across the region. Grand Bahama is about 70 miles east of Florida.

The crash occurred as Munroe and others were gathering in Grand Bahama for the 2014 Global Leadership Forum. On the Facebook page of Munroe’s ministry, a message stated that the forum will go on as scheduled.

“We would like to inform you that the Global Leadership Forum will continue,” read the post. “This is what Dr. Munroe would have wanted. Please keep his family and the ministry in prayers.”

The plane had taken off from the Bahamian capital of Nassau and crashed while attempting to land around 5 p.m. local time in Freeport, according to a statement from the Ministry of Transport and Aviation.
