The world is still coming to terms with the perturbing news of the death of internationally renowned preacher and transformational leader, Dr Myles Monroe and his wife Ruth Munroe in a plane crash in Bahamas yesterday.

Reports indicate that Myles Munroe and his wife Ruth were among nine people who were killed in a plane crash after the private jet in which they were traveling hit a construction crane while making a landing approach to the Grand Bahama International airport, where it exploded and crashed.

That’s how I wanna die because there is nothing else to keep me alive, I’ve done was I was born to do, this to me is the greatest gift to humanity”, he told the show’s host, Jeff Koinange.
