Last night news broke that Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife Ruth were among nine passengers who died in a plane crash as their flight headed into the Grand Bahama Airport. Munroe, the founder of the Bahamas Faith Ministries and Myles Munroe International, was a world-renown speaker, preacher, and the author of 69 books. His books covered topics from spiritual growth and personal development to nurturing romantic relationships and strengthening leadership. Munroe’s ministry touched many in ways that won’t soon be forgotten and a search through some of his work proves that he was a man who practiced what he preached in living a purposeful life. Already, many preachers and ministry leaders have taken to social media to share how much Munroe’s ministry meant to them.
There are few biblical clinicians who’s view of ministry wasn’t enriched in some way by @mylesmunroe… http://t.co/cnwFoCZUsx

RIP Dr. Myles Munroe, and wife Ruth. Your spirit was contagious. — Dave Ramsey (@DaveRamsey) November 10, 2014
Dr. Munroe left us with 2 PRESSING questions: 1) OLDER generation-will you PASS the baton? 2) YOUNGER Generation-Can you HANDLE the baton?

We here at UrbanFaith.com and Urban Ministries, Inc extend our condolences to the Munroe family, friends, and ministry partners. Yet we are thankful that Dr. Munroe will live on through his work. One of the most significant ways Munroe will live on is through the books he wrote and co-authored. We gathered just a few of his encouraging words on spiritual growth, character development, and relationships to celebrate his life and work.
“You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.” Understanding Your Potential
“People generally fall into one of three groups: the few who make things happen, the many who watch things happen, and the overwhelming majority who have no notion of what happens. Every person is either a creator of fact or a creature of circumstance. He either puts color into his environment, or, like a chameleon, takes color from his environment.” Understanding Your Potential
“God’s love sets us free from the need to seek approval. Knowing that we are loved by God, accepted by God, approved by God, and that we are new creations in Christ empowers us to reject self-rejection and embrace a healthy self-love. Being secure in God’s love for us, our love for Him, and our love for ourselves, prepares us to fulfill the second greatest commandment: To love our neighbor as ourselves.” The Purpose and Power of Love & Marriage
“Marriage is two imperfect people committing themselves to a perfect institution, by making perfect vows from imperfect lips before a perfect God.” The Purpose and Power of Love & Marriage
“Communication is the ability to ensure that people understand not only what you say but also what you mean. It is also the ability to listen to and understand others. Developing both of these aspects of communication takes a lot of time, patience, and hard work.” The Purpose and Power of Love & Marriage
“Purpose is when you know and understand what you were born to accomplish. Vision is when you see it in your mind and begin to imagine it”
“Being open to correction means making ourselves vulnerable, and many people are not willing to do that.” Waiting and Dating
“Solid character will reflect itself in consistent behavior, while poor character will seek to hide behind deceptive words and actions.” Waiting and Dating
“Friendship is not a gift, but is the result of hard work.” Waiting and Dating
“The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.”
Do you have a favorite Myles Munroe quote from one of his books or a moment when you heard him speak? Share them in the comments section. Please also keep Dr. Myles and Ruth Munroe’s families in your prayers as well as all of their friends and those connected to Bahamas Faith Ministries and Myles Munroe International.
Dr Munroe blessed me by revealing the secrets of the Kingdom. By reason of his interlict, his refusal to compromise his understanding of the word of GOD I was able to gleane the knowledge of the KINGDOM. I came to understand that GOD offered the children of Israel citizenship in his Kingdom which they rejected and created Judaism, Citizenship or religion. Have we made the same mistake. What is the nature of a good King?..A Good Father! Have you ever seen a good Father let his children go hungry, begging for bread? I hear a lot of people say ” it’s not about religion” if that’s true then why Judaism or Christianty? Why not CITIZENSHIP!. I will miss Dr Munroe for the rest of my life, but I will not let his influence on my life be in vain. As ridiculous as it sounds I keep hoping that they will say they found him wounded but yet alive. CAPTIAN my CAPTIAN………
thanks for such inspirational quotes….I can truly say out of the brunch that it really inspire me to look beyond life itself and in a different perspective…everyone has a spectacular purpose here on earth and a work place to fulfill…god himself grant us life and everyone has an expiration date…tomorrow isn’t promised to ANYONE so NOW is the time to do what is right and do the work which was assigned to us here on earth. I NEVER knew such a GREAT man with such LEGACY, DR MYLES MUNROE, a teacher, a leader, a provider, world-renown speaker, preacher and an author with such inspirational thoughts had such an impact on ones life….His tremendous work are worldwide, he will truly be missed and one can truly say because of DR MYLES MUNROE I succeeded….
Your thoughts are so close to mine…Dr. Myles and Ruth Munroe found, but they’re at home now forever to be with the Lord Jesus Christ for whom they purposely, purposed to fulfill His purpose. Home.
Dr. Munroe ( purpose personified) as I have and will ever refer him blessed my life and transformed my mentality about the kingdom principles. Yes he’s gone but forgotten.. R.I.P GREAT MAN OF VALOUR

Jesus Mercy on those who died. I read Dr. Munroe was anti-Catholic, I hope this isn’t true.
Remember for the time ahead for very “soon” says Heaven, God is going to show the entire world ~personally~ the Faith (Eph 4:5) is Roman Catholicism.
No fake, only God can show you every moment of your life, similar to the testimony of NDEs.
God’s great act of love and mercy on the “that great day” of Revelation 6:17, the day of the Lord. All Christians agree on this, “that they all be one” in belief as Jesus prayed Give your “yes” when God shows you.
Dr myle munroe was a great man. He was d man dat tot me to c. His work in christiandom wil 4eva remain
“Not every crisis is from the devil or the enemy, there is a God created crisis and if you are in that crisis don’t waste your time praying out of it,in due time when He has worked His purpose in you through that crisis he will take you out.~So understand your crisis.!”
Keep doing the good job, God bless you
Myles Monroe has always said ” The goal of life for every human being is to die empty…” I strongly believe He achieved everything God wanted Him to achieve
Dr Myles Munroe, you lived a glorious and a fulfilled life, worthy of emulation: with your gift, motivation and inspiration, you will continue to influence the World for Jesus Christ even after you have gone. Adieu gallant soldier.
You were my mentor, I hav no reasons to doubt your credibility as a Kingdom man. You indeed finish what God asked u. The Kingdom Business. The only Kingdom where the citizens are served by the King. I know u are a citizen now. You inspire me when ever i listen to your message. R.I.P Dr. Munroe..
“The greatest tragedy is to be alive and don’t know why’
Life without purpose has no meaning
Leave the world better than you leave it
If you don’t know your purpose abuse is inevitable
It’s not how long you live; but how much life you impacted
When you are finish; you are free to go; having poured out yourself die empty
The richest place is the grave yard who have captured talents of many who never discovered their purpose and the reason why they were given life by the Creator.
I am sadden but yet comforted by the fact that we can continue the legacy of this General, this Kingdom Ambassador. We can now maximize our purpose and find out position in the world
I am glad to have been shepherd and fathered/mentored by this Father of the faith.
R.I.P
it is well with the rightous.
Never didnt know you lived for people like us but through a friend; GASU i found you here but no more. Have a blessed sleep Myles and all. Goodnight!!!!
My favorite quote from Dr. Myles Munroe:
“If you do not understand the purpose of a thing, you will inevitably abuse it. Abuse means to abnormally use something.”
RIP Dr. Munroe, Ruth, and others.

Dr.Myles Munroe thought and practised whatever he thought ..i hope other leaders will emulate him because he died empty…through his books he mentored me…
“Unless a corn of wheat fall to the ground and die its abidethl alone , but if it die, it bringeth much fruit.” I am f*** ever greatful Myles Munroe past our way, His words and teaching will impact my life in a greater way.
Dr. Myles Munroe pour out himself for his world. Like he said ” Make people greater yourself and u will live forever bcos they will call your name everyday” . The man of God stil live in his works

Dr Myles Monroe has had a profound and eternal effect upon the lives of Barbara and I. We had the honor and privilege to sit at his feet, just weeks ago, and it was , to us, as if we were sitting at the feet of the Apostle Paul, as he shared the wonderful truths of the Kingdom of God and the Majesty of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
RIP Myles and Ruth apart coming you abundantly lived in kenya through the media and books which transformed multitude,we are sadden but will continue living purposeful,

Your Rooms were ready, He said I will go and prepare a place for you, I hope it’s everything, observing from the spiritual view…I know it’s awesome….

No doubt abt it the whole world misses and mourn u.I wish its all a dream…RIP my mentor, I LOVE YOU SOOoooooo MUCH
He touched lives,he lived a purposeful life…Short but Meaningful life…i still cant believe you are gone..RIP
you’re the greatest treasure God gave to my generation. and I thank God I met you not in person but through your books. may the Lord grant you the safest rest… I’m proud to be part of your followers. God keep you safe
my deepest and sincere condolence goes to the bahamas faith ministris international world wide,gone but not forgetten,your teachings and ministrations still lingers in our heart each passing day.sleep on beloved,sleep on and take your rest..from sierra leone,the body of christ here misses you sir.we love you,but God loves you the more.so he has taken you to his bosom.
It was with shock that I put down these few lines. I’m still wondering why this great man should end up in this tragic manner at this time when the church needs more of his impactful teachings. You practised what You preached. Your books taught me so much about principles, vision, potentials and leadership. You were so great while on earth, Your legacy lives on! Till we meet at the feet of Jesus, keep resting in peace.
First, to the family members of all who transitioned to be with the Lord of Hosts on 11-9-14 along with Dr. Myles & Mrs. Ruth Munroe I send my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers for the Holy Spirit to comfort you all. He is our Comforter, lean heavenly on Him. I believe all the lives who were touched by Dr. Myles Munroe’s ministry are heavy as mine at his passing the baton so soon, but yet we see the light and founded wisdom from his work. We must carry it on in Jesus name. Dr. Myles teachings saved my child’s life and my marriage for which I am very grateful. Second, I cannot help but wonder if this was planned by those who opposed his teaching and belief. Just think, 3 of the most important leaders of BFM were taken all at once; the day was 11-9, 911 backwards! Think about it. God bless you all.
It is unfortunate that Dr and Mrs Munroe had to die now. We give God the glory the one who knows the best for His children. My sincere condolences to the families of all the lost loved ones in the crash.
It is with heavy heart that I make this comment. I am happy that Dr Munroe told us what purpose in life is and not necessarily how long one lived. it is good however that Dr Munroe will continue to live on.
May they rest in perfect peace.

The richest place on earth is not the Gold mines or the banks but the grave yard with people who died full of potential and unfulfilled dreams
One of my famous quote by Dr. Miles Monroe was ‘I would rather die empty than die old’

Dr Myles Munroe, Question : which is the richest place in the world ? Answer : In the Graves.
That was Munroe’s Quote. Meaning most people died before they perform what God has ordained them to do while they were still alive.
