NAIROBI: American televangelist Dr
Myles Munroe who was in Kenya for a
series of talks about three weeks ago
has died alongside nine other people
including his wife and daughter in the
Bahamas.
According to the Bahamas Tribune, his
plane crashed while trying to land at
the Grand Bahamas International
Airport in Freeport on his way to the
Global Leadership forum that was
planned for November 10 to 13 at
Freeport, Grand Bahama.
According to the Bahamas Faith
Ministries, an organization Munroe
founded, the event could go on as Dr
Munroe would have wanted.
Among his last media interviews was
the one he gave at KTNs JKL Show
where he spoke about how we will love
to die on October 24.
I want to challenge every Kenyan to
go to the cemetery and disappoint the
graveyard. Die like the Apostle Paul
who said I have finished my course, I
have kept the faith and I have been
poured out like a drink offering. There
is nothing left. I am ready to die. Thats
how I wanna die because there is
nothing else for me left to die, he told
the shows host, Jeff Koinange.
When you die, die like I am planning
to die. Empty. Its finished, He added
in the show.

Rose from an F student to own a jet
Dr Munroe who was born in the
Bahama as the sixth born in a family of
11 lived in a wooden house with four
big rocks holding up the house above
the ground rose from such a poor
background to own a private jet.
His home was in the poorest village at a
small island where people were so
poor that they even didnt know that
they were poor.
Our mother spread a mat on the floor
for us to sleep. Roaches and rats ran
over our bodies as we slept, he said
during the interview.
At the age of 13, he started to question
his life. I was born in an island with 96
per cent of the people black. But all the
powers and the economy was the in
the hands of white people who only
formed four percent.
