Popular televangelist and founder of World Changers Church International Creflo Dollar is expected to join the nation of Bahamas Wednesday in a national tribute to honor the lives of renowned pastor Myles Munroe and his wife, Ruth, who died in a fiery jet crash along with seven others in that country last month.
Dollar is among a number of notable gospel figures, including singer CeCe Winans, who is expected to pay tribute to the pastor in celebrations for the a state recognized funeral service for the couple on Thursday.
“Honored to be speaking at the home going service for Myles Munroe and pastor Ruth Munroe today in the Bahamas,” Dollar noted in a post on Instagram Wednesday.
A daylong schedule of activities is expected to unfold Wednesday, including the national memorial service that will take place at the 15,000-seat Thomas A. Robinson Stadium Oaks Field Sporting Complex in Nassau, Bahamas.
The remains of their bodies laid in state at the Bahamas Faith Ministries Diplomat Center where members of the Munroe family and senior government officials paid their respects in a private ceremony. The general public was allowed to start paying tribute and sign a book of condolence at noon. That session is expected to close at 5 p.m.
Churches around the world, such as the City of David Church in places like Nigeria, held services in honor of the couple.
Munroe and his wife perished in the jet crash on Nov. 9 with seven other members of their Bahamas Faith Ministries team who have all since been laid to rest in separate funerals over the last few weeks. They are: Richard Pinder, chief pilot Captain Stanley Thurston, first officer Frahkan Cooper, youth pastors Lavard and Radel Parks, their son, Johanan Parks, and their unborn child, as well as Diego Santiago.
Munroe and wife are survived by their children, Myles Munroe Jr. and his sister, Charissa, as well as extended family.
