Dr Myles Munroe
Dr Myles Munroe is survived by his two children, his son Myles “Chairo” Jr Munroe and his daughter, Charisa Munroe.
Born and raised in New Providence in 1954, he received a degree in fine arts, education and theology from Oral Robert University in 1978, a Master’s degree in administration from the University of Tulsa in 1980 and has been awarded numerous honorary doctoral degrees.
He has also served as an adjunct professor of the Graduate School of Theology at Oral Roberts University.
According to his biography on Bahamas Faith Ministries (BFM), he served as a business consultant to governments, Fortune 500 companies and corporations where he addressed critical issues “affecting every aspect of human development”.
In 1998, he became the Bahamas’ youngest ever recipient of the Queen’s Birthday Honours of the Order of The British Empire (OBE) Award which he received from Queen Elizabeth of England.
He was the author or co-author of more than 100 books, study guides and audio tapes and has contributed to various Bible editions, journals, magazines and newsletters.
Dr Munroe frequently appeared at Christian events before mass audiences where he emphasised the Kingdom of God and his belief that the whole Bible revolved around that kingdom. He appeared alongside some of the most prominent preachers in the evangelical community, including Bishop TD Jakes, Bishop Eddie Long and Pastor Benny Hinn.

Sad to say but I don't know that much about Dr Munroe other than he called himself a Christian, he had an enormous worldwide following and he was obviously very intelligent. I wondered earlier whether he achieved his purpose, because truly only God knows ultimately what he put each of us here to do. I know without a doubt that his impact was enormous. But success isn't the best measure, criminals can be successful. The only other measure I had for him was in terms of our country's development, I think I can say unequivocally, if every young Bahamian male grew up to be like Myles Munroe, we would be in an exceedingly good place, we cannot make that same claim for quite a number of well known "successful" Bahamians. Maybe in each of our purposes is a mandate to leave a stamp of ourselves "for good" that someone can follow. I know he achieved that. He was a leader and a visionary in a time when we can't find leaders and our position holders are without vision. Whether you share his religious beliefs or not, this is a great loss for the country.

It pains me to even write this in the past tense but Dr. Munroe was indeed a highly respected leader, and a gifted orator and from all accounts, a very humble Man of God. I deeply admired him and I will miss his voice on national matters in The Bahamas.

Dr. Miles Munroe "served as a business consultant to governments, Fortune 500 companies and corporations where he addressed critical issues “affecting every aspect of human development”.
The annals of history will show that the PLP & FNM were so entrenched in tribalism and corruption they both ignored and failed to benefit from Dr. Munroes' proven talents......To the detriment of our country and people.
