Founder and Presiding Bishop of one of the world’s fastest growing churches, Dr. David Oyedepo penned a moving tribute to the late Dr. Myles Munroe who died along with his wife, Ruth in a plane crash that took 9 lives in the Bahamas last week. Media reports early after the tragedy said that their daughter, Charisa Munroe died in the crash too. But, it appears that is not true as his only son, Myles Munroe Jr. gave a video statement following the tragedy and his sister was standing beside him.
In the tribute published on his ministry’s website, Oyedepo referred to Munroe as his twin brother and made it known that their friendship was 24 years long. He extolled the life of Munroe and said he had gone home to glory.
It is so moving. You can read it tribute after the slideshow:
Read his tribute below:
Myles and I called ourselves ‘twin brothers’
Myles, my twin brother is gone up to glory
Ruth, his partner in life and death has gone to eternal rest
Faith and I miss you both!
Our moments together on this side of the Jordan were most memorable.
We stayed together on several occasions under the same roof
We lodged in same hotels time and again; we shared the platform together preaching the good news of the Kingdom over the years.
Our friendship of over 24 years was a most enriching and adventurous one,
Our partnership in ministry was also a most profitable and rejuvenating one.
Myles, my twin brother
A bundle of inspiration
A man of spiritual depth and insight
A leader of leaders and teacher of teachers
Ruth, a bundle of joy and divine radiance
Your smiles were ever contagious,
You exhumed gentleness, love and care like a fountain
You were indeed a priceless jewel!
The two of you were swifter than eagles
You literally traversed the globe
As you taught nations the principles of the Kingdom
You were both as strong as the unicorn,
Energetic, untiring, never relenting, purposeful and focused
I could still remember, Myles and I took all the inaugural induction lectures for the pioneer Faculty and Staff of Covenant University in August 2002.
All of Myles’ meetings on our church platform were ever inspiring and impactful.
The Living Faith Church Worldwide really misses you!
Good night Myles, my twin brother!
Good night Ruth, his partner in life and in death
