Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife Ruth Ann will be laid to rest on December 4 following a service of thanksgiving at Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI), Pastor Dave Burrows revealed yesterday.
A service will be held for BFMI Senior Vice-President Dr. Richard Pinder at BFMI on December 2.
Burrows said the life and contributions of Munroe and his wife will be celebrated during a memorial service of thanksgiving and praise on December 3 at an unspecified location.
Burrows said Munroe's funeral will be by invitation only due to the large number of people who have expressed interest in attending. The service will also be streamed live across the globe.
There is also consideration for Munroe to have a state-recognized funeral, Burrows said.
He added that officials

are "speaking to the relevant authorities and we should have additional information shortly".
Munroe and eight others were killed in a plane crash in Freeport, Grand Bahama, on Sunday.
Along with the Munroes and Pinder, Youth Pastors Lavard and Radel Parks and their son, Johannan; pilots Stanley Thurston and Frahkan Cooper and Diego De Santiago were onboard the deadly flight.
The group was traveling to Grand Bahama for the Global Leadership Forum, which Munroe was scheduled to host.
An eyewitness said the plane was flying low over the Grand Bahama Shipyard when it hit a crane and exploded on impact.
The eyewitness said the plane then crashed into the junkyard area.
Burrows said the family at BFMI is doing its best to overcome the loss.
"Church members have said to me, 'Pastor Dave, we're ready. We are ready to proceed with the vision'," he said during a press conference at BFMI.
"We lost a visionary, but we didn't lose the vision. We lost our leaders, but we haven't lost our leadership potential.
"We lost our mentors, but we haven't lost our mandate. So, as a church body, what I have received to this point is total support and resolve to continue and to ensure that the legacy, the work and the message of Dr. Myles Munroe live on and continue to impact the world for generations to come."
Burrows said officials at BFMI have been "flooded with calls and well wishes" from all over the world.
"We have entertainers from Hollywood, from the gospel arena, movie producers, presidents of countries, heads of states, prime ministers, singers, actors, dignitaries, [who have] all expressed their condolences and many have indicated a desire to attend the celebrations," he said.
Sunday will mark the first service at BFMI since Munroe's death.
Burrows said officials plan to honor Munroe's memory and begin anew under the theme, "Carrying on the vision: Preserving the legacy".
"This Sunday, we are going to outline for the church where we go from here," he said.
He continued, "It is going to be a very special service for us because it will be a new beginning.
"But we begin with our family, friends and church members. We are ready and resolved to move ahead."
Burrows, chairman of the board of directors at BFMI, also said the group intends to recommend to the government that Carmichael Road be renamed Myles Munroe Highway.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced for the other crash victims.
