BAHAMAS Faith Ministries will celebrate one of its founding fathers, the late Dr Richard Pinder III, tomorrow when the roadway leading into the BFM property will be officially named in his honour. The event, which will conclude the 2015 International Kingdom Training Summit, is scheduled to begin at 2pm and will take place at the entrance of the driveway.

Scores of international and local pastors, members of Bahamas Faith Ministries Fellowship, members of the International Third World Leadership Association (ITWLA) as well as the general public are expected to join the Pinder family for this official commissioning ceremony.

Dr Pinder was among the nine individuals who were killed in the plane crash in Freeport, Grand Bahama on November 9, 2014. He served as senior vice president of Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI) and fellowship pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries Fellowship (BFMF). He was also the founding trustee of the International Third World Leaders Association (ITWLA) and served in several roles throughout his years in ministry, including youth minister, deacon, assistant pastor, treasurer, church secretary, Sunday school teacher and administrator.

Dr Pinder was also a trained specialist in the field of human resources development and an international speaker and author of several books, including “Mobilising Human Resources”, “Redeemed and Justified”, “Understanding the Process of Purpose”, “Work Your Signature” and “The Leadership Series”.

Several local and international ministers will participate in the service, including Dr Pepe Ramnath, senior pastor of the Miramar Kingdom Community Centre in Florida; Dr Richard Demeritte chairman of ITWLA; Pastor Jay Mullings and Pastor Henry Francis, BFM co-founders, and the new the senior pastor of BFMI, Dr David Burrows.
