“Together, their final journey embodied selflessness and courage, reminding us of the power of service and love,” the ministry added. “May we continue their legacy of generosity, compassion, and faith.” The statement concluded, “Rest in peace, Alexander and Serena—your light endures in all whose lives you changed.”
A week before the deadly crash, Wurm told the ministry’s social media followers that they had purchased the Beech B100. “Ignite is excited to fly generators, screws, tarps, battery packs, StarLink comm. systems [and other] desperately needed supplies to help rebuild Jamaica tomorrow!” Wurm said. “I’ve been a pilot since 2005 and I felt that the Ignite ministry should have a missions airplane if it wanted to effectively bless the Caribbean!”

“Through my friend, Joe Casey @flycasey who is renown aviator and trains Christian Missionary Pilots, we found an older King Air with brand new engines,” Wurm shared. “It’s a perfect missions aircraft. It can carry a lot and it is a very reliable aircraft. Perfect for the mission to bring relief goods into Montego Bay and the plane is ready just in time!”
