The faith community is grieving the tragic loss of Evangelist Alexander Wurm (53) and his daughter Serena Wurm (22), who sadly perished in a plane accident on the morning of November 10, 2025, while engaged in a humanitarian mission in Jamaica.
Alexander, affectionately called Alex, established Ignite the Fire Ministry, an organization focused on empowering youth throughout the Caribbean via missions, leadership, and evangelism. Over the course of his extensive ministry career, he traveled to many countries, sharing the messages of faith, compassion, and hope.
“He wasn’t only a man of prayer—he embodied it,” remarked a close friend. “He selflessly offered himself, always willing to listen, teach, and uplift those in his presence.”
Inspired by her father’s example, Serena was deeply engaged in humanitarian initiatives and programs aimed at youth outreach. Her warmth and lively spirit made her a beacon of light and support for many. Together, they exemplified a legacy of courage and selflessness that influenced countless individuals.
