News has reached us that world-renowned apologist, Ravi Zacharias went on to be with the Lord today (Tuesday, May 19th), at his Atlanta home after a brief battle with cancer
Confirming the news, his daughter, Sarah Davis who is also the CEO of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries put out a statement on the organisation’s website and on social media site, Facebook.
She stated: “It was his Savior, Jesus Christ, that my dad always wanted most to talk about. Even in his final days, until he lacked the energy and breath to speak, he turned every conversation to Jesus and what the Lord had done”
“Today my beautiful father is more alive than he has ever been. We thank God for him and recommit our lives to sharing this truth with all who will hear until He calls us to our eternal home,” Davis added
Zacharias was born on March 26, 1946, in Madras, India. His family moved to Delhi when he was quite young and he grew up there.
In 1966, he immigrated with his family to Canada, earning his undergraduate degree from the Ontario Bible College in 1972 (now Tyndale University) and his M.Div. from Trinity International University
Zacharias is survived by his wife of 48 years, Margie; daughters, Sarah and Naomi; son, Nathan; and five grandchildren
Plans for a memorial service, which may be live-streamed, are still being discussed
