Us Evangelist Ravi Zacharias Dies Aged 74 After Battling Cancer

The passing of US Evangelist Ravi Zacharias, who was 74 years old and had been battling cancer, has been announced. He was well-known for his advocacy of Christianity. He passed away in Atlanta. Zacharias is survived by his wife, Margie, daughters Sarah and Naomi, son, Nathan, and five grandchildren.

Before his passing, Zacharias was recognized as a prominent figure in Christian apologetics, and received the Gold Medallion Book Award for his work, ”Can Man Live Without God?” In 1984, he established Zacharias International Ministries, which has since brought together a global team of nearly 100 Christian scholars and authors who engage with millions of believers and non-believers worldwide. Originally from Chennai, India, Zacharias revealed that he was an atheist until the age of 17. His encounter with the Bible after a suicide attempt led him to embrace Christianity and embark on a missionary journey that took him to Canada and subsequently the United States.

In a statement, Michael Ramsden, President of Zacharias International Ministries, highlighted Zacharias’ compassionate approach towards addressing the questions and objections of others. He emphasized Zacharias’ dedication to sharing the love and kindness he found in Jesus Christ with everyone he encountered.

US Vice President Mike Pence expressed his condolences on Twitter, referring to Zacharias as a great man and a prince who will be missed. He extended his deepest sympathies to Zacharias’ family and quoted “Well done good and faithful servant”.
