Yes Rita, I felt the same when Chuck Missler died about two years back. So final for us...but they both are starting their awesome TRUE life! I will miss both of them and their teachings, debates and such.

So did you actually know him, or was he a popular teaching you watched, or heard through media?

He was born in India.

I am a Ravi Zacharias supporter. In going through the mail they said nothing about failing health. I will miss his ministry and keep them in prayer.

They found malignant tumor on his sacrum while doing back surgery, and it was eventually found to be un-treatable. :(

Do you remember, @Jane_Doe22 , when he spoke at The Mormon Tabernacle?
Very much so. He got a stand ovation and was welcomed back.
If logistics would have permitted, I would have been one of those people giving the standing ovation (as it was, I gave my cheering in another state after watching the video).

Isn't he just so full of grace? Not an arrogant bone in his body far as I could see. I really enjoyed his teachings and his kindness.

I am heavy hearted as one of my favorite teachers passed away yesterday. I Know his soul is well and at home with The Father. I will miss him.
I was shocked to read about this yesterday. Sad for us, but wonderful for him! Let’s keep his loved ones in our prayers.

Ravi has been such an important part of our family. My wife was good friends with two of his sisters when they worked together in Toronto waaay back in the mid 1960s. His cousin was pastor of the church my son attended; and just a couple weeks before the bad new was announced, my son gave me one of Ravi's books, "Jesus Among Other Gods", 2000.

It has always a delight to listen to his teachings.

Ohhh.... God has changed his address. He fought the good fight of faith. He has finished the race.
Blessings and honour, glory and power, be unto the Ancient of days. xox
