Valin Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Washington Examiner Anthony Leonardi May 19, 2020 Ravi Zacharias, renowned Christian evangelist, scholar, and author, has died at age 74. Zacharias died of sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, in his Atlanta home on Tuesday, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries confirmed in an obituary. The Indian-born Canadian American Christian apologist was born in 1946 and later immigrated from India to Canada before moving to the United States to begin studying theology. He launched his ministry when he was 37 years old in 1984, one year after hearing renowned evangelist Billy Graham preach at the inaugural International Conference for Itinerant Evangelists in Amsterdam. Prior to starting his ministry, Zacharias's journey in the Christian faith began at age 17 after attempting suicide. While recovering in a New Delhi hospital, he was read words from the Book of Matthew, in which Jesus said, "Because I live, you will also live." He claimed hearing those words inspired him to convert to Christianity. Over the years, Zacharias communicated the Christian faith through a radio show called Let My People Think, which has reached 2,000 stations and 32 countries.
