Ravi Zacharias, an apologist, author, husband, and father of three, passed away this morning. Zacharias suffered from sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, which was deemed no longer treatable just last week by his physicians.
“This morning, our beloved founder and apologist @RaviZacharias went home to be with Jesus,” a post on RZIM’s Twitter account reads.
Zacharias’s daughter, Sarah Davis, the CEO of the ministry her father started (RZIM), announced last week that her father was returning home to Atlanta, Georgia, to finish out whatever time he might have left with his family. Zacharias had traveled to Houston, Texas, to seek treatment for the cancer he only recently found out he had. In March of this year, Zacharias found out he had cancer after undergoing an emergency surgery on his back.
The whole ordeal—from the emergency surgery to the cancer diagnosis to his death—transpired in a matter of about three months.
