May. 19, 2020

SACRAMENTO — Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, releases the following statement in memory of Ravi Zacharias, the famed Christian apologist who died Tuesday morning after battling cancer:

“Ravi Zacharias was a teacher of truth, a preacher of hope, a builder of wisdom, an equipper of faith, a disciple of grace, a follower of Christ, a friend of God and a true world changer. He advanced the gospel of Jesus like few others. Ravi inspired me. Despite beyond extraordinarily blessed intellectually, his intellect matched his heart, and he was always humble.
“I will miss you my friend.
“Thank you for changing me.
“Thank you for changing the world.”

Rev. Dr. Samuel Rodriguez is president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, executive producer of “Breakthrough” with 20th Century Fox and bestselling author of “You Are Next: Destroy What Has Paralyzed You and Never Miss Your Moment Again” (Charisma House Publishing).
