International apologist Ravi Zacharias dies at 74

Popular Christian evangelist and apologist Ravi Zacharias died May 19 at age 74, a few months af­ter being diagnosed with cancer.

Zacharias rose to prominence in 1983 when he was invited by Billy Graham to speak at the inaugural International Conference for Itinerant Evangelists in Amsterdam, according to an obituary published by the ministry Zacha­rias founded.

In his message, he pleaded with Chris­tians not to try to “humiliate” those with different worldviews.

“When you are trying to reach someone, please be sensitive to what he holds valuable,” he said.
