A recent
article in Christianity Today by Daniel Silliman was titled: RZIM
Will No Longer Do Apologetics. A portion of the article read as
follows:
CEO Sarah Davis announced to staff Wednesday morning that
over the next six months, the downsized ministry will remake itself as a
grant-making charity. It plans to give money to organizations fulfilling its
original purpose of defending the truth of the gospel as well as organizations
that care for victims of sexual abuse.
Obviously, it is a huge announcement when an organization stops doing what it does.
RZIM has
published the following: Open Letter from the International Board of
Directors of RZIM on the Investigation of Ravi Zacharias at the
following link:

The following
is an excerpt from the aforementioned.
The findings of this investigation and their public release will be devastating to Ravi’s wife, son, and daughters, and to his entire family. Our hearts are broken for them, and we grieve with the weight of being part of this unimaginable pain. We pray for the Zacharias family and mourn with them in this time of severe loss. It is our hope that they will receive the healing and restoration that God alone can provide.
To close, in
case you didn't know, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news to anyone who has
supported RZIM in the past. I don't judge, but I do send prayers for the victims,
as well as the perpetrator and his family. Blessings!
