Thank you, Ravi Zacharias

Here is a tribute by Mr Desmond Teo, an EAST staff, of the late Dr Ravi Zacharias who went to be with the Lord on 19 May 2020. The tribute begins with…

The year was 2005, and I had recently joined Singapore Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru Singapore) as a campus ministry staff. I was in Bali attending an apologetics conference for youths with a couple of other fellow staff workers.

A few months before that, I had overheard them talking about it and became very intrigued. What in the world was apologetics?

Fast forward, and I found myself seated with them in a big hall, listening for several days to speakers such as Stuart McAllister, Michael Ramsden, L T Jeyachandran, I-Ching Thomas, and of course Ravi Zacharias. Little did I know the life-changing impact this conference, and the ministry of Ravi Zacharias in the days to come, will have upon my life and ministry.

In Memoriam: Rev Billy Graham, 1918–2018

In loving memory of evangelist Rev Billy Graham, 1918–2018.

 

Hear him preach at the 1978 Billy Graham Crusade in Singapore. According to the National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCSS), some 337,000 Singaporeans and others from nearby countries, heard him preach over five nights at the former 55,000-seat National Stadium, and 19,631 people came forward for counselling. [1]

God also used him to revive churches in Singapore and to raise many of the present church and ministry leadership. Read about a current Grace Baptist Church elder who came to know Christ through the Crusade. Rev Naomi Dowdy, the senior pastor of Trinity Christian Centre from 1976 to 2005, said: “The impact Dr Graham left among the church of Singapore at that time showed us that unity among the various Christian denominations was possible and still carries on today in our nation.” [2]
