And you wanted help, all he wanted was sex.By doing what you did, you saved the lives of, and gave hope to, many victims of Ravi Zacharias. Yes, many of us, just looking at objective facts–his falsification of his credentials and vitae, the suicide email, the Image Repair in his public statement of his settlement with Lori Anne, and Julie Anne’s meticulous work on the Shirley Steward case–had already figured out that Ravi was very bad news. Ravi himself had convinced us that Lori Anne–and Shirley Steward–were telling the truth. His own personal statements gave him away.But if you hadn’t contacted Steve, that entire corrupt cabal that is RZIM would continue to live with a big evangelical platform, all while his victims carried the bag in silence with no one believing them.When the smoke clears, Ravi Zacharias may be known as the worst sexual predator in the history of Christianity. And if that is the case, he will have earned that. That’s on him.Because of what you did, his victims have received a great deal of vindication. And the Church knows the truth about Ravi Zacharias, a truth that is unavoidable, a truth that speaks much to the rot and corruption among an evangelical leadership cabal that loves money and prestige, much the way that the religious leaders of Jesus’ day did.We remember Ravi the way we remember Haman.Thank you, Lori Anne.Thank you, Shirley.Thank you, Vicki. The flags were waving for years about this dirty pig’s behaviour. Those who knew are equally complicit and now that their cash cow is dead, should pay the full price. A Christian owning a spa and getting massages from young women!Zacharias was no Christian just a wolf in sheep’s clothing; he even sought closer links with the Mormons! Fred Monninots,100%. As far as I am concerned Stumbo, etc. are all spawned of the same snakepit as RZ himself. Without a cataclysmic level of repentance they will face the same eternal fate and I’d be the liar if I said I’d be lacking in delight at that. Vicki, bless you for sharing your story which no doubt has helped many others. I feel saddened that you had to go through all this for so many years. Your horrific experience God is now using for good. Thanks for allowing yourself to be vulnerable in order to bring healing to the lives of others. You will be rewarded for this kind of sacrifice. You are welcome. And now….RZIM reimburses Vicki Blue for the years of therapy she had to pursue to get healing, right? Aaanndd….they pay for all therapy going forward, plus all else they need to pay her for.Right?!!! It is now 2023. RZIM, I am paid for no therapy of mine, past or future. You have great spiritual discernment Vicki Blue – “God is indeed cleaning up this entire mess” God’s peace and love upon all the victims of abuse. Vicki, while we don’t know each other, I must admit that my heart is bursting

RZIM’s Continuing Operations Lack Transparency Apparently, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries still exists three years after allegations rocked its operations. After Ravi Zacharias’ death in 2020 and the subsequent investigation into sexual abuse allegations against him, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) suspended fundraising and lost many of its speakers and leaders. Zacharias’ daughter Sarah (Davis) Phillips wrote in an email shared with MinistryWatch that RZIM planned to “transition to a grantmaking entity, much like a charitable foundation, which will support a variety of ministries, causes, and kingdom-building efforts. Specifically, we expect this new entity will make grants in two areas: furthering our original mission to preach the gospel through the questions of culture, and the prevention of and caring for victims of sexual abuse.”Phillips resigned from her role as CEO of RZIM in October 2021 with plans to start a new organization. Eventually named Lighten Group, the ministry lasted less than a year before it announced its closure.“[W]e believe God is leading us to prepare for shutting down the organization,” Lighten announced on Instagram. “This decision was not easy, but we seek to be good stewards of the time, money, and resources entrusted to us. Given our small team and the growing financial challenges that lie ahead, we believe this is the right decision and timing.”So is RZIM now a grantmaking ministry? What has happened to the assets entrusted to RZIM?MinistryWatch has looked into the continuing operations of RZIM and discovered it continues to exist, but with little transparency or accountability. RZIM still has a website, but no financial information or grant applications are posted there. It also has an operational phone system with a staff directory.According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s website, RZIM filed its annual registration with the corporations division in 2023 for 2023 and 2024.Peter Sorenson is listed as the RZIM registered agent and CEO. MinistryWatch attempted to reach Sorenson by phone and email multiple times to inquire about whether RZIM might be winding down its operations or continuing as a grantmaking ministry. We received no response.Access to MinistryWatch content is free. However, we hope you will

April 13, 2021 1:04 pm CDT 126 Comments Last May, Vicki Blue discovered through her husband that the famed apologist, Ravi Zacharias, had died.“I’m glad,” Blue recalls saying. “Now he can’t hurt anyone anymore.”Blue is one of several victims who spoke anonymously to Christianity Today (CT) for an article last fall exposing Zacharias’ sexual abuse and harassment of massage therapists at spas he co-owned. In an exclusive interview with The Roys Report, Blue for the first time revealed her identity for publication and shared her experience with Zacharias in detail in hopes of helping other abuse victims.Blue was not merely a massage therapist at one of Zacharias’ spas. She was co-owner with Zacharias and his friend, Anurag Sharma, of Zacharias’ first spa, Touch of Eden, from 2004—2007.According to Blue, Zacharias exploited his position as her spiritual mentor to sexually abuse both Blue and other therapists at the spa, including Blue’s daughter, Becca.Your tax-deductible gift helps our journalists report the truth and hold Christian leaders and organizations accountable.

She said when she left the spa in 2007, Zacharias threatened to “ruin” her and Becca if they ever told anyone about the abuse.“Ravi kept talking about an anonymous donor that he could get limitless money from,” Blue said. “He said, ‘I can keep it going and make your life miserable until you die.’”Blue said she also was emotionally fragile at the time. And several years later, when her daughter, Becca, died suddenly from virus in the heart, Blue said she attempted suicide twice.Yet after Zacharias’ death, Blue made a discovery that prompted her to break her silence. She learned that Zacharias had groomed and sexually exploited a Canadian woman, Lori Anne Thompson. And for Blue, that was the last straw.“I looked on the internet after my husband mentioned Ravi’s death,” Blue told me, explaining that she hadn’t followed news about Zacharias for 10 years. She then discovered raviwatch.com—the website of Steve Baughman, author of Cover-Up in the Kingdom—and read about the 2017 sexting scandal involving Thompson.Blue said after reading about Thompson, she “felt guilty for not crying out to the world about (Zacharias’) deviant appetite.” So, she emailed Baughman, who eventually connected Blue with a reporter. This led to CT’s article in September and an investigation by Miller & Martin, revealing the extent of Zacharias’ abuse, which spanned decades.“When the first (Miller & Martin) report came out, I cried for three days,” Blue told me. “I felt so bad. All those ladies and maybe girls. I figured there were hundreds.”Blue said she felt “totally broken” by the report. But she said she also saw God’s providence in bringing everything to light. She noted that the day before she found Steve Baughman’s website, she had prayed to God, asking Him
