Ravi Zacharias was best known for the apologetics ministry that bears his name, but he spent his 46-year career licensed as a national evangelist with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA). The denomination has now revoked the ordination of its highest-profile minister after its own limited investigation confirmed a “pattern of predatory behavior.”
The decision was announced to all CMA ministers in a February 12 email from vice president Terry Smith, sent the day after Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM)—which is not affiliated with the denomination or any CMA church—released the findings of its independent investigation.
“Part of sin is deceit. So is it possible for someone to cover up sin? Obviously it is,” Smith said. “But I can tell you when we do discover it, and clearly discover it, we don’t look to find a rug to sweep things under.”

Every sinner needs the savior.
As with any who have followed this story the results of the investigations have been beyond disappointing ....I’ve read both reports and to learn not only about his sin but that over a period of years Ravi hid and sustained his behavior through manipulation, deception, threats and corruption even unto his death.
This is beyond sad as his world ministries break apart.

Here is the report.. of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) Regarding this.

To bad he didn’t subscribe to the Pence rule of never being alone with a woman other than his wife.
““So much is uncertain about the future, but what we do know is that we serve [a] God who is infinitely more concerned...”
“a God”? Hardly. Fixed it to be “God”!
Sounds like there’s an afterlife at the CMA for Gov Cuomo when he is kicked out of NY.
My ex was a worship pastor for a CMA church. He would lead music and leave church to go screw his side chick. I told the senior pastors wife and it want nowhere.
I guess it depends on the size of the audience if anything is done, or not.
He did....the exception of course were those attending his back pain.
We live in a society where sex scandals are a daily diet. The church family is not exempt, nor is any place else. The enemy of God knows what will break up families, ruin reputations, and take down good men.
It was a significant church for our family for several years.

This is just a way to try to discredit RZ after his death.
Actually you’re mistaken to think that this was intended just to discredit him. When you do your own research you cannot deny Ravi lived a double life and one which he was careful to conceal for many years. It’s very sad and disappointing.
