Thom Hickling, an offbeat evangelical who influenced the Christian community in Pittsburgh through his creation of Expression newspaper and the His Place television show, died yesterday in a car crash in Zambia.
Mr. Hickling, 51, was visiting his daughter, Holly, 23 who was doing mission work in a refugee camp in that African nation. Her leg was broken in the crash and she is to fly back to Pittsburgh tomorrow. His body is still in Zambia. Services will eventually be held in Pittsburgh and in Baltimore, where he had lived since 1997.
Mr. Hickling, his daughter, and another worker from the refugee camp were on a two-lane highway when they were struck head-on by another vehicle. The first news his family heard of it was when his former wife, Cathy, received a phone call from a passer-by who said he had found "a dead white man in a car registered to Holly Hickling." The U.S. State Department helped them confirm that the dead man was Mr. Hickling, and to locate Holly in a hospital, Cathy Hickling said.

My sympathies to the family. I enjoyed watching "His Place" for the many seasons that it ran on Cornerstone Television, our local Christian TV station.
There's a Pittsburgh Ping list that probably would be interested in this topic. Let me check for ya.
Would the Pittsburgh Ping List be interested in this topic? Thom Hickling was a well-known personality in local Pittsburgh Christian TV and media.

I am so sorry to hear of this. I remember him from the 'His Place' show. What is amazing is how far reaching Cornerstone TV is. For a small operation, on a hill in Wall, PA they trully broadcast worldwide. My sympathies to his family.
RIP, Thom.
