The service is set to begin at 11 a.m. EDT, with a special retrospective of his global influence beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT.
Upon news of his death, Pence tweeted: “Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ravi Zacharias, a Christian apologist whose ministry for the gospel of Jesus Christ impacted millions around the world. Ravi was a man of faith who could ‘rightly handle the word of truth’ like few others in our time & he was my friend.”
The vice president visited the Zacharias family at RZIM's headquarters in Alpharetta on May 22 as the two were longtime friends. Zacharias spoke at the Indiana Leadership Prayer Breakfast in 2014 at the request of then-governor Pence.
