Livestream: Pence Speaks At Evangelist's Memorial Service

ATLANTA, GA — Vice President Mike Pence visited Atlanta Friday to speak at a memorial service for prominent Christian evangelist Ravi Zacharias, who died May 19 of cancer.

The private memorial service was livestreamed from Alpharetta. People could watch at RZIM.org/RaviMemorial. The program started streaming at 11 a.m. ET, but viewers could join early at 10:30 a.m. ET for a special retrospective of Ravi’s global influence.

According to his website, Zacharias died of cancer at the age 74. Atlanta was the city Zacharias would call home for the last 36 years of his life. He is survived by Margie, his wife of 48-years; his three children: Sarah, the Global CEO of RZIM, Naomi, Director of Wellspring International, and Nathan, RZIM’s Creative Director for Media; and five grandchildren.

Pence also met with small-business owners. This is his second Friday in a row visiting Atlanta. When Pence visited Atlanta on May 22, he congratulated Kemp for being among the first governors to lift pandemic restrictions.

"I think history will record that Georgia helped lead the way back to a prosperous American economy," Pence said last Friday, as reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Atlanta TV station Fox5 reported that Pence arrived in Marietta on Air Force Two at about 9:55 a.m. Friday. Drivers in the area were warned to allow extra time for travel to accommodate Pence's motorcade to Alpharetta.
