Ravi Zacharias International Ministries is a global team of twelve itinerant speakers with offices in six countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, India, Singapore, and Canada. Founded in 1984 by Ravi Zacharias, the vision of RZIM is fourfold:
- Evangelism that focuses on skeptics, cultural influencers, and critical thinkers.
- Apologetics that addresses current issues and the needs of society.
- Spiritual Disciplines that focus the mind and heart on the glory of God.
- Training that comes alongside the Church and
concerned Christians worldwide.

Mission Statement
The primary mission of RZIM is to support, expand, and enhance the preaching and teaching ministry of Ravi Zacharias, distinctive in its strong evangelistic and apologetic foundation, intended to touch both the heart and the intellect of the thinkers and opinion-makers of society with the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We address the intellectual and essential assumptions of our culture, realizing that for some, the door to the heart is through the mind, and for others through the imagination.
RZIM is committed to reaching this generation around the world—in the university, the arts, politics, business and the Church. Through open forums, community outreach, youth apologetics, various media and social awareness, we seek to remove the barriers to the Cross for the skeptic as we prepare Christians to give a reason for the hope within us.

Our Uniqueness
A Global Perspective
RZIM has been gifted with a unique blend of international speakers who understand today’s global culture. The diversity the Speaking Team’s experience enables them to transcend national and cultural differences to engage audiences throughout the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
A Global Reach
People see and understand the unique ability of RZIM to view questions from various cultural perspectives, shedding insight into often unnoticed assumptions and cultural prejudices. This is why the speakers receive the types of invitations they do: they understands the complexity of different cultures, yet they also understand the ability of the Gospel to reach into each culture.
A Reputation of excellence, respect, and integrity
A global perspective is insufficient without a pattern of trustworthiness and respect. As Ravi often says, there is no use in offering someone a rose if you have just cut off their nose. The Speaking Team understands that without love, faithfulness, and personal integrity the message of grace often goes unheard.
Strategy: A Four-Pronged Approach to Accomplishing RZIM’s Vision
The value in this outreach is in affirming the sacredness of every human life as a creation of God. In these acts of loving-kindness toward those in need, RZIM Wellspring International seeks to proclaim the Gospel in deed and thereby speak an apologetic that every human being can understand.

EVANGELISM & APOLOGETICS: WHO WE ARE |
| |
RZIM is a global ministry that seeks to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. At its essence, apologetics is the art and science of Christian persuasion: communicating the relevance, coherence, and reasonableness of the Christian Gospel to skeptics, cultural influencers, and critical thinkers across the globe.
Daily, RZIM's itinerants travel throughout the world articulating the beauty and credibility of the Gospel through open forums, closed-door sessions, training events, community outreach, youth apologetics, various media (including radio, Internet and pod-casting to name a few), and other venues, always speaking the truth in love.

TRAINING: HOW WE MULTIPLY |
| |
RZIM stands in the gap between the church and the world to reach the minds of men and women with the credibility of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; to equip this generation of Christians with a culturally relevant apologetic, enabling them to contend for their faith; to enter arenas of resistance and reclaim ground lost to skepticism and secularism; to impact leaders in their sphere of influence on matters of character and discipline so that both heart and mind are in tune with the heart and mind of God. |

Just Thinking and Let My People Think Radio Programming
RZIM's two radio programs, Just Thinking and Let My People Think, provide a much-needed voice: a compelling delivery of biblical truth in truth-starved times suited for the seeker and skeptic, as well as both new and long-time Christians.
RZIM also offers a daily devotional email, A Slice of Infinity, which delivers words of challenge, truth, and hope designed to provide its readers with the opportunity to further examine their beliefs, culture, and the unique message of Jesus Christ.
