Ralph Winter dies at 84…

Justin Taylor writes:

Missiologist Dr. Ralph D. Winter, founder of the US Center for World Mission and William Carey International University, has gone to be with the Lord. It is to think of people more influential and strategic in the task of reaching unreached peoples for Christ.

At RTS/Orlando, one of the most illuminating times was our missiology class with Dr. Steve Childers. One of our advantages was to have Dr. Winter’s grandson in our class. We read through David Jacobus Bosch’s Missio Dei and discussed many articles by Dr. Ralph Winter.  Winter’s lasting commitment to the evangelization of the world is to be highly esteemed.

Dr. Ralph Winter, may your body rest in peace.
