“Dear Friends, Many of you know that I have had serious back issues and struggled after two surgeries. Recently the pain has intensified and I have battled several flare-ups. This Thursday I will undergo emergency spinal repair surgery and will be recovering until the beginning of April,” he wrote.
Zacharias then asks for prayers, not only for himself but for his family and his ministry team.
“I seldom talk about personal challenges but am making an exception because I know you will pray for me—and for my family and the @rzimhq team. Thank you for serving our Lord alongside Margie and me. Your prayers mean more than you’ll ever know,” he wrote.
The apologist then reveals, “It’s time to face the pain and the discipline of healing,” and uses Ezekiel as an example.
