John Stott, known around the world for his preaching and writing, died on July 27 at the age of 90. The Scripture Union family is saddened by his loss but grateful to God for his life which influenced so many .
Converted to Christ through a Scripture Union worker whilst at school, he was a great friend of SU. He once wrote, “Scripture Union has had a very formative influence in my life, and I owe it a debt which I can never repay. First, it was a Scripture Union staff worker who showed me the way to Christ. Second, it was Scripture Union, which taught me the discipline of daily Bible reading—a discipline which I still consider to be indispensable to Christian growth and freshness. No wonder that I thank God for Scripture Union!”
Let’s pray that God will raise up others who will follow his example of humble leadership and obedience to Christ.
Scripture Union International has released a tribute to his ministry.
