From Will, Ministry Communications, www.coralridge.org:
"All of us at Coral Ridge Ministries sincerely appreciate you taking the time to write this heartfelt tribute to Dr. Kennedy. Thank you very much.
Public viewing and funeral services for Dr. Kennedy have been scheduled. Here are the service times:
Wednesday, Sept. 12 – Noon to 9:00 pm EDT: Dr. Kennedy will lie in repose in the Grand Narthex at CRPC, 5555 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale.
Thursday, Sept. 13 – 1:00 pm: A public funeral service will be held in the sanctuary at CRPC. The service will be delay-broadcast in its entirety on TBN, time to-be-determined. There will also be a web cast of the service – details forthcoming.
Later... – A private, family-only interment will take place.
The staff of Coral Ridge Ministries is determined to faithfully carry the torch that Dr. Kennedy has passed to us. We have initiated a Five Year Strategic Plan to increase our outreach from 3 million to 30 million people by 2012 via television, radio, print, and the Internet using the teachings and inspirations of Dr. Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy was intimately involved in the building and approval of this aggressive Five Year Plan before his cardiac arrest last December. This plan includes a media library containing nearly all of Dr. Kennedy’s print, audio, and video messages over the last four decades. Coral Ridge Ministries is also harnessing new media, including video on demand, mobile phone delivery, curriculum development, and innovative short-form convergent presentations on topics such as abortion, America’s Christian history, and biblical authority.
Dr. Kennedy was much loved and we will sorely miss him. We are grateful to God for his moral and spiritual leadership and his legacy of in-depth biblical teaching on a wide range of matters. He has left us a rich storehouse of biblical truth that will serve as the foundation for this ministry’s growth in the years to come. We hope you will continue to partner with us as we carry on Dr. Kennedy’s mission to boldly proclaim truths that transform lives throughout the United States and around the world.
In Christ,
Will" |
