Voddie Bauckham's Passing And Legacy
- Voddie Bauckham died at 56 after heart troubles and returned to the U.S. to finish his life with family. He is celebrated as a faithful, courageous Reformed Baptist pastor who stood early against wokeness and DEI.
Adopting Seven Boys And Moving To Zambia
- Bauckham and his wife had two biological children and later adopted seven black boys to address fatherlessness and serve his people. He moved to Zambia to help start an African seminary and to train native pastors in sound doctrine.
