Hi, I'm Craig and Cook, and I'm the Senior Director of Gospel and Life. It is with sadness that I share with you that our founder and friend, Timothy J. Keller, passed away this morning, May 19, 2023, at the age of 72, trusting in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection. I invite you to join us in praying for the Keller family as they go through the grieving process, and while our hearts are heavy with the news of Tim's death, we know he is rejoicing with his Savior in heaven. Our spirits are also lifted because of the gospel that Tim so eloquently and regularly preached. Then in Christ we have life everlasting, that one day every wrong will be made right. Every tear will be wiped away, and we will live with our Savior in the new heavens and

new earth. That is why Tim so often would say, the gospel truly changes everything. It's what Tim believed, taught, and lived. Steve Shacklford, our Redeemer City's City CEO, shared this about Tim. While Tim was on a trip a few years back, he was asked how he wanted to be remembered. He said that he didn't think a lot about legacy, and then referenced something Martin Lloyd Jones said about his name being written in Lam's Book of Life. Then Tim paused, and one of those rare personal moments said,

I do hope my grandchildren remember me. There will never be another Tim Keller and we will miss him. We ask for your continued prayers for Kathy and the Keller family and all of us here at Gospel and Life. Lastly, we want you to know that Tim and Kathy have been planning for some time to ensure that the ministry of Gospel and Life would continue and their prayer was that it would not only continue, but that it would flourish for many years to come. At Tim's request, it is our honor to continue the work of gospel and life and honor his ministry by continuing to spread the gospel through his teachings, books, and other resources as

God leads in the days ahead. On behalf of the Gospel and Life team, join us in giving thanks for Tim's life and testimony, and please continue to pray for the Keller family and this ministry. While we go through a season of temporary sorrow, we are grateful that we have eternal hope in Christ. Thank you.
