Pastor Voddie Baucham Jr., 56, has passed away just days after paying tribute to Charlie Kirk. Known worldwide
for his sermons and teaching, he served as Dean at the African Christian University in Zambia and later as President of Founders Seminary in Florida.
Born March 11, 1969, Baucham was a respected pastor, author, and speaker who emphasized family, biblical truth,
and strong communities. In 2021, he faced life-threatening heart failure, inspiring a wave of global support that raised over $1.4 million for his care.
Founders Ministries confirmed he died following an “emergency medical incident.” He is survived by his wife, Bridget, their nine children, and grandchildren.
Baucham leaves behind a powerful legacy of faith, service, and love that touched countless lives around the world.
