Guest Speakers Bios:
Stuart McAllister
Born in Scotland, Stuart McAllister spent his earlier years in sales before Christ changed his life at the age of twenty. From then on, filled with a hunger to learn more about and preach the Gospel, he took every opportunity to witness and give his testimony. The desire to serve the Lord and at the same time deepen his understanding of the faith led him to Operation Mobilisation in 1978. OM sent him to Yugoslavia where he was imprisoned for forty days for distributing Christian literature. Undeterred, he continued on his mission to preach the Gospel in communist countries, which resulted in several more imprisonments.
He was general secretary of the European Evangelical Alliance and is involved with the European Lausanne Committee. Stuart has developed an evangelistic mobilization called "Love Europe" that sent several thousand team members across Europe with the message of the Gospel. He also founded the European Roundtable to bring together a diverse group of ministries and interests; they united to foster "Hope for Europe."
After residing in Vienna, Austria for twenty years, Stuart joined the staff of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries as the International Director in January of 1998. Pluralism, postmodernism and consumerism are regular topics addressed by Stuart in the leadership seminars.

Welcome to the Ravi Zacharias School of Apologetics at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale.
Perhaps it’s your desire to have answers that will explain and defend your faith to the skeptical neighbor close by or the antagonistic co-worker who’s in your office. Maybe it’s being able “to give a reason for the hope that is in you” to an unbelieving family member. It could simply be a heart to know Christ more.
Whatever your interest in browsing this website, we are confident that through an in-depth study of the Scriptures, along with the apologetic resources of world renowned author and teacher Ravi Zacharias you can be equipped to speak to both the people and culture that surround you.
