DIED: Spiros Zodhiates, missions leader and Greek-American Bible scholar, died at 87 on Oct. 10. Zodhiates came to the United States in 1946 to work for a tiny, two-employee organization housed in a one-room office in Times Square. He developed that mission to become Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel International, a missions and relief organization that ministers in 55 different countries and became a model for ministries like World Vision and Samaritan's Purse. His Bible translation includes the Modern Greek New Testament and the Key Word Study Bible.
