SERVANT DEATH: Ted Engstrom 1916 - 2006 A man with a World Vision!

Ted W. Engstrom, former leader of several major evangelical institutions, including World Vision and Youth for Christ, died last Friday, July 14, in his home in Bradbury, California. Engstrom was 90.

As executive vice president, president, and chief executive officer of World Vision, Engstrom turned the fledgling and debt-ridden orphan agency into a major relief and development organization. Engstrom also served as editorial director and general manager of Zondervan Publishing House, executive director of Youth for Christ International, and interim president of Azusa Pacific University.

Another hard working, visionary of the Lord is at home at last.

Celebrating his 90th birthday at World Vision this year, Engstrom said, "Whenever the Lord calls, I'm ready. I'm not only ready, I'm eager. I'll have all eternity to celebrate God's goodness and grace."
