Ray Comfort’s Defiance After Charlie Kirk’s Death: ‘I Will Not Fear’

Evangelist Ray Comfort lamented the tragic assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk and remained resolute in his own ministry to continue openly sharing the Gospel.

“I absolutely admired … Charlie Kirk, and I admired him because of his courage,” Comfort said. “He was so courageous to touch issues that most of us would be afraid to touch, and he did it with such eloquence. I’ve never heard anyone with a grasp of the English language like he had.”

The faith leader called Kirk “brilliant” and said, despite the pain of his killing, he’s optimistic God will raise up other leaders.

In the meantime, Comfort said he has no plans to let fear stop him from his own evangelistic quests. He’s encouraging other believers to stand up against fear as well.

“The day before Charlie was killed, I told our crew, our camera crew and our planning team, that I wanted to go to 13 universities in Southern California,” he said. “After what happened to Charlie, I am going to do it. I’m resolved to do it. I will not fear. I’ll not be intimidated, and I want every Christian to feel that way too because, if God’s for us, nothing can be against us.”

He closed out the interview with a genuine prayer for repentance.

“We pray for your church that you will raise up laborers to be salt and light,” Comfort said. “May we preserve the rot that’s happening within our nation and may we hold up the light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the image of God.”
