The much loved preacher, author and presenter was diagnosed with skin cancer in June and underwent treatment but became very tired last week and was taken into hospital on Wednesday 7 November. According to an SJI statement, he was in no pain but gradually drifted into eternity with liver failure as a result of secondary melanoma.
Wife Jacqui described his death as a "holy time".
"The registrar said how unusually peaceful his death was - a nurse comforted us with thoughts of paradise while another stood and cried - it was a holy time.
"Rob had repeatedly said that he did not want to live in pain but would prefer to go to heaven to be with His Father. We believe God granted him his wish."
Rob Frost set up the mission agency Share Jesus International in 1986 with the sole purpose of sharing Jesus in many different contexts and countries.
He was in great demand as a preacher, the International Director of the International Leadership Institute based in Atlanta and the author of over 25 books. He also presented Premier Radio's flagship current affairs programme called Frost on Sunday and his weekly TV show on the God Channel is broadcast under the title the Frost Debate.
He lectured in mission and evangelism at London School of Theology and was a regular teacher at theological institutions throughout the UK.
Son Andy, who was working with Rob on Pentecost Festival, said of his father: "He truly lived a life well lived - a man of God!
"Rob was not afraid of death and right now he will be face to face with Jesus. The Grace that he lived out, the Grace he wrote and preached about, the Grace he shared... has now carried him to be with His Heavenly Father.
"Rob and I have been working closely together on the Pentecost Festival and it will be a privilege to make this vision become reality one last time."
