I just learned that David Wilkerson, the founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City, the founder of World Challenge and the author of The Cross and The Switchblade, was killed in a car accident in Texas.
While many talks about their faith, Wilkerson walked the walk. Even though I have visited the Times Square church, I first knew more about him through Nicky Cruz's book Run Baby Run. David Wilkerson was instrumental in leading Nicky Cruz to Christ.
David Wilkerson did not hide himself in an ivory tower, playing the holier/better/anointed than thou game; he risked his life to reach the gang members, the drug addicts and whoever that needed help, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May his family and friends be comforted with His peace.
Here is an excerpt from his last blog post, "Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.”. Read the complete post here.
