Pastor David Wilkerson dead!
David Wilkerson Today

THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2011

Press ReleaseIt is with deepest sadness that we inform you of the sudden passing of Reverend
David Wilkerson Wednesday, April 27, 2011. More information will be posted on
this website as it becomes available.

Read this devotion online: [link to www.worldchallenge.org]

Rev. David Wilkerson, founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City and author of the well-known book The Cross and the Switchblade, was killed Wednesday in a head-on collision in Texas. He was 79."It is with deepest of sadness that we have to inform you of the sudden passing of Reverend David Wilkerson, our founding pastor," Times Square Church Senior Pastor Carter Conlon said in a statement on the church website.Conlon added that details of the family's wishes and a memorial service would be provided as information became available.How did Pastor David Wilkerson's ministry and life impact you?Crash DetailsWilkerson was driving east on U.S. 175 in Texas Wednesday afternoon, and moved into the opposite lane where a tractor trailer was driving westbound. The truck driver saw the car and tried to move out of the way, but still collided with the pastor's car head on, according to Public Safety Trooper Eric Long. It's unclear what caused Wilkerson to veer into the other lane. His wife Gwen was also involved in the crash and rushed to the hospital, along with the truck driver.Wilkerson was pronounced dead on the scene.Last WordsWilkerson posted a blog dated April 27 -- the day of his death. In the post, titled "When All Means Fail," he encouraged those facing difficulty to "hold fast" and stand strong in faith."To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights, and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, "I am with you,'" Wilkerson wrote. "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 all of Wilkerson's final blog here.Word of the accident began to spread Wednesday night on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Christians urged prayer for Mrs. Wilkerson, who's in critical condition.Rev. Wilkerson's ImpactWilkerson's cousin Rich Wilkerson confirmed the death on Twitter."It is confirmed my dear cousin David Wilkerson lost his life in a tragic car accident this afternoon. Prayers are needed at this time," he tweeted.Rev. Wilkerson spent the early part of his ministry reaching out to gang members and drug addicts in New York, as told in his bestselling book The Cross and the Switchblade."The term LEGEND is often used to describe a person of extreme influence but what about a man that supersedes superlatives. David Wilkerson," his cousin tweeted right after confirming his death. In 1971, he started World Challenge, Inc. as an umbrella for his crusades, conferences, evangelism and other ministry. The Times Square Church was founded under the group in 1987.The church is now led by Pastor Carter Conlon and has more than 8,000 members.Wilkerson also founded Teen Challenge, a Christian outreach program for troubled young people."Please remember the Wilkerson family in your prayers as our founder, Rev. David Wilkerson, went to be with the Lord this evening," Teen Challenge told Twitter followers.He is survived by his wife, four children and 11 grandchildren.
Revelation 1:7 "Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen."

Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."

Del Fasenfeld, Leonard Ravenhill, and now David Wilkerson. The true greats of our generation are all gone. God has removed His Prophets just before the great judgment I am afraid. This is truly a great loss, a Great man of God has fallen, and is rejoicing in the Heavenlies with the other saints of Faith.

Re: Pastor David Wilkerson dead!
Such a shame. I cried when I read this. I loved that book The Cross and the Switchblade and never even realized when I read it as a child how it would relate to me now. My Niece was suffering a heroin addiction, with a young baby and we had to help out.

I pray for his family in their time of grief. The world needs men like him, he will be sorely missed.

Either he fell asleep or yeah, the enemy was good and PISSED at all the damage Pastor Wilkerson did to his kingdom and demanded revenge.
Wilkerson's family has been loaded with tragedies, early cancer deaths.

You ones don't go to Jesus on death,you are sorted to where you next experience should be. you do not party with Jesus in heaven for trillions of years. but don't let me judge him, being only slightly familiar with him but I don't like what evangelists don't do.

A great man of righteousness in his generation. Beloved fellow believer in Messiah Yahshua, stood for what he believed in and was not afraid to stand against the overwhelming tide of evil he saw enveloping this generation.

May his memory be blessed and he rest in peace. He won't have long to do so, because the end of this evil is upon us and soon the reign of our beloved Messiah begins.

See ya soon, David!

Shalom, shalom,

Read the book "The Cross and the Switchblade"

He helped thousands of Puertican kids and later, Dominican kids, etc... in NYC and it spread from there.

He walked the walked

and talked the talked

Listen to his You Tube series, "Anguish" or
how he criticizes the Prosperity Preachers, quite good.

You vile toad, you know nothing of what you are talking about. And that is the clearest definition of a FOOL as there can be. David Wilkerson was only popular to the true remnant of God, to most of the "Babylonian" churches he was rejected; as he was a thorn in their side.

You try to be a leader, but your continuous blasphemy and lack of discernment is what makes you a Spiritual Retard, unworthy of anything in the Kingdom of God.
