When I was a teenager in the 70s, I picked up a copy of "The Cross and the Switchblade." It had an incredible impact on my life. To this day, I occasionally think of how that young Pennsylvania preacher left everything to follow God's call into the inner city. I praise God for that.

peace,

I posted about Rev. David on Internet Monk - David Wilkerson: May 19, 1931-April 27, 2011

From what I understand, there will be a Memorial Service streaming live in a week or so.

I went to Central Bible College, David's Alma Mater, as well as attending there with his son, Rev. Gary Wilkerson who pastors a church in Colorado. Here's my Internet Monk post -

April 29, 2011
David spoke at a morning chapel service at Central Bible College when I was a student there in the late 70s (or around 1980). His message was about unreserved commitment and was very powerful! I heard David again at a church in Houston, TX a couple of years later. That evening, his message was directed to married folks. I was single then, still am now, but what he preached is fresh in my mind. He compared the faithfulness of Jesus to His Followers to: faithfulness in marriage. He openly challenged men to repent from pornography (which you didn’t hear very often back then)! He urged husbands and wives to forsake any adultery, and to forgive one another if their had been any. At the end he asked couples to come forward to renew their commitment in marriage and to Christ. David prayed with and for them. It was just incredibly moving, something I will never forget. RIP Brother Wilkerson. Prayers for his widow, Gwen, that she may recover her health, and for the Wilkerson Family in their time of grief, through Christ our Lord, Amen.

===============================

If I find details about the Memorial Service, I'll post it here. God bless you.

Memorial Service for David Wilkerson, streams live from Times Square Church, 14 May 2011, 2PM, eastern---> link (I'm assuming it could be watched later & there might be a pre-registration required). God bless.
