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.
(Billy's Thoughts>>> I didn't always agree with David but he was a Godly man who made a difference for Jesus. He is the man who God used to put together the Teen Challenge a ministry that reaches out to drug abusers. Please pray for his wife who was hurt badly in the car crash that killed David. Also lets rejoice that David is now with the Lord who he followed.)
