What makes this special is the fact that David Wilkerson founded our church, and Nicky Cruz has preached here.
Thursday the 10th, when people from our Church were handing out flyers, a 65-year-old man came up and told them that he was there when Wilkerson started working with the youth of New York. He gave one of our worship leaders a 20 minute interview.
Last week the altar call filled the aisles and went into the lobby. Our original run was 2 shows, with the second being tonight. After the request for group seats came in for tonight's show, we added four more through February.
I have to tell you, the young people playing the gang members and their girls paint an outstanding picture of the people Wilkerson reached out to. The young man playing Nicky Cruz is positively scary (as I understand Cruz himself was). If even 25% of the people who respond to the play take root (the parable of the sower), there's going to be a powerful move in the inner city here this year.
Wonderful results! I’ll pray for heart-deep conversions from your remaining performances.
“If even 25% of the people who respond to the play take root ..., there’s going to be a powerful move in the inner city here this year.”
That’s just the smallest sliver of what is brewing globally.
Sink your teeth into this, and pass it on to any “yutes” in your church whom you may be aware have a call on their lives. Subsidize their participation, if you can.

MASSIVELY excellent things are afoot. As Lewis would have put it to his Narnian friends, “Aslan is on the move!”
Just you let THAT — and all that it implies — get down into your roots.
I would be very interested in the outcome.
My copy of Cross and the Switchblade is a paperback. Got it when I was in college many years ago and Far, Far away (from here anyway - was in St. Paul, MN..) Some young preacherperson name of Wilkerson was having a meeting at a church called Soul's Harbor - a converted theater - in MPLS, and they needed counselors so some of the area Bible colleges and seminaries were asked if they could provide some.. which is how I got involved. Only time I ever heard David Wilkerson in person.
And now I'm just up the road a piece from Times Square Church (what cityfolk refer to as 'upstate' - which is anything north of The Bronx), but have not made it to anything at TSC.. the 80 some mile trek is hard to manage ;-)
Says you added shows - where can I get info?
Not making any promises but you never know...
