According to CBN news, on Twitter. Can anyone confirm?
I hate to hear this. I still remember reading one of his books as a new Christian. It made a deep impact on me.
Oh no.
Bless him.
The Saints are being called home.
Was it the Cross and the Switchblade? That’s what I read.
Rev. David Wilkerson, founding pastor of the Times Square Church in New York City, was killed Wednesday in a car crash in Texas, according to a source close to CBN News. He was 79.
Wilkerson’s wife Gwen was also involved in the crash and rushed to the hospital.
Details of the crash are still developing. Stay with CBNNews.com for an update.

WHEN ALL MEANS FAIL
To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29).
Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer—who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.
Someone has come to the place of hopelessness—the end of hope—the end of all means. A loved one is facing death and doctors give no hope. Death seems inevitable. Hope is gone. The miracle prayed for is not happening.
That is when Satan’s hordes come to attack your mind with fear, anger, overwhelming questions: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on promises. You trusted.”
Blasphemous thoughts will be injected into your mind: “Prayer failed. Faith failed. Don’t quit on God—just do not trust him anymore. It doesn’t pay!”
Even questioning God’s existence will be injected into your mind. These have been the devices of Satan for centuries. Some of the godliest men and women who ever lived were under such demonic attacks.
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. I cannot tell you why right now, but one day it will all make sense. You will see it was all part of my plan. It was no accident. It was no failure on your part. Hold fast. Let me embrace you in your hour of pain.”
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.

Yes! I forgot the name but that is it. I read that book twice.
It’s coming in from CBN now.
I saw the Cross and Switchblade for the first time 2 weeks ago.
He is an amazing man.
I’m on his FB page and he posted this devotion earlier and it has SO spoken to my heart.
Ya know, we lost our 16 yr old g/son in Sept and this devotion brought me such comfort.
It is true. the head of the Assembly of God’s George Wood posted it earlier on FB
The world has lost a great servent.
bttt
Well done, David. Well done.
Oh, my.
Wow. Thank you so very much and bless you for that post. It was just what I needed to hear. May David Wilkerson rest in peace and his family be guided in their grief and loss.
