Pastor David Wilkerson (born May 19, 1931 in Hammond, Indiana, United States Died. April 27, 2011 in Texas, United States) - author of the world-famous book "The Cross and the dagger," pastor "Times Square Church in New York. He worked among the youth and people from the margins of society in New York. In 1958 he founded the organization "Teen Challenge", which aimed to help these people.
On the case of Pastor Wilkerson posted on his blog entry Fri "When everything fails," in which the added comfort of all, going through difficulties, and encouraged them to persevere in faith. Someone translated his words as follows: For those who pass through the valley of the shadow of death is the word fills a terrible cry, dark nights - but amidst this darkness will soon hear the whisper of the Father: 'I am with you. Now I can not say why, but one day to see it all makes sense. You'll see that it was part of my plan. It was no coincidence. It's not your loss. Hold on tight. Let me hug you in your hour of pain. "
Pastor Wilkerson, not without reason, remain the most remembered for his evangelistic activities among street gangs, drug dealers and drug addicts, and by the book, which describes this service. Book "The Cross and the dagger," which was filmed. The film still serves as an evangelistic tool in the work among the prisoners. With God's favor given to us (me and my husband) was a pleasure to meet two main characters in this book. Nicky Cruz, who visited Poland in the eighties. Arguinzoni and Sonny, who, through his church founded in Amsterdam's red light district, ran a great activity among the most lost of this world. (Churches' Victory Outreach "originated in different countries around the world - we visited the one in the Netherlands. It was an unforgettable experience. See converts: drug addicts and dealers, homosexuals, pimps and prostitutes. Living in one of them. Listen to her singing in the choir ...)
on your blog Nicky Cruz wrote: It is with great sadness That I say goodbye to my spiritual father, David Wilkerson. It is impossible to adequately Summarize 50 plus years of memories. For Decades, I have told people, and Especially my family, That without David Wilkerson's obedience to go into the pits of hell, I would not be here. Neither would millions of souls who have come to the Lord through Nicky Cruz Outreach, Teen Challenge, Victory Outreach, and World Challenge.
The Polish version: With great sadness I say goodbye to my spiritual father, David Wilkerson. It is impossible to adequately sum up more than 50 years of memories. For decades, told people, and especially my family, that without obedience to David, to go into the worst depths of hell, I would not be here. And millions of other souls who have come to know the Lord through evangelism Nicky Cruz Outreach , Teen Challenge, Victory Outreach , and World Challenge.
Indeed, the amazing is the fruit of obedience to one man.

Arguinzoni Sonny writes: If I had to describe David Wilkerson with one word, it would be " Faith." [...] Today, I'm remembering how David influenced my life -he was the first one to demonstrate to me that he had “faith” that I could change! […] I am grateful to God for my spiritual heritage, and I thank Him daily that my spiritual Fathers were powerful men of God. […] Julie and I, along with our family, will be eternally grateful to the Wilkerson family and to have personally known this great man of God, this great man of compassion, and this great man of faith .
W polskim tłumaczeniu: Jeśli miałbym opisać Davida Wilkersona jednym słowem, to byłoby to słowo „Wiara”. […] Dzisiaj wspominam, as David impact on my life - he first showed me that he had faith in the fact that I can change. [...] I am grateful to God for all my spiritual heritage, and every day I thank Him for being my spiritual fathers were great men of God. [...] Julie and I, along with all our family, we will be eternally grateful to the family Wilkersonów that we personally know this wonderful man of God, this man full of compassion, this great man of faith .

David Wilkerson visited Poland. I know at least two of his stays. And I was able to listen to him at a conference for pastors and people involved in the service of the Church. The conference was held in Wroclaw on 16-18 June 2005. Its slogan was Renew a passion for Christ . David was accompanied by son - Gary.
David said there among other things: ... No matter how great churches we had built, how wonderful they may be - well-organized, well equipped, well financed, with beautiful buildings - that when we face face with Jesus, He will not talk with us about 'church growth', 'dynamic church' or 'church management' and will not be interested in how great organizations and buildings, we managed to ascend! He will ask: Is every day powierzałeś me your life, desiring to be more like me? Are you doing anything to grow on me? ...

He will ask: Is every day powierzałeś me your life, desiring to be more like me? Are you doing anything to grow on me? ...
I should mention that David Wilkerson wrote more books.
I can recommend two:
"Towards a mature Christianity" - little 'gem', discussing the basic aspects of Christian life; CTVCH Charisma, Opole, 1995.
"Triumph of the tragedy. How Christians can become winners through suffering " - JACK, Ustroń, 2005.
I believe that, despite the sudden and tragic death of David Wilkerson and go to the Lord's work here on earth, will still be performed outstanding work in the hearts of many people. Created an organization, founded the church, books, collected sermons, prophecy, respected blog - many more can bring to Christ. Wykorzystujmy this time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16)
