David Wilkerson (born May 19, 1931 in Hammond, Indiana) is an American Christian evangelist, best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He founded "Teen Challenge." He is also the founder of Times Square Church in New York, a non-denominational church. Wilkerson's widely distributed sermons, such as "A Call to Anguish," are known for being direct and frank. He emphasizes such Christian beliefs as God's holiness and righteousness, God's love toward humans and especially Christian views of Jesus. Wilkerson tries to avoid categorizing Christians into distinct groups according to the denomination they belong to, and as such he is an evangelist with broad appeal.
