Pulpit Series Newsletter

Reverend Wilkerson's monthly printed messages, the World Challenge Pulpit Series, were sent out by World Challenge, Inc. to a growing number of believers who want to grow spiritually and are hungry to hear the Word of the Lord. His desire was to provoke people to pray more and seek the Lord in a greater way, and to see God's people return to righteousness. Today, his son, Gary continues to encourage through these newsletters.

As a result of their relationship with God, daughters are restored to their families, wives to their husbands, and mothers to their children.

Times Square Church

In 1986, after walking down 42nd street in Manhattan at midnight, crying out for God to raise up a ministry in Times Square, Reverend Wilkerson sensed the Lord speaking to his heart: "You start a church. You know the city and you love it." At that moment Times Square Church was birthed in his heart, and the church opened its doors in October 1987. Established by World Challenge, Times Square Church is now a separate 501(c)(3) organization. The church has a congregation of nearly 8,000 and is a virtual microcosm of New York City's inhabitants: doctors, entertainers, the homeless, teachers, the poor, attorneys, ex-convicts, Wall-Street brokers, former drug pushers and addicts, CEO's, the middle class and students.

Mount Zion International School of Ministry

Mount Zion School of Ministry was founded in 1994 by the Holy Spirit, who birthed the vision in the heart of its president, Catherine Logan. The school was established through the ministry of David Wilkerson under the umbrella of World Challenge, Inc. In 2008, the name was updated to Mount Zion International School of Ministry.

The academic program is an intensive three-year curriculum of high standards that plays a vital part in the spiritual growth of the student. This program mandates two and a half years of classroom learning and a six-month internship. Upon completion, students graduate and receive a diploma of completed ministerial study and vocational training in biblical, doctrinal, missionary, and associated subjects.

The school’s beautiful 100-acre campus is located near the Blue Mountain range in central Pennsylvania, just 16 miles east of Harrisburg.

The Springs Church

In 2008, soon after Pastor Gary Wilkerson and his family moved to Colorado, God birthed the desire in Pastor Gary’s heart to start a church in Colorado Springs through the urging of close friends. In a city and community of many churches and Christian organizations, another church seemed like the last thing this area needed. Pastor Gary felt from the Lord though that this church was to have a special purpose like no other in this city. With this confidence and word from God, The Springs Church was launched in early 2009 and has since grown to a congregation of 1,500 people. God has placed the heart of outreach at the very core of The Springs Church and this body has already made an impact on the lives of the needy in Colorado Springs.
