WORLDCHALLENGE

Through David Wilkerson, World Challenge took its first steps in 1971. Since then, we have made great strides

across the globe to share the gospel. When we consider where we were then and where we are now, a clear pattern

emerges—a pattern of empowering, equipping and encouraging Christians, evangelizing the lost and reaching

out to empower those in physical and spiritual poverty.

RENEWING YOUR PASSION FOR CHRIST

From the heart of Gary Wilkerson, Renewing Your Passion For Christ pastors’ conferences are intended to bring a clear and uncompromising message of the cross to encourage pastors.

With the tides of culture creating currents of conflict and persecution in churches around the globe, Gary helps pastors focus on turning life’s impossible circumstances into life-changing opportunities through developing a renewed trust in Jesus and the application of biblical truth.

Gary speaks to the heart to equip and inspire pastors so they can share the truth of the gospel not only with their congregation but with the unsaved of their communities as well.

Healing never came for Torn Pheoun and his family when they called on evil spirits to cure their illnesses. Then Pastor Vireak arrived in their Cambodian village bringing helpthrough World Poverty Solutions. Pointing out God’s natural provision, Vireak offered practical teaching in health and agriculture—and as people applied the lessons, villagelife changed.
