I may just confuse most of you all again :(, but as much as I loved Martin Luther King Jr I also loved , met , and Served David Wilkerson in New York way back in 1987......
When the spirit says move ..... Sing ..... Dance....... clean up somebody's puke, you do it!


Times Square Church Founder David Wilkerson Dies in Accident

“I saw 9-, 10- and 11-year-old kids bombed on crack cocaine. I walked down 42nd Street and they were selling crack. Len Bias, the famous basketball player, had just died of a crack overdose, and the pusher was yelling, ‘Hey, I’ve got the stuff that killed Len,’” recalled Wilkerson, according to the Times Square Church website.
“I wept and prayed, ‘God, you’ve got to raise up a testimony in this hellish place … The answer was not what I wanted to hear: ‘Well, you know the city. You’ve been here. You do it.’”
In October 1987, Wilkerson opened Times Square Church in Town Hall. The church was later moved to its present location, the Mark Hellinger Theater.
Wow time moves so quickly:(  been there done that! We will ALL miss him.....
