The news of Pastor David Wilkerson's passing shocked me. I was immediately struck with sadness when I read the headline, "Pastor David Wilkerson Dies in Car Crash." While we know that his devotion to Jesus Christ and mankind has surely ushered him from this life into heavenly glory, I could sense the great loss that many felt due to losing a faithful servant of the gospel.

People, worldwide, posted status updates on Facebook that showed their admiration of Wilkerson and gave countless testimonies of how his ministry had played a role in their life. Numerous YouTube videos of some of his most popular messages, such as, "A Call to Anguish," "The Second Coming," "On Hell," among many others, were being uploaded to social networking sites.
