Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on May 19, 1931)

Happy heavenly birthday, David Wilkerson! We imagine you're celebrating today with a joyful reunion and perhaps sharing stories about your daring adventures in New York City. Your courage to walk into gang territory armed only with faith—and maybe a Bible—still inspires us all.

Your timeless bestseller, "The Cross and the Switchblade," continues to touch hearts worldwide. Who knew that confronting street gangs could lead not just to changed lives but also bestselling books? Today we celebrate your legacy of bravery, compassion, and humor; after all these years, you still remind us that sometimes the boldest moves make for the best stories!
