Synopsis

At the age of fourteen, Bill Wilson was abandoned. Now he leads a crusade to rescue children in Brooklyn's "war zone"--and beyond. His dramatic story is more than a life-and-death struggle in the midst of crime, drugs and poverty. It is a vision of hope and promise for America's children. "Lately in the news they've been talking about how likely it is for a black male teenager to get shot and killed--especially in my neighborhood. They say it's even more likely that in a couple of years I'll be carrying a gun. But what they don't know is what a difference God's made in my life. Ever since I was three I've been going to Sunday school, and I've learned about God and His ways. And I made up my mind to follow Jesus. No, you'll never see me with a gun shooting anyone. Ever! Because no matter what's going on around me, I am standing for Jesus."--Vincent, age 12

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“The ministries of Bill Wilson’s Metro Church and its Sidewalk Sunday Schools are a fascinating story of God’s healing hand in a desperately needy world. The good news is that these ministries are being copied with great success in city after city across America...” —John Ashcroft U.S. Attorney General (2001-2005) For me, Metro Ministries always goes back to New York City. I’d like to tell you that when I first went there, I had it all figured out: A five-year plan, a ten-year plan, a strategy for success, and a budget. But I had none of those. In fact, I had no idea how to make the whole thing work—I just knew I had to do something to rescue broken and hurting children. I spent years listening to so-called experts say that what was on my heart couldn’t be done—especially in New York City. But I knew that wasn’t true. I refused to accept that ministry to inner city kids was impossible anywhere—especially in New York City. Whose Child Is This? is the story of a city filled with children who now have hope and a future because I refused to believe that anything was impossible with God... even in New York City. —Bill Wilson
