Prayer is not a spiritual crowbar or jackhammer that pries open God’s willingness to act but a means by which Christians open themselves up to God – to grasp God’s will and be grasped by it.

Walter Lewis Wilson
1881-1969
Walter L. Wilson was born May 27, 1881, in Aurora, Indiana, son of a Methodist minister. He was “the preacher” whenever neighborhood children played church, and later held evangelistic street meetings at the age of 16. After medical training, he began practice as a physician in Webb City, Missouri, in 1904. Everywhere he went, he told people how Jesus Christ could transform their lives. Soul-winning characterized his life, and he used every possible tool to accomplish it.

A pioneer in radio, he initiated his own program in 1924. He founded and for 40 years pastored Calvary Bible Church in Kansas City; founded and served as president of present-day Calvary Bible College; wrote 22 books; and traveled widely as a conference speaker.

He died May 24, 1969, but his heart pulse lives on. “The blessed privilege of winning souls for Christ is most interesting, profitable, and eternally blessed.”
