Bill Wilson (pastor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill Wilson (born 1947) is the president and founder of Metro Ministries International, America’s largest ministry to children with branches in various nations. He is a well-known speaker, author, pastor and friend of poor inner city children all over the world.

Born in south Boston, Wilson's mother abandoned him on a streetcorner in Pinellas Park, FL, at age 14. She said, "I can't do this anymore. You wait here." Even three days later, little Bill was still sitting on that street corner, she never came back. Now heading Metro Ministries International in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn), Wilson's Sunday school program is the largest in America, reaching more than 20,000 children aged 12 and under each week. His curriculum is used in 1,000 cities around the world. In 1992 he was the only ghetto resident appointed to President Bush’s National Commission on America’s Urban Families.
