"David Ray Wilkerson" was an United States/American Christian Evangelism/evangelist, best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He was the founder of the substance dependence/addiction recovery program Teen Challenge, and founding pastor of the non-denominational Times Square Church in New York.

Wilkerson's widely distributed sermons, such as "A Call to Anguish", are known for being direct and frank against apostasy and serious about making the commitment to obey Teachings of Jesus/Jesus' teachings. He emphasized such Christian beliefs as God's holiness and righteousness, God's love toward humans and especially Christian views of Jesus. Wilkerson tried to avoid categorizing Christians into distinct groups according to the Christian denomination/denomination to which they belong.

Wilkerson was killed in a car crash in Texas on April 27, 2011.
