BIO: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 evangel-
istic street meetings at the age of 16. After medical train-
ing, 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 trav-
eled 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."
