David & Gwen Wilkerson before the 50th Anniversary Celebration in New York City

To all our Teen Challenge friends and family:

I am saddened to inform you that we have just learned Sister Gwen Wilkerson has passed away.  Please keep the family in your prayers.

Of course, we know that while we are saddened to lose such a great woman of God, she is blessed to be in the presence of Jesus and reunited with Brother Dave. As when we lost Brother Dave, we can remember Sister Gwen as one who had a “life well lived.” Thank God for this wonderful couple that He used to impact millions around the world.

We will give you further updates as we receive them.
