David Pickford: Reaching a Nation




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: I've told you about my friend, David Pickford, and his wife, Betty, who died only a short while ago.  Both were born into poverty, both brilliant, both received Jesus Christ quite early in their lives and they were some of the most cheerful and happy Christians that I've ever met around the world.  The most amazing thing was that they served their country the United Kingdom, Great Britain, in an amazing, amazing way. They worked with teenagers and children in a youth movement over there - Boys Brigade.  And then, he reached out to amazing numbers of young people by the tens of thousands.  In fact, the festival that we had in London in '84 was a great measure worked on by those young people that he ministered to for so many years.  But, there was something else... David and Betty also reached the Queen's first cousin, Princess Alexandra, whom the Lord used me to lead to the feet of Jesus Christ.  God willing, in a few weeks I will go and see her and her brother who is also a very distinguished man in the United Kingdom.  But, it all happened by this successful businessman, with his wife Betty, who were unashamed of Jesus.  Who openly testified.  Who believed the words of Jesus "If you follow me, I will make you fishers of me."  Do you have that joy?  I hope you do.
