Jack Wyrtzen’s Testimony

Jack Wyrtzen, the founder and director of Word of Life Fellowship often quoted verse two of this chapter as an encouragement to witness. It was my privilege to be closely associated with him, in ministry, for over 35 years as my wife and I served with him on the Word of Life staff. As he would lead a testimony meeting he would often say, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy” (v. 2). Then he would tell how one of his buddies (George Shilling) in the Mounted Calvary would faithfully witness to him and give him tracts and Gospels of John. He would often rip them up or store them in his locker but finally one day the Lord got though to him and he was marvelously saved. Starting on the street corners of New York City He became one of the world’s greatest evangelists. (Lou Nicholes, Word of Life Fellowship).
