John Wimber 1934-1997. Died Monday morning, November 17th.
A former night-club musician, heavy smoker and drinker---he was thoroughly converted. Was on ministerial staff for the Friends for several years---became charismatic---and ultimately the "father" of the over 400 Vineyard churches. His "power" course that he taught at Fuller Seminary, became so controversial, he was finally relieved of teaching the course.
Whether you agree with Wimber's theology, he at least had a heart for God and emphasized the message of holiness in his later years.
He has probably had as much to do with the singing of chorus' instead of hymns (the modern trend) as any other one individual. He has written a number of chorus'.

God rest his soul.

Jack
