David Pickford: An Example of Love




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: I've told you about my British friend, David Pickford who died just recently.  What a brilliant man he was.  How he loved young people - teenagers, children.  He worked in the Boys Brigade, a British organization, but he also worked with some of the highest people in the realm.  One of the princesses of the royal family and her husband came to know Jesus Christ because he was unashamed of Jesus.Jesus said, "If anyone is ashamed of me, in this sinful and adulterous generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes into glory with the holy angels."  David was never ashamed of Jesus Christ.  He was a terrifically brilliant man - successful, very wealthy, gave away tons of money for the kingdom of God.  He spoke so lovingly, so humbly, so cheerfully, so kindly to people that people from the top levels of the government and business to the humblest and poorest in London loved David Pickford.Are you that kind of person?  Am I that kind of person?  I always ask myself... do I love the children like Jesus loves the children?  David Pickford was an example to me of a wealthy successful man who loved the children of the world.
