Bishop Wilson departed this life Saturday, April 2nd, and his Memorial will be conducted this coming Saturday, April 9th. The same information posted here, can also be found on the World Class Cities Ministries, WCCM, website www/wccm.netand the WCCM Facebook feed.WCCM is the ministry through which Bishop Wilson helped motivate people around the world in one of the great church-planting efforts most of us have ever seen in our life. The delay in having the service, is to allow those overseas who want to attend, giving them time to book flights and make other arrangements. Some will need to process Visas and or Passports to make the trip to the U.S.Having such a delay, will be difficult for the family, but they and the WCCM staff, are making every effort to facilitate those who want to be in attendance at the Celebration Of Life service for Bishop Wilson. In a statement to Actscelerate, Bishop Wilson's son Shaun said, We wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to celebrate Dad's life.
