It doesn't matter what a person holds in their hand, but who holds them in his hand!

Wolfgang Dyck

Wolfgang Dyck (1930–1970) war ein deutscher Straßen- und Jugendevangelist, der in den 1960er-Jahren in Westdeutschland an Orten wie Bahnhöfen, Lokalen und Gefängnissen wirkte. Nach elfjähriger Haft wegen Eigentums- und Gewaltdelikten fand er zum christlichen Glauben und fiel durch eine unkonventionelle, radikale Verkündigung auf, die in den etablierten Kirchen teils auf Vorbehalte stieß. Für heutige Bibelleser veranschaulicht seine Biografie eine tiefgreifende Umkehr und erinnert an den existenziellen Ernst einer kompromisslosen Nachfolge.
