Bill Wilson

Bill Wilson (* 1948) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor und Gründer des christlichen Kinderhilfswerks Metro World Child in New York. Bekannt wurde er durch die Entwicklung mobiler Strassensonntagsschulen und seinen langjährigen Einsatz für benachteiligte Kinder in sozialen Brennpunkten. Für Bibelleser steht sein Werk für eine praktische Zuwendung zu Notleidenden, wird nach seinem Rücktritt im Jahr 2024 wegen unangemessenen Verhaltens jedoch auch an den Massstäben geistlicher Integrität gemessen.
