Lester Wilson

Lester Wilson was Canadian born and was converted and then called to pioneer work in the area of North Carolina in the 1930's. One of his campaigns was held in Clayton, N.C. in the year 1931. This was a five week campaign with very good attendance. At the close of the campaign, fifty-one persons professed faith in Christ. Lester Wilson continued in the area for the next three years, with ministry of preaching, teaching, and assisting a small growing assembly of about ninety believers. In the year 1939, Harold G.Mackay took over these tasks, and carried them forward for the next four and one half years. By the year 1946, the assembly was in the hands of local elders, and had grown to be strong and vibrant.

Over the ensuing years, Lester Wilson was used of the Lord to plant six healthy assemblies in the North Carolina area.

• Raleigh
• Burlington
• Winston Salem
• Siler City
• Greensboro
• Durham

Listed on the Voices For Christ website are five hundred and three messages by Lester Wilson. These were donated personally by him, and comprise his own personal life collection. Of special interest is the series entitled "How He Led Me" which narrate his conversion, calling, and ministry in the South.

Lester was called home to be with his Lord while living at the Pittsboro Christian Village, in Pittsboro, North Carolina. He was a true pioneer in every sense of the word, and will always be remembered for his strong gospel preaching, which he brought in a clear straight forward manner.
