Writer
“Never have I received such a revelation of what Jesus has done for us. The book approaches the suffering of Jesus in a completely new way.”
Robert
God has given Wilkin the talents and gifts to teach difficult subjects in a simple yet powerful manner, through the power of the Holy Spirit. He manages to share biblical themes in such a way that hearts are touched, and lives are changed. The bestsellers about The Seven Wonders of the Cross forms the basis of all his other books:
- The Seven Wonders of the Cross (book)
- The Seven Wonders (glossy)
- The Last 18 hours (workbook)
- A Sevenfold Gift (40 days of Lent devotional)
- The Seven wonders in Jerusalem (travel guide)
Speaker
“I have rarely heard anyone speak with such passion about Jesus. I cried during the entire conference, it touched me so deeply.”

“Close to people, close to God” is in a few words Wilkin’s desire when he speaks of God’s perfect love, which becomes tangible in the powerful message of The Seven Wonders of the Cross. Wilkin speaks at leaders’ conferences worldwide training them to spread the message of The Seven Wonders of the Cross.
Bridge Builder
Wilkin believes that unity in the Body of Christ is the key to transform our cities and nations. He loves to build bridges between churches and encourage leaders worldwide to join the movement of the Holy Spirit, who is bringing the Church together.
He initiated the national movement known as We choose unity in the Netherlands and hosted the National Day of Abasement and Reconciliation in The Hague, which was broadcast in part by national radio and television. National leaders from almost all denominations (the Roman Catholic Church, the Dutch Protestant Church, Evangelical churches, Pentecostal churches, Baptist Churches, and others) plus three thousand Christians confessed to God and each other their guilt over speaking and dealing negatively with one another in the past.
This day marked a breakthrough for the unity of the Body of Christ in the Netherlands. The fruit of this movement is that friendships have formed between the national leaders of different denominations. Every year there is a retreat where they deepen their friendships, share their faith, and take on new challenges together.
