John Wimber

John Wimber (February 25, 1934 – November 17, 1997) was a musician, former Quaker, an early, pioneering pastor of charismatic congregations, and a popular author and thought leader in modern Christian publications on the third person of the Christian Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit's perceived action in modern churches through miraculous phenomena referred to as signs and wonders. Wimber was a founding leader of the first Vineyard church, a Christian movement that began in the United States and has become, as of 2017, a global denomination.
