Wilkinson was born on September 4, 1947, in Kearny, New Jersey, the son of James South Wilkinson and Joan M. Heddy.
Wilkinson graduated from Northeastern Bible College, earning Bachelor of Arts in 1969 and Bachelor of Theology degrees, then he received a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1974 and finally Doctor of Divinity from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary in 1988.
After earning his doctorate of divinity, Wilkinson established the Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, utilizing a study method he had developed while still a graduate student.
Among Wilkinson's many works is a book that has become an international best-seller: The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life. Jabez, the thirty-fifth son of Judah, had a favorite prayer that Wilkinson discovered more than thirty years ago in 1 Chronicles 4:10. The publication of this book has been met with a certain amount of controversy. Erin McClam, writing in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, noted that "one camp of theologians believes Jabez is stunning in its selfishness." Wilkinson told McClam, however, that because of The Prayer of Jabez, "millions of people are discovering prayer." Judith Cebula, writing in the Indianapolis Star, commented that, with millions of copies sold since its release, The Prayer of Jabez "has catapulted an obscure character from the most obscure part of the Bible into the prayer lives of evangelical Christians nationwide."
Although the controversy endures, several religious leaders find that the book is personally satisfying, while at the same time it encourages their congregations to seek prayer.
Wilkinson continues to fulfill his religious calling by writing books, giving speaking engagements - he has addressed 350,000 men across America in three years - producing video seminars based on his conferences, and teaching.
In 2002, Wilkinson moved with his family to South Africa and started an organization called "Dream For Africa." In that, Wilkinson launched "Heart for Africa," which mobilized volunteers to plant backyard vegetable gardens for orphans and the hungry. He also launched a movement to recruit college students to conduct AIDS training in high schools.
Wilkinson founded "Teach Every Nation" (TEN) in 2013. TEN was formed to provide "innovative, practical and culturally relevant training" for pastors and leaders in the global South (i.e. areas of Africa, Asia, and South/Central America). Training is provided through simulcasts, as well as in-person courses on TEN's training campus located in the Waterberg Biosphere of northern South Africa.
