Zack Wilson Named as New CEO for Josh McDowell Ministry 

Plano, TX – Josh McDowell Ministry, a Cru Ministry, transitions to a new CEO effective January 1, 2023. 

Zack Wilson joined Josh McDowell Ministry in 2018 to usher in the next generation of communicators. While studying business management, God captivated Zack’s heart for the world and reoriented him toward vocational ministry. Since then, Zack has helped launch and sustain Christian movements in Central Asia, Richmond, Virginia, and now with Josh McDowell Ministry. Over the last five years, Wilson has led the Global Events and Speakers teams at Josh McDowell Ministry, which is headquartered near Dallas, Texas. 

Duane Zook, who is exiting the CEO role to serve as the Ministry’s Executive Vice President and Director for Global Strategies and Partnerships, says Wilson’s demonstrated abilities have capably prepared him for the CEO role.

 “Zack has exhibited a mature walk with the Lord, a commitment to Cru’s mission, and a clear understanding of the Josh McDowell Ministry’s role in that mission. He has led strategically while collaborating in an environment that has enabled our Ministry team to thrive,” says Zook. “We look forward to God using Zack to lead and position us for effective Kingdom ministry in the coming decades.”

Zack Wilson is optimistic about the future. “I believe that Josh McDowell Ministry is well positioned to have significant influence on the current generation and those to come. And I am humbled to help Josh lead into the future,” says Wilson.

Josh McDowell, founder, states: “Zack has qualities that our ministry has been built upon for almost 60 years. I am looking forward to walking through this next chapter of Josh McDowell Ministry with Zack, serving others… until the whole world hears about Jesus.”
