Ministers ordination

This question is out of curiosity, does anyone know who David Wilkerson was ordained by? How about C.J. Mahaney? Lastly, does anyone know of any well known ministers who started a work, such as pastoring, without ordination?

David Wilkerson was ordained by the Assemblies of God at one point. I don't know if he still is or not.

Leonard Ravenhill was never ordained with any denomination, and he pastored several churches. Art Katz was also not ordained, and he started a church. A lot of pastors within various non-denominational churches often lack any official ordination.

Thanks a lot KingJimmy, I thought David Wilkerson was ordained by the AG but wasn't too sure.

I think Dwight L. Moody was never ordained.

That is correct.
