Bruce Wilkinson is an American Christian preacher, speaker and writer best known for his book The Prayer of Jabez. He also founded Walk Thru the Bible, an evangelical Christian educational organization, with Howard Hendricks, as well as Teach Every Nation, an Evangelical parachurch organization.

Wilkinson was born in New Jersey to Joan and James Wilkinson. He graduated from Northeastern Bible College with a B.A. and Th. B., Dallas Theological Seminary (Th. M.) and Western Conservative Baptist Seminary (D.D.).

Wilkinson started his career as a college professor at Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland, Oregon.

In 1976, he launched "Walk Thru the Bible.” He also launched and led WorldTeach.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, Wilkinson traveled to Russian Federation to teach, in conjunction with screening the 1979 Jesus film. He worked as chairman of Co-Mission, an education ministry in Russia until 1996.

Wilkinson also produced a film on AIDS called Beat the Drum.

In 2002, Wilkinson and his family moved to South Africa, and founded an organization called "Dream For Africa". As part of this new project, he launched "Heart for Africa", which mobilized volunteers to plant backyard vegetable gardens for orphans and people living with hunger. 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. Training is provided through simulcasts and in-person courses on TEN's training campus located in the Waterberg Biosphere of northern South Africa.
