Don Bowles said about his friend, "Bill has a big heart
for missions and souls and is not afraid to speak the truth." His
life goal is to help win the world to Christ.
God has worked tremendously in his life. He is making a
difference in his country, his church, and his school. He is a living
testimony of God's working through a life that is totally surrendered
to Him. |
Henry Varley
said, "The world has yet to see what God can do with, for,
through, and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to
Him."
