Bill’s story:
I can truly say that God has blessed me all of my days. From birth, to this present time and, (by faith I believe), to the day He calls me home He has been intimately involved in every step I have taken. Born into a large family of 8 children, parented by a faithful man and woman of God, Mel and Gladys, God blessed that that was my beginning. Mom and Dad raised us in “the training and admonition of the Lord” and at 8 years of age I asked Dad to lead me in prayer to ask Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. It would be great to say that it was "smooth sailing" from that moment on, but as is true of all of us there are challenges to our faith, pitfalls that ensnare us, and spiritual growth that our patient, Heavenly Father desires to see take place in our lives. My time in the Navy, for a short 3 year enlistment, was a time that God used to solidify my faith in Christ Jesus, to help me discover that it was my faith and not my parents faith that I needed to live out.
