Bill and his wife June have been married for 56 years and they have been blessed with three children and 8 grandchildren. Bill also has been a Christian for 56 years. He received Jesus as his Savior at the age of 23 while living in Lynn, MA. He had rejected Christianity and became Agnostic by the end of his college years, however he was challenged in this through a small Bible Study. The leader spent many hours answering his theological questions. After being in the study group for awhile there was a communion service. Bill was driven by the Holy Spirit to go home, kneel beside the bed and gave his heart to the Lord. Everything changed then, and he knew he had to live his life for the Lord from that moment on. Bill is retired, and he tries to use his income to advance the Lord’s work. He and his wife enjoy taking their grandchildren, two at a time, on fun, education trips each summer. His hobbies include working in the yard. He has his wife enjoy a ministry of healing prayer which they do at Adventure Christian Church, which is available free of charge to anyone who has a need and requests healing prayer. His Spiritual gifts are exhortation and teaching. His favorite Scripture is Romans 8:33-34, “Who will charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.” What Bill loves most about Adventure is the illumination of the gospel by Pastor Rick. Rick is always on point, brings relevant Biblical illustrations, is never boring, and is clearly completely dedicated to preaching the Word with conviction and excellence.
