kind of suffering and pain yet has come through it . Someone who has experienced the love and hope of a renewed life in Jesus and can bring that same hope to others .
The Process & Progression . 50 years ago Pastor Bill took his first steps into full-time ministry ; he started his ascent on what would become his mountain of ministry – founding the world ’ s largest
Sunday School . As he embarked on his ministry journey he was given the right equipment and tools . He even had a few key Godly men guide him along the way ; helping him , believing in him and pointing him in the right direction . And from that point on , from his “ base camp ” so to speak , he climbed .
However , the path that he chose to take was anything but the easy route .
