He is continuing his studies at Southern Seminary. William has extensive experience with missions. From 2003-2005, he served as a Journeyman in Zimbabwe with the International Mission Board. He taught missionary kids for the first year and spent the second year teaching True Love Waits in government high schools. Upon returning to the United States, William served as the Missions Pastor of College Heights Baptist Church in Gallatin, Tennessee.
He and his wife Charis enjoy backpacking, day-hiking, photography and travel—especially in southern Africa.
William and his brother and sister grew up in church. “I am one of those 'every time the doors were open' kind of people. But even though I had the right kind of head-knowledge, did all the right religious things, and lived a decent moral life, I was still miserable and without purpose.”
“My relationship with Christ truly began in the fall of 1994, my senior year of high school. Since that time, all things have become rubbish when compared with "the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." He has given me true joy, real peace, and eternal purpose.”
