Personal Testimony
My name is William but I go by the initials B.J.. I am married to Cathy (1994), and we have five children: Jay (1996), Tyler (1998), Michaela (2004), Daniel (2005), Caitlyn (2010).I accepted Jesus as my Savior at home in 3rd grade after my mother thoroughly explained the gospel. Soon afterward, I was baptized at our local Bible Baptist Church. In the summer of 1986, I surrendered my life to full-time ministry when attending teen camp at Camp CoBeAc. That summer, I enrolled in Christian High School and began my journey to become a pastor. I never imagined God would later call me to serve on the mission field in Tanzania, Africa. After 22 years with BIMI, the Lord is leading me to change fields and pursue a pastorate in the US. My life-long goal is to be used by God to make a lasting difference in His kingdom.
