After serving in France for 15 years in evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training, Bill and his wife Debbie, have been on special assignment at Bethel University for the last 21 years as Missionaries-in-Residence. At Bethel they have overseen the Missions-Discipleship House, the Student Mission Fellowship, and past Missions Conferences.

You will often find them discipling, mentoring, and counseling one-on-one with Bethel students and grads. Over the last ten years, they have seen over 1,500 faculty, staff, and students find freedom in Christ through the Breaking Free 101 series which they developed. They also aid Bethel MKs (Missionary Kids) in their cross-cultural adaptation to America, and they reach out personally to students on the campus of Indiana University South Bend.
