Abandoned as a Child

As a child, Pastor Bill experienced the pain and hopelessness of abandonment. His Mother left on a Sidewalk (Pavement) He sat and waited for three days straight. She never returned. A Christian gentleman stopped and picked him up and sent him to a youth camp It was here that Bill’s relationship with God began.

Pastor Bill established Metro World Child (formerly Metro Ministries) in 1980 in what was one of Brooklyn’s roughest neighborhoods, the Bushwick community, most commonly known for its history of gang violence, crime, drugs, and poverty.

Due to the success of Metro’s programs, President George Bush, Sr. appointed Pastor Bill to serve on the National Commission on America’s Urban Families in 1991. Metro’s influence was also identified as a factor in the noticeable reduction of crime in the Bushwick.

Today, Pastor Bill travels widely, speaking in churches nationally and internationally each week. He is frequently featured on Christian television networks throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. And his programs, curriculum and techniques are being duplicated in cities all over the world. However one thing remains the same: Pastor Bill is there in the heart of the urban jungle in Brooklyn, driving the school bus to pick up boys and girls for Sunday School.

Pastor Bill will also be ministering at the 2 morning services at Metro Africa on the 6th of October 2013, the First service at 8:15am and the Second service at 10:30am.
