Meeting Bill Glass

A couple of weeks ago, our local staff took a trip to a steakhouse for a Christmas lunch. It was a time of fellowship and celebration, but the best part of the lunch was that Bill felt well enough to attend! I've been working for Behind the Walls for about three months now, but hadn't met Bill until then. I had the privilege of getting to know his heart and humor, and it gave me a new appreciation for this ministry.

Despite not being 100% healthy, Bill made sure to make everyone at the table feel loved and appreciated. Along with me, there was one other staff member there who he hadn't met yet, and he had both of us tell him our story and how we came to be involved with Behind the Walls. It was apparent to me that Bill is a man who loves God and loves people.

It is an honor that I get to work with a ministry whose founder has been passionate about it for decades. His leadership has helped make Behind the Walls a ministry that I believe the Lord will continue to bless for many years to come, long after Bill goes home.. We'll have a mission as long as there are people who don't know Christ, and we'll have the passion to accomplish that mission as long as we can learn from Bill's lasting example.

Teammates, though he says he's feeling stronger, continue to pray for Bill's health as it remains true that nothing in this life is certain. Also, continue to pray for this ministry, that the Lord would bless it spiritually and financially in this new year.
