He was until 2010, a self employed Security Consultant running security and anti - terrorism courses, approved and accredited by both the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA-UK) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). He was forced into retirement due to ill health.
Following periods of fasting and prayer and a few spells in hospital Bill was drawn to attend a church service in a small Scottish town called Wishaw. The Lord had shown Bill that Wishaw was a place dear to the Lord's heart. Bill and Heather began to visit this small church more regularly, even though it meant getting up at 5.00 am every Sunday and traveling across Scotland just to get to this small church. Bill has over the period of the last few year or so been growing into the Governmental Office of a Prophet and also the Governmental Office of an Apostle. Bill has operated in a Prophetic Ministry for several years.
Since original ordination by Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart back in 1989, Bill has been functioning as a Chaplain to many Groups across Scotland before founding in 2007 the Scottish Veterans Association a Charity formed to help ex Servicemen and women as well as their families. Serving as Chaplain and Secretary, until he stepped down in 2010 to concentrate the next phase of where the Lord was leading him.
Following a series of Prophetic words spoken over both Bill and his wife Heather, were lead by the Lord to team up with Bishop August S. Francis of the Tell Them Outreach Fellowship of Network. Since teaming in 2011, Bill has assisted in building and developing Bishop Francis' dream of an on line Bible School. So it was that on 6th September 2011, that Remnant Church Bible Institute was launched.
