Pastor Bill established Metro World Child (formerly Metro Ministries) in 1980 in what was one of Brooklyn’s roughest neighborhoods, most commonly known for its history of gang violence, crime, drugs, and poverty. Pastor Bill has been beaten, stabbed and shot in the face. Despite everyone telling him this could not be done, through all the difficult times, he persevered and refused to leave the area or give up on the children growing up in such an environment. Pastor Bill’s unique concepts of outreach and Sunday School programs, along with training courses and curriculum development, are now replicated globally. This ensures that as many children as possible come under the sound of the Gospel and experience the love of Christ as he did. What started in a small church on a corner in Brooklyn has now grown into an international ministry that reaches over 150,000 children every week around the world in missions such as Kenya, the Philippines, South Africa, India, Indonesia and Haiti. Pastor Bill is an author of several books, including his bestselling autobiography, ‘Whose Child is This?’ He also travels extensively, frequently receiving invitations to churches, conferences, television and radio programs.
