"God the Father chose me, David Robert, before the foundation of the world, though I did not realize it until I was 29 years old. That was 30 years ago when I came to the knowledge that I was a wicked, wretched sinner and I deserved to go to Hell. John 6:44 says, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” The word draws in the Greek is the word Helko, which means to drag. I had no plans on becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, but God the Father had other plans for my life.
In 1989, at Kransberg Castle in West Germany, I came to the knowledge that Jesus Christ redeemed me, having taken all of my wretched sins and nailing them on the cross. Romans 8:1 reads, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
The Holy Spirit brought me to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:21 says that we are to have, “Repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” The Holy Spirit gave me a new heart, changing my heart of stone to a heart of flesh, washing me clean from the inside out. I was a new person with new desires. Ezekiel 36:25-27
My studies are through Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and the Master’s Seminary.
In 2010 the Lord allowed me to get cancer, and it was a blessing. I learned about biblical evangelism at that time, and life has not been the same. I am now a full-time evangelist, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ door to door, at Mardi Gras parades, fairs and festivals, in the public schools, at Nicholls State University and Southeastern Louisiana University (taking an Acts 17 approach), and the New Orleans Saints games on Garot Street."

“Bill’s goal with SFOI and the GWP has been to mobilize the next generation of George Whitefield’s.

Biblical Theology plays a crucial role in preaching, as it seeks to uncover the overarching themes, concepts, and purposes of Scripture and how it points to Christ. By understanding the overarching themes and motifs in the grand narrative of the Bible, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the continuity of God's message across different books, authors, and genres.
This helps us interpret and connect various passages and themes across the entirety of the Bible, allowing us to present a holistic view of God's character, his plan of salvation, and our role in his story.
Additionally, grounding our preaching in a solid Biblical Theology foundation can help avoid theological errors and pitfalls which diminish exalting Christ and showcase a greater, deeper Gospel connection to those we preach to.
