Bill Jamerson was not always focused on following God. He forged his own path for years, determined to play sports and fight for his country in World War II. But everything changed that day when he felt the pressure of a Jeep on his chest! At that moment in time, life stopped and Bill clearly saw that his own path no longer mattered.

From then on, Bill experienced a whirlwind adventure beyond his wildest dreams as God molded and shaped him for His service. From participating in the Battle of the Bulge and tending wounded soldiers on the battlefield, to preaching the gospel and pulling teeth in Bolivia, to developing programs for children and youth, to praying for the sick and witnessing miraculous healings, Bill has spent his life working for the Lord.

Share in the joys and struggles with Bill and his family in It's Great to Be Alive… Because He Lives, and catch the vision of how exciting life can be when you live it to the fullest and enroll in the Lord's army!
