I believe that the Bible is God's powerful unchanging Word that shows the way of Salvation and man's eternal destiny.

Rev. Bill Absolom

He also studied at Ontario Bible College, Toronto and completed other studies through correspondence. He is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.

Bill joined the staff of Crossroads Christian Communications Inc. (100 Huntley Street, Christian television) in 1982 where he served for close to 10 years in fundraising.
