For those of us who have known him for decades, the news that Bill Wilson has suddenly departed from this life, came not just as a surprise, but also a shock. In our lifetime, we have met few who have accomplished more. The Wilson family has planned a Celebration Of Life service for Brother Wilson on Saturday, April 9 at the Abundant Life Church of God in Lakeland Florida. The viewing is at 4pm Saturday and the Memorial Service begins at 5pm. Further details about the arrangements and accommodations in the area, can be found at this linke: www.actscelerate.com/viewtopic.php?t=85086

Upon our return to Lakeland from 2years of ministry Aurora/Chicago area, one of the first people I met was Pastor Wilson. I attend Abundant Life, as Pastor Stewart has been a mentor and spiritual father to me since I came into the COG from a charismatic Presbyterian church in early 1998. It was as I was walking across the back office parking lot that he came out of the office building (before the move), introduced himself, and spent some time talking with me. That was in mid-May. In the almost 11 months that have passed since we moved back, Pastor Wilson was one of the men I truly appreciated. I truly wanted to spend some more time with him. His missions work was exemplary. His love for the lost was inspiring. He had just returned with a team Abundant Life workers from a trip to El Salvador. I'm shocked and saddened. I just saw Pastor Wilson on Wednesday, at a special one-night revival with Jack Coe, Jr. He was praying with the saints around the altar. Shaun, my friend, praying for you, your Mom, Kevin, Chad, and Keri. God bless you, and may you find His comfort, brother The World As I See Itworldjeffreysees.blogspot.com/Revuriah's Facebookwww.facebook.com/people/Jeff-Richard/1226257444Jeffrey David Richard's Myspace Musicwww.myspace.com/547856946

Rev. Wilson has one other son, named Todd. Thank you to those praying for the family.

I've traveled the world with Brother Wilson. I will miss him. What a great example of integrity! To Shaun and all the Wilson clan, I offer my condolences geraldabreu.infoNearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.Abraham LincolnThere are two ways to enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

What a shock. I was blessed to be called by Bro Wilson to do the NY Camp Meeting Children's church on Long Island and later to be allowed to be the Bible teacher at his youth CAmp.I never saw him again but followed his ministry. He was a very impressive individual, and man of God. He will be missed for sure. The family have our prayers of support Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Very sorry to hear of his passing. Definitely one of the good guys

Thank you to everyone who has reached out in love and support over the last few days. I've been checking in on Acts a few times every day even during this difficult time as some of his friends are active on Acts-celerate. Your warm kindness and fond memories of my dad have made the process a little easier. I'm not quite ready to write my own tribute yet, but here's one that my brother Kevin posted on Facebook that I thought some here who knew my dad might enjoy reading. He used some of the same exact language I had been thinking about.
