William Delbert Bell

I have fond memories of the times we met with Bill and Cathy in France. He handled our finances and even got us a loan for a downpayment on a house. We are grateful for his life spent serving Christ and fellow workers.

Forty years ago I was a young, green missionary at a meeting of mission leaders in France and feeling quite out of my depth. During a break, Bill invited me to go for a walk. His good-humored words of encouragement and challenge were just what I needed at that moment, and they encapsulate all my memories of him - wise, generous, smiling. I am very thankful for Bill´s friendship and example. - Phil Linton

Good but all-too-brief memories from the later 1980s.
