Bill Anderson Leadership
Colorado Springs, CO
Dear Bill:
When someone has had such a far-reaching impact on your life and the way you do ministry, sometimes it is hard to put your finger on the pulse of it all. But the number one thing that God used Bill Anderson to show Jeff Townsend is that people are important in ministry.
Bill, you have a marvelous way of moving things forward and getting things done while at the same time assuring people that they are important to you and vital to the process. I am afraid I must confess that until I ran into Bill Anderson, people tended to be obstacles in my way. I hate to admit that, but it’s true (and probably not any kind of ‘news flash’ to you). Now instead of seeing people as an interruption to my work, I see them as the center of my work. I’m not yet completely sanctified in this area, but I am converted!
This has made an immeasurable difference in the way I do ministry and relate to my wife and family. I am grateful to God for your investment in me.
Very sincerely yours,
Jeff Townsend
