ALUMNI Alumni in Action From the United States to Ethiopia, three alumni are following God's call on their lives. Bill Harding (1978) | MASTER OF DIVINITY Bill Harding and his family were recently recognized by the United States Congress for their work in Ethiopia. Upon graduation from Denver Seminary, Bill spent five years as a pastor in Illinois. In 1983, Bill, his wife, Grace, and their three children moved to Ethiopia with Serving in Mission (SIM). At that time, Ethiopia was a communist dictatorship, so Bill entered as a water engineer. As he provided clean water to individuals in Ethiopia, he was also given the opportunity to introduce many to the "Spring of Life," the Lord Jesus Christ. Along with serving as an evangelist, discipler, and church planter for eight years, Bill served as outreach administrator for SIM in Ethiopia's capital city, Addis Ababa. Bill and Grace currently live in North Carolina, where he serves as USA director of public affairs for SIM. His focus now as a conference speaker is mobilizing churches, laypeople, and students to engage God's heart for the nations. He and his family recently returned to Ethiopia for the dedication of Harding Bible School in Yirgachefe, where they were able to see the fruit of their overseas ministry.
