A God Story - About Us
 Bill and Wilma Watson have produced this website to:
A relationship is developed when you connect with someone. Is it possible to connect with and develop a personal relationship with a God who has a plan and purpose for your life? Bill and Wilma believe it is!
An unmistakable inner thought filled Wilma's mind at the age of sixteen. God told her to do nurses' training, two years of bible college and then she would get married and go to Ethiopia as a missionary.
Bill had been a single missionary in Ethiopia for five years when God spoke to him through a strong impression while he was praying and told him he would give him a wife when he returned to Australia on leave. On his way home, to save money, Bill stopped in Singapore and bought the engagement and wedding rings. He had just enough money left to buy a watch. The name of the watch was 'Rebekah'. God spoke to him again as he was reading the story of Rebekah in the Bible, and said "Just as I led Abraham's servant to find a wife for Isaac, I will lead you to your future wife." (Genesis, chapter 24)
Upon arriving in Australia, Bill went to visit the bible college where he had trained. On the way, Bill heard an inner voice saying, "She is in the college." He prayed, "Lord, let it be the first girl I meet." Wilma was the first girl he met!
They were so sure of God's plan for their lives that the next time they met they were engaged and three months later married.
When they arrived in Ethiopia, a thought flashed into Bill's mind that they were to work in an isolated town called Waka, two days journey south west of Addis Ababa, the capital. They prayed together that God would confirm this by having the leaders of the Mission approach them with the idea. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door of the mission headquarters where they were staying. The director of the mission announced, "I was preparing a talk in my office and I had this strong impression in my mind, 'Go ask the Watson's to go to Waka', so here I am!" During their ten years in Ethiopia, Bill and Wilma saw thousands of people's lives changed through a personal relationship with God.
Bill and Wilma are now Directors of Prayer Australia. Prayer Australia works with Christian churches to encourage people to connect with God through prayer. They want people to pray because they believe God answers prayer!
In the mid-90's Bill and Wilma were reading together from the book of Isaiah in the Bible. When they read "You will be a light to the nations, revealing truth to the nations", the verses 'stood out' more than the other verses, and they knew that it was God speaking to them. At that time they had no idea how God was going to allow them to share his truth in many countries. In 2003 they met a Christian cartoonist and the idea began to form - a website that would be seeker-friendly, easy to understand, inviting, fun to use, both unthreatening and non-compromising in its message.
Bill and Wilma want everyone to know God's purpose and unique plan for their lives. They have found in seeking to do what God has planned for them fulfilling, challenging, rewarding and fun! They have four children and are still very much in love!!!!!!!!
