Pray For Pro Life Friend Bill Connor And His Battle Against Leukemia!
Bill Conner, a South Dakota native, came from humble beginnings, having been conceived in rape and growing up in less than perfect conditions. However, through God’s great plan and Bill’s willingness to listen, he has become a man with passion, a man with a story and the heart to openly share it. Bill was excelling through life despite his childhood as he began the American dream by getting married and having a family. Again, his life was shaped through times of despair when his son was diagnosed with cancer, and later lost the battle. Despite these struggles, God has continued to reveal His plan for Bill’s life by uniting his love for buses and his compassion for children through the Angel Bus. The Angel Bus was inspired by difficult times, providing transportation to children fighting major medical issues, allowing them the ability to get medical treatment that may not have been available to them otherwise. The Alpha Center has also been blessed through God’s plan and provision. Bill’s Angel Bus is now known as the Fleet for Little Feet, which is extension of the Alpha Center. This bus now provides the same services as the Alpha Center but has the ability to meet clients where they are at, typically in remote locations in the tri-state area. Many lives have been saved because the Fleet is there to support, encourage, and educate men and women involved in an unexpected pregnancy. There is a part to this wonderful, God-written story that you don’t know. Bill survived a bone marrow transplant that was needed after finding out he had leukemia, the same disease that took his son. Bill persisted, God provided and the cancer went into remission. However, his leukemia is back. He knows that God’s plan is always at work, yet it is hard to understand and accept. Bill is taking immediate action by seeing his doctor for further treatment. Today, Alpha Center is asking you to lift up prayers for a man that has given so much to touch countless lives for God’s glory, and his wife, Nola, who continues to support and encourage him during this time.
