NOTES

Reverend Bill McDonald described his first near-death experience as an 8 year old child, when he was hospitalized with multiple serious illnesses. Most notable were the sensations of light, of feeling recharged and of being filled with great love.
That first NDE gave him a glimpse into his future and provided great comfort even in times of extreme peril.
He describes his interest in numbers and astrology and how those concepts played into his life story.
Reverend Bill detailed a potentially harrowing and destructive experience in Vietnam which was averted due to his powerful sense of intuition.
He believes the current generation of young people, which he describes as having more light in them, offer us great hope for the future.
He talks about how every one of us is important, using a jigsaw puzzle as an analogy - “everybody has to be there to make the whole… everybody has a purpose".
Our purpose is love, and we are here to love and to serve.
Reverend Bill has written multiple books and is currently working on a collection of stories.
