He attended Greensville County\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublic Schools and graduated in June 1982. He grew up in a Christian home with\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea praying mother and father. They went to a powerful sanctified Holy Ghost-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efilled church called Rising Sun Holiness Church of Emporia, Virginia, under the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eleadership of Eldress Lillie P. Williams. It was there along with other churches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunder Pastor Mother Williams that William Holmes witness the supernatural\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epower of God working among the saints of God. William would see how devoted\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehis mother was to serve God and how she put in him to love the Lord and serve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehim with a perfect heart. She would pray faithfully calling on God from her bedside. She would talk to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehim about Jesus. His father would provide for them and love them. He would read the Bible to them at\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enight. His father would also pray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he went to church, he saw the saints of God act the same as his mother and father. He\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econcluded that this was real because they held up holiness more important than education or anything\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eelse in this world. They were happy people to be free from the world of sin. They gave up the world and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edressed and look like the saints of God. They kept their testimony year after year. William knew these\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epeople were real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen William was six years old, he was stricken with a serious illness and placed in the Medical\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollege of Virginia Hospital Richmond, Virginia. His father called Mother Williams, who prayed for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehim, and God wonderfully brought him out. Even the doctors who attended his case said, \"It was the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehand of God that brought him out.\" William devoted his heart to the Lord and got saved, sanctified, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebaptized by the Holy Ghost filled and fire at the ages of thirteen to fourteen years old. He was nourished\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the Word of God under his pastor, Bishop William H.

Easter, pastor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof New Jerusalem Holiness Church of Garysburg, North Carolina.
