Dr. Bill Greenman
Bill Greenman graduated from Florida State University in 1976 and entered into the professional circus world with his wife Meg, who graduated from FSU in 1975.
...
In 1980, after his own miraculous healing from double pneumonia, Bill began to experience dramatic manifestations of the Holy Spirit after Circus Alleluia's performances.During these times thousands of miracles took place as he and members of his troupe prayed for people to be healed and delivered from Satan's hold, some of whom led hundreds to Christ sharing their miraculous testimonies.Then in late 1988 the Lord led the Greenman's to end Circus Alleluia Ministries.
In spring 1989 Bill and Meg were introduced to the brethren at Metro Christian Fellowship in Kansas City and moved there in spring 1990.Soon after arriving Bill was asked to join MCF's staff as an associate pastor.Bill functioned primarily as a counselor during the next two and a half years, with an emphasis on personal deliverance ministry.This was also a time when Bill's prophetic gifting took a profound step forward and has since become a major facet of his ministry.
In summer 1992 the Greenman's and the leaders of MCF felt the Lord directing Bill to resign his pastoral position and enter the corporate business world.That year Bill helped a friend with the beginnings of a manufacturing/retail company, which boasted two million dollars in sales within the next 12 months.In 1994 Bill became involved with Mannatech Incorporated, a nutraceutical company, and began leading recruiting/training meetings across the USA.In 1994 the Greenman's moved to Dallas, Texas and Bill became Director of Promotions for Mannatech.Fourteen months later Bill resigned to devote full time effort to helping ministries supplement their incomes through Mannatech, building a sales force of over 400,000 world wide.
In summer 1996 the Lord instructed Bill to revise his book, "How To Find Your Purpose In Life," published in 1987, retitling it, "Discover Your Purpose!Design Your Destiny!Direct Your Achievement!"
...
Bill's time is now divided between building these two businesses on several continents.
In autumn 2007 Bill completed and began publishing his How To Find Your Purpose In Life curriculum for youth.This 6 Module, 24 lesson curriculum is designed to take senior high home schoolers, Christian high school students, youth groups, and individuals, from A-Z in their pursuit of their purpose.The accompanying Teachers Manual/Leaders Guide helps instructors take their young people through the process.The goal of this new youth arm of Purpose International Ministries is impart to youth a 40 year strategy to help them find their purpose and live their destinies in God as the potential leaders of the nations as they grow into adulthood.
In 2001 Bill was given an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity by Life Christian University (LCU) in Tampa Florida for his life's work in ministry and received his earned Ph.D. in Practical Theology from LCU just over a year later.He also holds a Masters degree in Pastoral Ministry and a Bachelors degree in Biblical Studies from LCU, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Speech Communications from Florida State University.Dr. Greenman's Purpose Destiny Achievement course is also part of the LCU curriculum for second year students.
Bill and His wife Meg, now live in the Nashville, Tennessee area.
