For those whose introduction is not here, they are in the process of putting it together and should be here in the near future.
William Funkhouser MDiv, ThD – President / Founder
I started True Devotion Ministries in March of 2019 to serve God via the passion God has given me, that being teaching and discipleship. I grew up in Puyallup, a small town in Washington State and graduated from High School in 1975. I spent over 40 years in the computer industry as a COBOL programmer, but I knew God was calling me to serve Him with my all for the remainder of my days. I am excited about where He is taking me and my prayer is that I will be a faithful and effective servant of God.

He seeks to advise and learn with others seeking the same goal of simply serving others, proclaiming GOD’s glory over all things, and seeing with others what GOD reveals next!
