You were & still are (w/the videos you left behind) one of the few we have left in this nation who feed God's sheep truthfully from HIS WORD. I know you are overjoyed w/what you are experiencing now. Love you brother & see you soon. Looking forward to "The Blessed Hope"

I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for the humble, honest preaching of God's word by Pastor Bill. As a New Zealand member of the cyber congregation, it was a blessing to see a picture of the Sovereign God being expounded from the Holy Bible.
May the Randles family, and the Believers in Grace Fellowship, find comfort in our Lord at this time.

I pray for God's peace that passes understanding and His overwhelming love and comfort for Pastor Bill's family. I am so thankful to have met and spent time with him and Kris at conferences in their church. From the moment I met them, I was amazed at their warmth and caring towards myself and others. I vividly remember during worship a few years ago, I saw Pastor Bill's arms open wide, boldly singing with his strong baritone in pure joy above the congregation, "I am bound for the Promised Land, I am bound for the Promised Land, Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the Promised Land!" We rejoice in Christ for the countless souls that are also bound for Heaven because of his life, his love and his relentlessly teaching the Truth.

Thanks be to God the blessing of Bill, and His work through him. I started listening to Bill back in 2015 and through the years I came to learn a lot about the Bible from him. Bill had an impact on people's lives I believe across the globe, and he was a blessing to many. For the wife and family left behind, may God be your strength and continue guiding you. When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing it shall be, when we all see Jesus, we'll sing and shout for victory... Love from Kenya.

Thank you so much for sharing this very precious service with us. We were privileged to meet Bill at Hopefield Church in Sheffield, England on two occasions and are part of his cyber congregation. We look forward to meeting him again in heaven. Our condolences to all his family. God bless and keep you.

Dear beautiful believers in Christ and the Randles family, may the Lord comfort and strengthen you during this time. My own heart grieves the loss of a godly man, yet it also rejoices in knowing He is with Christ. Pastor Bill, you will be greatly missed, your obedience has spurred me towards righteousness and made living a life dedicated to God extremely rewarding as I learned under your messages. God did indeed breath his life into your sermons and writing. As it states in Thessalonians...your servant lead life makes me want to imititate your example. I can't wait to meet you in eternity.

Dear Kristen and family,
As soon as we heard about Pastor Bill having to go to hospital, from Lester, we started praying in ernest. We and so many others here were shocked at his sudden deterioration after things seemed hopeful. We will miss him.
We feel very blessed to have met you both on your trips to Palmerston North and to hear Bill teach from the Word concerning the Times we are all experiencing as the Lord's coming for his Bride nears.
He is safe with Yeshua HaMaschiach now and will have heard those words, 'Well done good and faithful servant.' We will see him again.
We will continue to lift you up in prayer for Yeshua's comfort and provision.
May Adonai bless and keep you as you lean on Him.

It was a privilege to meet dear Bill a few times on his tours of the UK, and his lovely wife Kristen too. He was a true and humble servant of our Lord Jesus. May his wife, family and the Church find the comfort of the Holy Spirit at this time and continue in the example that Bill left them. Jim and Linda Neary Ripon, UK February 2, 2022

An apology. I think I got a typo in your Name Kristen though I can't see my Condolence as yet. Often Sites like these allow a review of how the Condolence looks before making a final submission of it. Not so in this case.
My Yeshua bless and uphold you. Jeanette Ansell

Dear Kristin and family (including Pastor Bill's wider church family),
We here in Palmerston North and district started praying as soon as we were notified by Lester. We are so sad at the suddenness of dear Bill's deterioration. We will continue to uplift you in prayer.
We have really fond memories of you both from your visits to us here in the North Island and Bill's wonderful preaching from the Word, showing us clearly where we are in Yeshua's timeline in these critical last days.
We value you both and we know that we will all be together again in the Lord's perfect time. Bill's rich teaching legacy remains for us all and we are grateful. He is in the Lord's presence and in the company of inspired and humble teaching servants who have gone before. We're sure that he has heard the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'
We'll miss him until we meet again in Glory. Jeanette & Gordon

I’ve recently learned of Pastor Bill Randles through a prayer request email. I only wish I knew of him years ago. I have been listening to his sermons on YouTube and he is very strong how he esteems love for the truth and our God. I can only imagine how much more that has grown in the presence of our Lord. He explains scripture so thoroughly and it is incredible my mind has to take a break to digest. Although I never did meet Brother Bill, I absolutely look forward to looking for him and meeting him in the Kingdom. Soon, we will all be with each other brothers and sister in Christ. My prayers are for strength and peace for sister Kristen and family. Thank you Lord for our Brother Bill. He has finished the race. His service and sermons he left for us will continue to plant seeds and bring more to Christ and bless and help many like myself in understanding the things of God - Love to the family. Tracy, Ester and Family.

My sincere condolences to Pastor Bill's family, friends, and church! Bill's joy is complete, his race run, but our world is less than it was.
Much of the man I am today, my walk with Jesus, my worldview were all shaped by Pastor Bill and BIG! Especially that Monday (?) night Bible study back around 1991 on Prairie Drive when a bunch of us ratty high schoolers came around. I am so thankful!
I apologize for not being there Saturday. I fully intended to, but, I had a pretty bad cold chose not to spread it around.

Sincere condolences from my family to the Randle's family and church. My wife and I have listened to Bill's sermons online for the last several years. He was a tremendous watcher on the wall and full of the truth of the Lord. We will miss him tremendously, he was one of the best. Until we meet again Pastor Bill.

To Bill’ beautiful wife Kris, children and grandchildren, it goes without saying how much he loves y’all.
My heartfelt condolences go out to you, his family.
Yes! he’s gone into the presence of Almighty God and sees his saviour Christ Jesus, but, oh! the pain and grief is real down here. Father in the name of Jesus I ask you to comfort and carry his family through this difficult time: until you come back for them, and they all are together again. Amen

Condolences to our dearest sister in Christ, Kristen and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss, but also rejoice with you and thankful to God that Pastor Bill is in a much better place with Jesus walking alongside him in the beautiful gardens of Heaven.
We will always remember the most precious and wonderful times that we had with you while in New Zealand, traveling around the South Island with you and listening to Bill teach and you playing your guitar was such a blessing, honor and a privilege having shared those times with you both.
Blessings in Yeshua

I’m so sorry for the heartbreak Mrs. Randles (Kris) you must endure this side of eternity. Your family has blessed so many and we are thankful for our time at BIG. I’ll never forget Pastor Bill’s comments during sermons about how “it’s better to go to a funeral than a wedding so you consider your end”, that really struck home. Also once I complained about my husband Lane finishing college while working with young kids to raise. He said “if it was easy, everybody would do it”. One more is I was concerned about conflict I was having with my parents at one time and he said “if you are fighting with your parents your life just won’t go quite right”. Your church came recommended to us and it was providential. May the Lord Bless you and your family as you recover until you all meet again.

So very sorry to learn of Pastor Bill's passing. He was one of my YouTube Pastors during the COVID lockdown. I loved his sermons because of the sheer joy on his face when sharing insight from the Holy Spirit. He embodied a child-like faith with simple dignity. Well done, Pastor Bill!

We have treasured memories of Bill and Kristin when for several years Bill would happily come to our small Mission in the North of England all the way from the USA. He was truly a great hearted man and a wonderful teacher and and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our prayers are with Kristin and the family and the church.

Love and hugs for your family, fellowship, and friends for your loss. We never met Bill personally, but we enjoyed his videos, his mild and humble spirit, yet uncompromising preaching of the Word of God which this world has so little of nowadays. Our loss is heaven’s gain. We will meet someday. Blessings from Steinbach, MB. Canada
