Our second drive took us closer to London. We found our way to the offices of the Cliff Richard Organisation where we met and had a long lunch with our old friend, Bill Latham. Cliff wasn’t in but we did say hi to Gill Snow who is now Bill’s Personal Assistant. We met both Bill and Gill when they worked at Tear Fund in what seems like another life! It must have been 30 years since we had been face to face and we enjoyed the time to reminisce, to recall friends and to reflect on the way Father has led us all over the years.
Bill was the first Tear Fund staff member from the UK who visited the Aussie rebel child. He was a gracious ambassador. Over the years we enjoyed our communication and friendhip lover the miles with him.
A article we read on the intenet told how Bill was the guy who was slipped into the car with Cliff Richard when one of the Shadows pointed Cliff into an interest with Jehovah Wintness teaching. It seems that God used Bill to encourage Cliff to set his eyes on the centrality of Jesus. Bill and Cliff have remained friends and friends of Jesus! Cliff or Sir Cliff has written the preface to David Pawson’s autobiography.
It was great to touch base with Bill again!
