Preacher Bill Holeman with Henry and Homer
Bill and Joyce Holeman have been ministering with Kentucky Mountain Mission in Beattyville, Kentucky since 1953. Preacher Bill visits the public schools throughout eastern Kentucky conducting programs for about 40,000 students on a twice yearly basis. The Crusaders gospel team that Preacher Bill leads has changed team members over the years, including many times that Joyce has participated, but he has been a constant for nearly 60 years. "Children" from as young as 75 on down have seen this widely known Christian ventriloquist and preacher as he came to their school. Preacher Bill is still an active guest speaker at churches in Eastern Kentucky and many other states.
Preacher Bill tells his life story in the book The Dummy in the Middle. He has raised over $50,000 since the release of the book for the work of Youth Haven Bible Camp.
