We are blessed to welcome our precious latest, our dear William Ryle, born January 30, at 3:09 p.m., to Ashley and Andrew, and measuring 7# 7oz. and 20″ long.

You are named for two giants of the faith- William Tyndale, who gave his life for translating the Bible into English from its original Hebrew and Greek texts, and William Wilberforce, social crusader who fought most of his political career for the liberation of black slaves in the British realm… and won! Your middle name is taken for the 19th century British pastor, bishop, and theologian, J.C. Ryle.  It was said of Ryle that he was “bold as a lion for the truth of God’s Word and his Gospel.”  This is our prayer for you – boldness all your days for God’s Word and the Gospel of truth.
