Bill Cox is a classic example of how God can use a self-described “less than everyday person” to advance His Kingdom. Beginning with nothing more than just a conviction to go there, Bill provided the leadership required to establish El Ayudante, Inc. as one of the most influential NGOs serving Nicaragua. As León Mayor Tránsito Téllez presented Bill the Key to the City of León before a special called meeting of the city council, he publicly proclaimed that El Ayudante had won the hearts of the people through the ministry of its mission teams. During the ten years Bill served as El Ayudante’s Director of Missions for Nicaragua, the NGO’s ministry was recognized by national leaders including President Enrique Bolaños and Aminta Granera Sacasa, Director General of the National Police. In addition, El Ayudante’s child protection center became recognized by the Ministry of the Family as a model for Nicaragua. As residents of Nicaragua for over three years, Bill, along with his wife, Teresia, represented the United States Embassy in Managua as consular wardens to the Department of León under two U.S. ambassadors. Bill is a native of Brownsville, Tennessee where he served his community in numerous capacities including as an elected member of the Haywood County Commission. In 2002, the Cox family moved to neighboring Madison County to join like-minded families in planting Fellowship Bible Church of Jackson where Bill served as an elder. Today, Bill resides with his wife, Teresia, and their daughters, Rebekah and Jennie, in Cumming, Georgia close to their son, Walt, and daughter-in-law, Rebekah.
