Welcome to Dancing on Water

Hi, I’m Bill. I am the founder of Dancing on Water. I was born in Lebanon to Lebanese parents and was raised in Australia from the age of four.

My encounter with “the” living God took place in my early twenties. From that time, the Lord has enabled the reorientation of my thinking and has transformed my life so much that I am no longer the person I was! 

Dancing on Water – Living Above Life’s Circumstances” is a collection of short faith-inspiring articles that are born from my 40+ years journey with God as pastor at several churches in Australia and Cairo, and workshops facilitator at churches in Cyprus, Nigeria, Jordan, Poland, Wales, and Lithuania.

These “life-tested” articles are intended to inspire existing believers to want to live 100% of their lives publicly and unashamedly by faith in honour of God. They are also intended to interest not-yet believers to take a closer look at Christ, and the Christian faith. If we let our friends “see” God in us before they hear of God from us, they are likely to find Christ irresistible enough to want to follow Him with their lives!

All of the posts and articles presented to you on the DOW website – and through our subscribers mailing list – are testimony to the goodness and greatness of God – a God who is worth knowing – “the” God whom I gladly commend to you.

To receive my weekly reflections, straight to your inbox, be sure to subscribe… they’re free! And, if you value them enough, please share them with your friends.

Contact me if the DOW team can be of help to you in your life and service to God.

P.S. My goal is to write 400+ articles before March, 2028!

I find Bill’s articles to be of great value to living in a broken world.

I find them inspiring and lifesaving words from God. The testimonials that are delivered are from real people and are reflections of what God can do in your life if you listen.

It helps to live as Jesus wanted us to live.

Bill’s experience and wisdom from life makes his Blogs based in reality. They are relevant and practical for the reader.

After reading, I go away thinking I’ve got to change, or I’m on the right path, or I’ve got to tell others about this. Bill’s Blogs are building me up in mind, heart and action.

One of Bill’s intentions for writing his Dancing on Water articles is to “inspire existing believers and to interest non-believers.”  I fall somewhere in between, as a lazy worshipper who put the enjoyment and the challenges of everyday life ahead of my faith. 

While I am a work in progress and a very new student, Dancing on Water and Bill and Beryl’s friendship and guidance has given me a renewed enthusiasm for Bible study and further reading. I feel an increased sense of peace in my life.

“Dancing on the Water” is always profound without being obscure.  The ideas are not rehashed thoughts.  Bill’s insights are unique and always grounded in Scripture. 

I look forward to “Dancing on the Water” because it challenges me to examine my thinking and living as a Christian.

You know how you get when you have a good book and you don’t want to put it down – well I can assure you the “Dancing on water” articles create a similar response. I have learnt so much from these articles and often refer to my Bible to confirm the given perspective. What I like about the author’s explanation is that it helps me in my understanding of what is written in the Bible.

This has been extremely helpful to me.

I find myself truly blessed to have met Bill in person. His articles are a true reflection of his heart toward God and love for mankind. Reading them refreshes my soul.

In a generation filled with so much lies and darkness DOW is a great reminder of the investment God has made in people like Bill to bring light into the world.

I’ve been reading Bill’s Dancing on Water articles from the first issue.

The content is always thought-provoking and in true Bill style, is succinct, straight to the point, and fluff free. I look forward to reading each week and invariably use the short punchy devotional as a mid-week check in my walk with God. Keep dancing Billy.

Every week, I eagerly anticipate reading the Dancing on Water blog. It’s a truly refreshing and wonderful devotional to start my mornings with. The nuggets of wisdom I find within the blog posts stick with me throughout the week, providing me with encouragement and spiritual strength in the midst of a world that can often feel discouraging and disheartening.

I pray that God continues to bless the Dancing on Water team and use them to further His kingdom.

Each week, I look forward to Pastor Bill’s articles. His wealth of biblical knowledge not only satisfies my spiritual needs but that of my congregation also. I have preached several times from the articles as serial teachings and have used them in the training of my leadership team. I liken my sitting down to read Dancing on Water to Mary, the sister of Martha, who wisely sat at Jesus’ feet to hear Him speak.

I recommend that every article be preserved and passed down to the next generation. DOW is indeed a reservoir of God’s timeless truth for a timeless generation.

I look forward to reading the DOW teaching each week as it is biblically based, and reminds me of who God is, all Jesus has done for us, and how I should be living as a believer in Him with the help of His Holy Spirit.

Bill has a wonderful way of putting God’s teachings into the common man’s simple language, which conveys God’s truth in a refreshing way. I have found them so helpful that I have printed each issue and stored them in a loose-leaf binder.

The articles are lovingly straight forward–no grey areas, no need for extra thought … just truth from the Bible as it is written, but delivered with so much care. The subjects are relevant, easy to read, and I always learn something new.  Many times, I have been convicted through the articles as though Pastor Bill was speaking directly to me.
