After ministering in these three churches, Dr. Cashion studied at the Spanish Language Institute in San Jose, Costa Rica. While in language school, he and his wife started a relief ministry and planted churches in refugee camps for Nicaraguans in Costa Rica and after two years in Costa Rica, the Cashions began service as missionaries in Caracas, Venezuela.

Dr. Bill Cashion is married to his wife Kathryn. They have three daughters: Amy, Missy, and Katie. He strives to live by his personal statement, that is, “to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the Lord’s commandments (Deut. 10:12-13) and in doing so to be a disciple of Christ who will never allow my world to be smaller than the one Jesus died to save.” The mission of Truett-McConnell College is to equip students to make a positive impact for Christ through disciplined scholarship and Christian discipleship.
