Brief History
The ministry of today has matured over the past 7 years. It began in the fall of 2015 when Bill Cave was asked to minister at a small Sabbath fellowship in Old Fort, North Carolina. In March 2017 desiring to reach a wider audience, via social media, with the truth; the Facebook page "The 717 Ministries & Health Reform" was started and weekly Sabbath sermons were live streamed from the small fellowship Bill Cave pastored. (To be current with our branding the page name, "The 717 Ministries & Health Reform,” has been changed to “Indwelling Word.”) In the spring of 2018, Bill Cave started working with “Pioneers Health and Missions.” He served there for a year and a half. There in the Lord’s service a request was made to travel to Romania and start PHM European Division.

In 2014, he discovered the One True God message. In 2016 his understanding was opened to the Literal and Historical methods of Prophetic interpretation held by the first generation Seventh Day Adventists. Two years afterward he began his public work teaching at PHM the Philadelphian Church Message that comprises the truths held by Seventh Day Adventists the first 50 years.
