Robert was born in Ottumwa on October 10, 1948, the son of George and Sara Lemley Green. He graduated from Burlington High School. Bob then graduated from Iowa State University in Architectural Engineering. He was employed at Rudi-Lee-Dreyer & Associates in Ames until 1992. Bob then became International Ministries Coordinator for BILD (Biblical Institute of Leadership Development) International. Bob was a member of Oakwood Road Church, where he was very involved and enjoyed great friendships, learning, and ministry.
Bob is survived by his uncle Reed Green of Iowa City, Iowa; aunts Marilyn Dunwoody of Atlanta Georgia., Margaret Monroe of Washington, Iowa, and Mildred Schoemaker of Washington, Iowa; several cousins; his church “family,” Oakwood Road Church in Ames, Iowa; and many international church leaders around the globe, who considered Bob a beloved brother.
Bob was a single man who focused his life and resources to further the progress of the gospel in his church and around the world. He enjoyed a full, fruitful, and satisfying life as he used his gifts through BILD to serve international leaders in their training and church-planting efforts in Albania, Angola, Australia, Bahamas, Benin, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, Congo, France, Ghana, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Portugal, and Sierra Leone. Bob was just an ordinary person who because of his commitment to a vision and his eagerness to serve, within that vision, made a very significant contribution with his life and will be missed by many worldwide.
