The Williams Family
About Michael Williams:
I was born in McMillan, Michigan to Pastor and Mrs. Paul Williams. My father has been the pastor of Northstar Baptist Church for 37 years as of July, 2012. I received Jesus Christ as my Saviour while at a revival meeting when I was five years old. I surrendered to be a missionary at the age of nine while attending a revival meeting preached by Wade Eddie. A few months later, a missionary on his way to Africa came to our church; It was then that I knew that God was calling me to Africa.
About Brooke Williams:
I was born in Memphis Tenessee to Robert and JoBeth Hooker. Due to complications at my birth my mother and I almost died, but God spared our lives. When I was three years old, my father moved our family from Tennessee to Indiana so that he could attend Hyles-Anderson College. At the age of seven, I trusted Christ as my personal Saviour. At age eleven, I was in a serious car accident and almost died, but once again, God spared my life. My mother has reminded me of this many times, telling me, “Brooke, God spared your life twice for a very special purpose.” Quite possibly it has been this saying that has been my inspiration for serving the Lord. On deputation God again spared my life when I rolled our vehicle on the way home from our first meeting, and again I was reminded that God has a special plan for me.
About our Family:
Brooke and I were married on June 09, 2001 and we both graduated from Bible College the following Spring. Since then, God has given us four boys to raise for Him as we have served in Ghana, West Africa for almost three years and Germany for nearly two years. God has used us to help start the Independent Baptist Church of Kumasi, Ghana, to start the First Baptist Church of Awafo, Ghana, and pastor the Word of God Church in Nuremberg, Germany. Now God has directed us back to Ghana, West Africa, where we plan to servehim for the foreseeable future.
