Background

Williams was raised in a poor, abusive home by her step-father and birth mother until she was 11, when her mother gave her away.[9][10] After that, Williams went to live with her grandfather, but later on came to live with her aunt and uncle, who became her adopted parents. Because of her childhood turmoil, Williams abused drugs and alcohol but at 18 gave her life to Jesus Christ.[9][10] Williams married Timothy Blair Williams in August 1995 in Stuart, Florida, and the couple's eldest son died at the age of six months, testing their faith in God.[9][10][11] However, Williams subsequently gave birth to a healthy girl and two more boys.[9][10][11] She and her husband currently reside in Stuart, Florida. She is the worship leader at Grace Church in Port Saint Lucie, Florida www.graceworldwide.org where her husband is the Pastor. Together they lead a fast growing congregation that is impacting the world for Christ.
