Robert L Williams, DMIN

Dr. Robert L. Williams is Founder and President of the local and global missions organization Miracle Making Ministries, Inc. He has trained pastors on five continents and in 34 countries. He is also Executive Director of Druid Park Community Health Center. Established in 2004, this unique healthcare facility provides no-cost primary care for thousands of uninsured and underinsured patients, using retired physicians in the community who continue their practice by serving the least fortunate.

Dr. Williams has created local and international missions models for the local church to engage with the lost, both at home and abroad. These models provide effective, relational means for evangelism by meeting people’s needs for the sake of showing and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. This gospel based approach is centered on serving the poor as Jesus served, and working with other community entities to create vital partnerships with the common goal of serving the needy and marginalized in society. Evangelism is always the key goal.

Dr. Williams holds to the principle that the role of the church is to affect its community in the way Jesus did with His earthly ministry. New Testament ministry requires believers to leave their seats and go to the streets with the gospel. Christianity, the way practiced by Jesus, was a street level religion. The modern, urban and suburban church of today has reduced Christianity to a seat level religion. For a majority of Christians in the U.S., research shows that most of their time, money, and activity promoting their faith takes place on the church campus in a sanctuary seat. That model is counter to that of the ministry of Christ.

Dr. Williams has planted and pastored a number of churches in Georgia. His current church, The PATH Worship Center in Evans, Georgia, is built on expository preaching and practical ministry. This church is an example of what can happen in small, traditional churches when the biblical principles and practices mentioned in Not On My Watch! are accepted, employed, and executed. This approach to New Testament leadership in the local church proves the vast local and global impact a body of Christ can have on the world when intentionally focused on doing ministry as Jesus did. In this book, you will learn how the principle of "no discipleship, no leadership," can change the spiritual trajectory of a body of believers. Moreover, you will see that theology not wedded to practical application is at best religious, and at worst ridiculous.

Dr. Williams and his wife Theresa have two children, Rania and Jared, a son-in-law, Terence Frederick, and two granddaughters Ava Grace and Emma Catherine.
