WILLIAMS FAMILY
Scott and Melissa Williams are the proud parents of Sophia and Hudson. Two thriving but sometimes difficult teenagers who have so far successfully navigated culture shock, transition, and language learning alongside their parents and served for the last fifteen years as POAC Global Workers.As a family, they spent 12 years ministering in El Salvador, Central America but moved to Barcelona, Spain in 2019.
They are actively involved in marketplace ministry and help manage a small cafe called Frenesi, develop church expansion processes for new plants and mentor young national leaders.
Building community within the neighbourhoods where they both live and work is paramount to the Williams. They believe there is always room for one more at the table and by one conversation at a time, Spain will know the love of Christ.
