About My Family
We are the Williams family—Brian, Heather, Tyler (8), and Levi (4). Heather and I have been married for 18 years. God has given us a heart for the people and land of rural Alaska, and we want to show those in rural Alaska the love that God has shown us all these years.
In 1996, my grandmother, who was my example for Christ at a young age, brought me to Alaska to visit my pastor uncle at age 11. While I did not see it for many years, God used that experience to plant a seed in my heart. God gave me a heart for the land of Alaska.
Heather and I moved to Alaska in 2014 and lived in Fairbanks, Tok, Skagway, and Anchorage. God used those four and a half years to draw us closer to Him and forced us to grow in our faith. Now, God has called us back to Alaska with our children, and we are excited to see God work through this calling.

About My Church Plant
God has called us to the Copper River Valley of Alaska. He has given us a heart for the people of rural Alaska and a vision to disciple and shepherd others, leading to planting churches in communities who do not currently have a church. To accomplish this mission, we founded Fields of Alaska Ministries (FAM) in October of 2025. The Mission of FAM is to engage the community with the gospel of Jesus, practice cultural discipleship and to equip the body of Christ for the work of service.
The key to this vision is to reach the young people of the area and to disciple them to build a firm foundation in Christ. Fields of Alaska has the dual meaning of the Lord’s fields found in John 4:35, as well as the fields of a summer sports ministry to engage the youth in the area.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
