Johnny Williams - Testimony and Bio

Johnny and his wife Amanda have been married for 42 years and have four married children and eight grandchildren.  In 1992, about a year after the shocking death of his dear brother Barry at age 29, the Lord graciously saved him under the preaching of the word at Trinity PCA in Jackson, Mississippi.

In 2002 Johnny began teaching Shotokan Karate as an outreach ministry of Trinity.  In 2010 he left his job of nearly 19 years to start Sons of the King (SOK), a gospel centered after-school and summer program aimed at providing mentoring for elementary aged boys.  In 2015 Johnny began doing jail ministry concurrent with SOK and the Karate outreach.  It was at this time that the Lord gave him a strange, unexpected love for incarcerated men.  Following the COVID shutdown, SOK morphed into a jail and prison ministry.

In 2025 Johnny became Metanoia Regional Director for Mississippi.  Currently, along with volunteer help, Metanoia Mississippi conducts Miami International Theological Seminary - Seminary in Prison classes, discipleship Bible study classes, mentoring, and preaching in several institutions across the state.

Johnny serves on the Session of Pear Orchard PCA in Ridgeland, MS where he and his wife are active in ministry.  Johnny is passionate about teaching and preaching, loves to cook, hunt and fish and cherishes time with his grandkids!
