Henry J. Williams was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is the son of Dr. H.
J. and Mrs. Julia Williams. He attended Booker T. Washington Elementary
School, Robert Driscoll Junior High School, and Roy Miller High School where
he was very active in basketball and track. He continued his education at
Del Mar College in Corpus Christi.
After serving in the Army from 1963 to 1966, he was employed by a number of
financial institutions and the State of Texas Comptroller of Public
Accounts.
In
July of 1979 he received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. This born
again experience set him free from an addiction to alcohol. This was the
most important event in his life other than physical birth.
Today Brother Henry is employed by the Corpus Christi Christian Fellowship
as the Church's financial officer and the Director of the Benevolence
Ministry to the poor and needy. He also serves as an elder at the
Fellowship. He is an active member of the Board of Directors of the Coastal
Bend Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Center (Charlie's). Brother Henry also
serves on the Northside Committee, which is seeking to improve the lives of
our citizens in the Northside Manor area.
He
is also the chairman of the Christian Spiritual Outreach Committee which
sponsors the Monthly Day of Prayer and Fasting for the well being of our
city, our state, and our nation. These prayer meetings have been conduction
on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM on the 5th floor auditorium of
the Corpus Christi Police Department since May of 1996. Since these prayer
meetings began there has been a steady decrease in all areas of crime,
especially murder.
The
vision of the Christian Spiritual Outreach Committee is that the City of
Corpus Christi would live up to the meaning of its name and become a true
city of brotherly love among all its people.
