Bishop Aaron Williams Biography

From Crime to Christ: The Redemption of Bishop Aaron Williams

Bishop Aaron Williams, once one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most notorious criminals, now uses his past for a higher purpose. A former gang leader, convicted criminal, and prison inmate, he has transformed his life and is now dedicated to spreading the message of hope and redemption.

Much like his late father, Archbishop Granville Williams, the revered leader of Barbados’ Spiritual Baptists, Bishop Williams is using his testimony to help others turn their lives around. His journey of transformation, from the streets of Trinidad to preaching in prisons and churches across Africa, stands as a powerful example of faith, redemption, and the transformative power of the gospel.

A Dark Past: From Gang Leader to Convict

As the head of the notorious Laventille Posse in the 1970s, Aaron Williams was deeply entrenched in a life of crime. He robbed banks, sold drugs, and participated in kidnapping—activities that made him one of the most feared criminals in Trinidad. Raised in the Shouter Baptist Church, Williams’ early life was grounded in faith. However, his path veered dramatically when his father, who founded the Shouter Baptist Church in Barbados, left Trinidad to pursue his ministry. Williams, left to his own devices, began following bad company, eventually leading him into a life of crime and, ultimately, incarceration.

In 1988, Williams was sentenced to prison with a sentence running until 2055. However, he would serve only 18 years and be released without receiving the brutal corporal punishment that had been part of his sentence. Despite the tough exterior of a hardened criminal, prison was where God’s plan for his life began to unfold.

A Divine Intervention

Williams’ journey of redemption began in the Frederick Street Prison, where he spent much of his sentence. While still involved in illegal activities within the prison, everything changed one fateful night. Williams had a life-changing vision of Jesus Christ, who spoke to him and called him a fool. In that moment, God revealed His plan for Williams: if he preached the gospel, his sentence would be reduced, and he would travel the world to spread the message of hope.

Williams, filled with the Holy Spirit, began preaching to the other inmates. The prison, once a place of violence and despair, was transformed as officers, prisoners, and even the cooks came to witness his powerful message. “Prison is a university,” Williams says, acknowledging the harsh realities of prison life, but also the way it shaped his faith and purpose.

This transformation was not just spiritual—it was physical and emotional. Williams, once a dealer in drugs, now found himself teaching fellow prisoners, leading Bible studies, and even earning his qualifications, including five CXC passes and a doctorate in theology from the University of California.

A New Mission: Serving Others and Spreading the Gospel

Upon his release, Williams knew his life was no longer his own. He was called to serve others, particularly those he had once wronged. “The Lord told me to go back to the same village where I committed my crimes and preach the gospel,” he recalls. His first crusade in his hometown saw overwhelming support, with locals surprised to see the former criminal turned preacher.

His ministry, Divine Problem Solving International Ministry, began in Trinidad but soon expanded beyond the shores of the Caribbean. Williams has traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Southern Sudan, preaching the gospel and building schools, hospitals, and churches to uplift communities in need. He has ministered to prisoners across Africa, baptized many in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and provided education and healthcare to thousands.

His work continues through his radio programs on Street 91.9 FM in Trinidad, 106.3 Ssebo FM in Uganda, and Feds FM in the DR Congo. Williams also teaches and ministers to prisoners in Trinidad’s maximum security prison, where he continues to reach those still trapped in lives of crime.

A Legacy of Service and Faith

The work Williams does today is a testament to the legacy of his parents, who served as spiritual leaders in the church. His father, Archbishop Granville Williams, would have been proud to see the transformation in his son’s life. Despite the pain he caused them during his time as a career criminal, Williams is now fulfilling his calling with passion and dedication. “I regret the pain I caused my parents,” he admits, “but I know they would be turning in their graves to see what I have become now.”

As a married father of five, Bishop Aaron Williams understands the weight of his responsibilities and the impact of his mission. He feels compelled to continue his work in Africa, where the need for support is immense. He has land given to him by kings and governments in multiple African countries, where he plans to build schools, clinics, and churches to help lift people out of poverty.

Partner with Bishop Aaron William

Bishop Williams invites churches, ministries, and organizations to partner with him in this mission. His work is supported by no major organizations, and he relies on faith and the generosity of others to help fund the numerous projects he’s working on. Through partnerships, he hopes to elevate the suffering of millions by providing education, healthcare, and spiritual guidance to those in need.
