20 Year Ministry Update!
Dear Partner and Friend, September 30th 2022
Warrior Nations is celebrating twenty years of being a 501 c-3 nonprofit outreach ministry. Someone gave me and Christy a word when we first stated in ministry that we would have thirty years’ worth of ministry in five to seven years. Wow, were they right! God has been so faithful over these years. We have been able to conduct revivals all over the nation from coast to coast. The Lord has opened a door for us to make appearances on almost every Christian TV network. We have traveled to Central America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean many times, preaching the good news of Jesus Christ. The Lord enabled us to write 12 books with five different publishers. Two of these books went into 1200 Family Christian books stores across the nation, Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million.
We have also been able to start four very significant outreaches. In 2007, World Harvest Outreaches, which are larger crusades and international outreaches, was birthed. In 2008 The One Hour Prayer Alliance was started. It is an international prayer group and holds prayer events on college campuses all over the nation and still prayers an hour a day every day at the prayer wall in the WNIM headquarters and has for over two years. In 2010 the Warrior Nation Fellowship, which is a ministerial network, came to pass. This network help start 45 ministries and churches and has had over 75 ministries and ministers connected to it over the years. In 2014 the i3 Ministry centers, which were in three states, were started and the Greenwood, SC location is where Warrior Nations main headquarters is located. All four are still very active and bringing body wide ministry.
We have seen God move the mountains and we have walked through the valleys. We have had times when we have thought we were born for such a time as this and we have had times when we thought God why are you allowing this to happen. From the very beginning the devil has tried to stop this ministry from carrying out its mission of sharing the gospel “from the neighbors to the nations” and raising up Joel’s Army. I can tell you stories of how right before, during or right after an outreach event the enemy would do something to “slow the go”. I’ve been detained twice overseas for preaching the Gospel and preached my way out of holding. I’ve been confronted by the Taliban, confronted by witches and confronted by religious leaders, as well. Everything I love has been hit at some point. My family, friends, finances and faith have been tested and tried. But I also need to tell you that I’ve seen the lame walk, the deaf hear, the blind see, the broken whole, the sick healed, the addict free, the hopeless hope and the lost saved. I’ve seen 100’s of devils come out of people and 100,000’s of people repent and come to the cross. There is nothing like seeing a person filled with the Spirit of Jesus Christ for the first time!
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
I give God thanks for all! Somewhere in eternity God has a providential plan for everything that takes place in our life. God doesn’t wish or will evil to happen, but He works all things together for our good! I want to thank every person that has had a part in sending us, praying for us, sowing into trips or projects and simply supporting our family when we are home.
All of these things would have never happened without faithful prayer partners and financial partners. God has used you over the years to be a sense of encouragement and strength to help us keep going. Because of your partnership we all have a reward in Christ through these outreaches. We did it as a team and I wanted to thank you. As an expression of my gratitude we wanted to give you a prayer journal and pen. Prayer is the way to get victory and this ministry has been committed to the ministry of prayer all through these two decades. We simply say thank you! I believe the Lord is coming soon and now is the time for God’s people to be gathering the harvest for the King. While we are waiting on the Lord’s return We are committed to seeing the years ahead even more fruitful than the last twenty. Thank you in advance for standing with Warrior Nations Intl. Ministries to gather the harvest for our King.
Gathering the Harvest and Advancing His Kingdom,
Shawn Patrick Williams
