Brad Williams

As a 16-year-old who loves playing golf, Brad Williams enjoys spending his time on the golf course. When being asked where the farthest place he has traveled, Williams answer “Africa.” Williams traveled to Kenya in Africa every three or two years in the winter with his dad on a mission trip. He has lived in Virginia his whole life that is why he is always happy to travel to a different country. Even though he and his dad only stayed in Kenya for a week he enjoys every moment of it. “Oh I love going there, I always want to go back. The last time I was there, we help build a bridge over the river. We try to help out as much as possible, I mean over there they just so poor, anything you could do right now could help them.” said Williams.  

Everyone has their sad moments in life, for Williams it would have to be when he went to visit the orphans in Africa. “It’s just the look they give you, they’re so helpless and you wish you could help more” said Williams. When he was at the orphanage a little 3-year-old boy came up to him and had asked Williams to pray for him because he was going to die sometime next week. “That mentally was tough for me, it’s like who am I to pray for you?” said Williams.  “Even though it was the hardest 16 hour flight, flying from Scarlett North Carolina to London to Kenya, it was worth it” said Williams. For him it was one of the most beautiful places he had ever visited in his life.

Though Williams is busy with his job as a dish washer, he always finds time to play golf. “Yeah, golf is my main hobby” said Williams. He attends Hidden Valley High School and is a member of the golf team as well. Williams has a family of four, his mom, his dad and his two sisters. He was born on November 22, 1998 and is the youngest of his family. As a kid he was always considered to be athletic. “I have played football, baseball, I have played them all.” Said Williams. Overall, in his spare time, William enjoys playing on the golf course and traveling to Africa.
