Farewell, Rev. Williams. It was wonderful to have you as my pastor and spiritual leader for all those years in Yekepa, Nimba Liberia. You and your family were a fine missionaries and set a great example for all other Christians to follow. I still have the Bible presented to me with your signature as a high school graduation gift from Mt. Nimba Baptist Church in 1989. You were indeed a good and faithful servant. May your soul rest in peace. My condolences to Mrs. Williams and the rest of the family. May God give you all comfort and strength during this time.

I attend Williams Blvd Baptist church where Tim Williams is pastor. He produced a great son who follows in his footsteps in bringing people to Christ. I know Earl is dancing in heaven now with all the thousands he shared Christ with. My condolences to his family.
Rev. Jon M. Lord left a message on August 8, 2017:
Earl was an inspiration to me as a boy growing up at New Chapel Hill Baptist Church. I would listen to his talks on Africa and hope that God would never send me there. Lisa and I served ten years in Eastern and Southern Africa! "Well, done. Thou good and faithful servant!"
