Aunty Jean Phillips, Billy Williams and Graham Paulson
Friday night the 14th of May saw history in the making. For only the second time in the Baptist Church in Queensland (the 5th in Australia), an Indigenous man was ordained into ministry. Congratulations to our good friend, Billy Williams of Jisas Wantaim.
It was particularly powerful and meaningful to have the first Indigenous ordained Baptist Pastor in Graham Paulson present along with long time campaigner and advocate for Aboriginal ministries, Aunty Jean Phillips (see photo).
Billy is married to Vicki and they have 3 children – they currently live and minister in Brisbane, Queensland. Billy is originally from the Kamilaroi people of North-western New South Wales and he now helps lead Jisas Wantaim, an organisation that seeks to equip, empower and enable a network of Indigenous ministries.
