Aaron Wade Williams was born on July 11, 1963, to Reverend Milton "Redd" Williams and Pauline Williams in the Tyler County Hospital in Texas.

Milton and Pauline together were in Christian ministry for 37 years passionately following their calling to all nations with their four children.

At a young age, Aaron was involved in a ministry with the Milton "Redd" Williams Family, and he crossed paths with the Boyd Indian Family, Antone Indian Family, Billy Family, and the Sunrise Gospel Band, Canada. God made way for him to be involved in a Godly heritage from all over the US, however the start of his own ministry began in 1985 when he attended American Indian Bible College. He graduated with an Associate of Arts in Social Work, but returned in 1992 to finish with a Bachelor of Science in Christian Ministry.

Aaron and Kristen had been married in 1992 and he was a great father and provider. One of his greatest joys was raising his two children, Tash and Kelsi, in the way that they should go. He provided a beautiful platform and a life adventure for his children to experience while in ministry throughout the US, Canada, and Alaska. Although he and his wife would part ways, they continued to love and cherish their children together and they were thankful for the love and support even with this new transition of life.
