URBAN LIGHT MINISTRIES FOUNDER ELI WILLIAMS

As a very young man, Eli Williams was a professional singer and entertainer. After leaving that field, he held various sales positions until settling into a career in broadcasting. In the late 1980s, Williams and his wife Judy accepted their calling into Christian ministry and began their charitable outreach work as Lifeline Ministries.  Christian broadcasting, The Sonshine Clubs children’s ministry, and feeding the hungry were among their first endeavors. They formerly organized as Urban Light Ministries Incorporated in 1995, with Eli as President and Judy as Secretary/Treasurer.

He continues his community involvement with Simunye which focuses on racial reconciliation, serves on the Interdenominational Ministers Fellowship board, the Clark County Family Services Planning Council, and the board of Ohio Practioners Network for Fathers and Families (OPNFF).  An ordained minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1997, Williams is a pastor at New Hope Church in Springfield, where he and his wife of nearly 38 years, have resided since 1985. They have three sons and four grandchildren.
