Jonathan Williams served as a missionary with the
International Mission Board’s Xtreme Team in the
jungles of Peru for two years. It was there, lying
under a mosquito net in a hut in the middle of the
Amazon Jungle, that Williams began to write his
first novel,
Jungle Sunrise.
Living with a previously unreached indigenous tribe, the Amarakaeri, Williams experienced first-hand the beauty and danger of native life as he had the opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, hunt with bows and arrows, fish with spears, navigate the rivers, and encounter every aspect of the tribe’s culture. This breathtaking scene of the Amazon serves as the backdrop for Jungle Sunrise.
Williams, 31, writes and lives in Houston, Texas with his beautiful wife, Jessica, and daughter, Gracie. He is the pastor of Wilcrest Baptist Church, a multi-ethnic church representing more than 40 different nations. His passion and desire, for his writing, is to inspire readers with creativity and truth.
