Kris Williams

Chief Financial Officer
Kris Williams

Kris has long been passionate about serving missionaries and ministry leaders in an administrative role. She began working with a Christian non-profit early in 2000 when she was challenged to take on the accounting function and business operations of a small mission organization that was going through some changes.

In 2005, she was challenged to look into starting a new type of mission organization. Over the next 15 years, God blessed the organization and it grew beyond expectations.

In late 2021, Kris was once again challenged to look into starting another mission organization.  Again, God opened doors, provided new opportunities, leadership, and direction.  Kris helped launch Serving Workers for the Harvest on January 1, 2022!
