Dyfan & Caroline Williams

Dyfan was born into a Christian family in North Wales. He has three brothers. He recalls first being affected by the gospel message when he was a young child. He thanked the Lord for dying in his place and sought God.s forgiveness. This child-like faith developed, and he was baptised upon his profession of faith in Christ as Lord and Saviour just after his fourteenth birthday in Zion Baptist Church, Penycae, and was received into church membership. He studied for a degree in English Literature at University College Cardiff (1987-90), and married Caroline in 1991. He worked for three years in Christian ministry among students (for UCCF) and in 1995 accepted a call to be co-pastor of Grace Baptist Church, Southport, UK. After serving the church there for 10 years he accepted a call in December 2005 to pastor the International Church of Torino.

Caroline was born in Liverpool but grew up in Scotland. Her father was a Baptist pastor in Ayrshire and Glasgow. She has a younger brother and sister. She was first affected by the gospel at the age of 7, when she was convicted that, where she to die as a child, her parents. faith would not be sufficient to get her to heaven. She realised that she had to trust Christ as her own personal Saviour. This faith matured through childhood and she was baptised at the age of 15 in Cumnock Baptist Church, Scotland and was received into church membership there. In Glasgow she passed her Diploma in Occupational Therapy, and began work in a hospital in Lancashire, specialising in Psychiatry. She continued in this work until the family moved to Southport, where she then served in the church.

Dyfan and Caroline have three children: Megan (who died in 2003, aged 10), Lloyd (born 1995) and Sian (born 199.8).
