"I have known Paul Williams for over 40 years. He is a man with a heart for missions and people. It has been impressive to observe his vision as a medical missionary. His experience in over 100 nations with disaster relief work makes him well qualified to speak on the very important and relevant subject of disaster preparedness."

Admiral Vernon E. Clark

USN (Ret.), Chief of Naval Operations (CNO)

“Dr. Paul Williams is uniquely qualified to write a book on disaster preparedness. He has organized and led medical teams, including teams from our own In His Image International, in a number of major world disasters since the early 1990s. From the refugee camps created by the Rwandan Civil War to hurricane-ravaged Central America to tsunami devastation and earthquakes around the world, he has been there. Leading teams into these areas of desperate need and destruction makes him practically experienced so that his recommendations on preparedness ring out as someone who has ‘been there, done that.’ And Dr. Williams in print is like Dr. Williams as a real-life team leader, a man who cares to give God’s very best.”

John R. Crouch Jr., M.D.

President, In His Image International

“The Bible speaks of the shaking of our day. Paul Williams has dedicated his life to helping those in need during their time of shaking. There are very few men alive in the Body of Christ today who have the authority to speak about this shaking from the practical perspective given in Paul's book, When All Plans Fail. This book is written with revelation gleaned from a life of dedication to Christ, study of God's Word, and the experience of ministering to the poor in over 100 nations. I recommend Paul Williams, his life before God, and this book. It is a book for our time.”

Paul Cuny

President, Marketplace Leadership International

“Many of us have gone through our entire lives without having to deal with a major disaster. Paul has purposely put himself in the middle of more than one disaster in order to bring living hope to those in need. Paul brings the healing gifts of a physician, the administrative gift of a leader, and a Christ-like love for those who are suffering. He freely brings these gifts right into the middle of some of the greatest disasters this world has known. His experience in responding to the tsunami of 2004 in Sumatra, Indonesia, alone more than qualifies him to bring us this insightful look into our role and responsibility. Whether man-made or natural, the word disaster seems more and more a part of our life. Now Paul is challenging us to step forward and be prepared.”

“Dr. Paul Williams and I first met when he headed up the pioneer team (I was part of this team) that volunteered to help with the refugee crisis in Goma, Zaire, during the Rwandan war between the Hutus and Tutsis in the summer of 1994. We have subsequently been on teams to East and West Africa. His life and ministry demonstrated the principles of Jesus Christ on each of these trips. His exemplary leadership, coupled with his humility, compassion and knowledge of international and cross-cultural effective disaster management is a great asset to our generation.”

Dora Akuetteh-Saforo, M.D., FAAFP

“Dr. Paul Williams is one of the finest medical missionaries today. We have worked side by side many times in Latin America and in Africa where the needs are overwhelming. He is a tireless and compassionate servant who knows how to minister the love of God through medicine and I am proud to call him a brother and friend!”

"Having traveled with Dr. Williams on several international disaster trips, I can attest to the need for preparation, flexibility, and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit in these situations! These are tremendous opportunities to share the Gospel, and Dr. Williams’ experience and expertise make him the right one to help us all be more prepared for future disaster response efforts."

Mitch W. Duininck, M.D.

Residency Director, In His Image

"Dr. Paul Williams has poured out the Love of Jesus through his medical missionary work in over 120 countries, sacrificing his life in a living testimony to answer the high calling that is in Christ Jesus. Tens of thousands have come to the Lord through his ministry. I have never met a finer man, the embodiment of a true Christian.”

Gabe Rizzi, M.D, General Surgery

“I have known and worked with Dr. Paul Williams for over 18 years in medical missions. He has a deep compassion for the poor and hurting peoples of the world and a heart for them to receive care for the whole person, meeting their medical, physical, and spiritual needs. He has been a pioneer in the development of global medical missions, including disaster relief missions. Providing relief in disasters such as the typhoon in Bangladesh, the tsunami in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, the earthquake in Kashmir, and the refugee camps of Rwanda has given him a wealth of experience from which he can share with us (the reader) about disaster preparedness.”
