Son of a Preacher, Mon…

Like his father, Newton, Garron Williamson went through the steps to become a man of the cloth. In addition to preaching every Sunday at Joshua Kingdom Ministries on Acklins, Garron wears the hat of a school bus driver and also fills the role of manager and head guide at Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn.
