Brandon grew up in Nebraska and Colorado, then made his way out to Waco, Texas to attend Baylor University where he graduated with a degree in Business Technology. In 2013 he came out to Orlando to begin his career at Disney.

He and his wife, Katie, had a baby boy (their first) in November of 2018. They serve on staff at their church that they helped plant in Clermont. They have a heart for serving the underserved, and enjoy connecting with their community to extend their church’s resources to help meet the needs of those unable to do so themselves. They love living in Lake County, and are also active Real Estate Investors in the area.

Brandon has been walking with the Lord since he was a child, but has never enjoyed such a richness of relationship with Christ as he has experienced alongside his wife as they grow in their faith together. They look forward to raising their son to know that same fullness of life for himself.

He’s thrilled to be coming alongside MVI as they do Christ’s work in our world.

Cynthia Williams was Missionary Ventures’ Chief Financial Officer for nearly 20 years and now serves on the Board of Directors. She is a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. Her passion for missions has inspired her to travel multiple times to Africa, Asia, and Central America to experience first-hand what God is doing through mission outreaches.

Cynthia is also the coordinator for Women Impacting Missions, a new branch of MVI. It started with a simple concept – Looking for a few good women who want to help change the world for Jesus. Cynthia believes women’s role in missions has been under-utilized,  and many women are not aware of the life-changing impact they can have here at home on a global scale.

Besides her passion for missions, she is active in leadership in her local church.  Cynthia has been married to Kevin since 1975, and they have two daughters and eight grandchildren.
