Williams hopes to set a good example by displaying the qualities of Christ on the stage.
"It's not about me, it's about HIM," she said in a statement. "Anytime I have an opportunity to share the love of Jesus, my heart is full and my cup runs over. Sharing the Light of the world at Mrs. World is just amazing."
Williams earned her Mrs. America 2014 title on Aug. 28 this year after competing against 51 contestants who represented each state, ranging in age from 20 to 50. Her win marked the first time an African-American had won the coveted title in the pageant's 37-year history. Over the past few months, Williams has used her Mrs. America 2014 title to raise awareness of human trafficking. She recently partnered and performed with the film "8 days" and she is an Ambassador of Hope with S.H.A.R.E. Together International.
Preliminaries for Mrs. World 2014 began on Monday, Nov. 17 with contestants representing nations from across the world in hopes of winning the international title of Mrs. World. The last round of the competition will take place in Solomons, Maryland at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
