Alton Williams of Huntsville took a semester of Spanish in high school "many, many years ago." But when the Jehovah's Witnesses began offering Spanish lessons in 1998, Williams signed up.

"The Spanish population was just growing here in Huntsville," said Williams, a physics professor at Alabama A&M University and a Jehovah's Witnesses minister. At the time, the closest Hispanic congregation was in Fort Payne.

"They wanted to try to see if anyone would be willing to learn Spanish and try to study the Bible with the Spanish population here," he said.
