Last month, we have witnessed incredible growth across both our prison ministries and the WAY Church network. We are now active in 19 prisons and have established 32 WAY Church Centers. Within those centers, our network has expanded to 948 WAY House Churches—and remarkably, 99% of these house churches were started by former inmates whom we first met behind bars.
This entire movement began with one man: Shabbon.
Shabbon found Jesus at one of our "Prisoners of Pain... God’s Grace" events. After accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, his life was radically transformed. Within a year, he became a leader of a prison cell church, and shortly after, he was miraculously and unexpectedly released.
Shabbon returned to his village a changed man. Through the power of God, his mother—a local witch doctor—gave her life to Christ and donated the first plot of land for our very first WAY House Church. This sparked a divine fire that ultimately birthed the WAY Churches, the Mega Church, and the WAY of Jesus School in Uganda.
Last month, our dear brother Shabbon went home to be with his Lord and Savior, who undoubtedly greeted him with open arms. While we mourn his loss, we celebrate his incredible legacy.
Read His Legacy & More Stories: You can read the full eulogy written by Evangelist Bryan in May's newsletter, along with more transforming testimonies from the widows at the Mega Church!
What started with a single spark in a prison cell has grown into a spiritual wildfire, and we are humbled to simply facilitate the work God is doing. Your generosity keeps us on the front lines of this historic harvest—reaching the lost, restoring the broken, and empowering leaders like Shabbon.
