OUR STORY
Favor was birthed by prayer in 2002 by Ugandans and founder Carole Ward- a 3rd generation missionary, amid civil war led by Joseph Kony and the LRA. Favor
was founded to see God's transformation of leaders and the region. Through God's
miraculous proliferation of the Gospel, discipleship, and mobilized public prayer
movements, the previously unconquerable child soldier armies of the LRA, self-
evacuated leading to an uneasy peace by 2006. The LRA's highest general, who
converted to Christianity and attended Favor's Bible school, credited one of Favor's
specific prayer gatherings for ending the war.
