From the worst slum to glorious salvation

Through the generosity of a teenager thousands of miles away, Dr Richmond Wandera was lifted out of extreme poverty. He’s now a church leader committed to leading his fellow Ugandans away from the prosperity gospel and toward biblical truth

When I was eight years old, my father was shot three times and murdered in the presence of my mother. On that day, I lost them both; my father physically and my mother emotionally. She was never the same again. I remember coming home from school to find blood all over the place. It shattered our home. 

Three months after my father was killed, we were kicked out of our house and ended up in the notorious Naguru slum – one of the worst slums in Uganda. It was a place where dreams are killed, and lives are ended in ways that are atrocious.
