Jesus said, "I will build my church." He did not guarantee that it would be easy. But, He did promise to be with us until the end of the age. The Church will prevail!
Where Faith Lit the Way is a compelling chronicle of the miraculous faithfulness of God in the lives of Gary and Marilyn Skinner who served as visionary leaders at Watoto Church in Uganda and around the world.
Complete with a study guide for individuals or small groups, this book is an inspiring account of courage, obedience, and faith over fear. It's a true story of tragedy turned to
triumph, and a provoking testimony that God can accomplish something marvellous in and through your own faithful obedience to his call.
Within these pages Gary Skinner, founder of Watoto Church and Watoto Childcare Ministries recalls over 40 years of ministry. The mission of Watoto is to celebrate Christ and care for the community.
This memoir is about the fame and glory of God.
The Godly values of integrity, honesty, justice, mercy, empathy, and hard work that the Skinners and Watoto Church instilled and nurtured in me, over the years, account for who I am today and have immensely contributed to my incredible career as a judge in Uganda and a judge at the International Court of Justice. This book is a testament to the potential of a mustard seed sown by the Skinners 40 years ago and is a must-read.

The story of Watoto is a powerful testimony of the power of love without measure. It is worth telling and retelling! I know because I'm a witness to the transformational work of Watoto
in binding the wounds of war torn Northern Uganda.
Norbert Mao, Minister of Justice, Uganda
The Skinners are Apostolic in nature and calling and have inspired multiplied thousands with their courage, capacity, and heart for what is paramount to God's heart. We are confident that this new book will capture the ongoing legacy of their lives and will extend much needed wisdom and perspective to those who seek to journey similar roads.
