Send Me Where No One Wants To Go! Carole Ward was raised in a missionary home and on the mission field. She shares powerful stories of God's faithfulness and love for His people in Uganda and Sudan! While in Chicago, we had the privilege to film her sharing her story of God's calling in her life "to go where no one wants to go!" We hope this will inspire you! Website: https://www.favorintl.org/ About Carole: Carole Ward lives a life many would not believe is real. She dares to follow God and change nations one life at a time. Hers is the story of one woman’s commitment to her God and to the love for His people. ‍ Her journey and her story began by stepping out in faith when she prayed with a sincere heart, “send me where no one wants to go.” Although she was told repeatedly by US authorities and other organizations she would come back in a body-bag, Carole, through her faith in the power of God has been transforming lives in Northern Uganda and South Sudan for the Kingdom of God for the last 18 years. Sent by God to Northern Uganda and South Sudan Carole Ward is a woman sent by God, driven by His Holy Spirit, and filled with His power in order to transform the lives of the people of Northern Uganda and South Sudan. She has lived the Book of Acts over the last 18 years in ways that have been astounding and miraculous in their dramatic and life changing impact on not just thousands of individual people in these nations, but on their governments as well. It was not with guns or soldiers that God overcame the evil of witchcraft, rebel wars, and unbelievable violence, but with her and her team’s unwavering faith and trust in a God who is stronger than the strongest evil. Sending her where no one wanted to go, God chose a lone woman to go into Northern Uganda into the midst of unspeakable horrors of a war that had gone on for thirty years. For the last two years of that war, she was the only white woman in that part of the country since all other missionaries had fled long ago.

In 1970, Wilson began his career with McDonald’s doing custodial duties and mopping floors for $2 an hour. He got the opportunity to run the establishment when disgruntled employees walked out and was asked to stay on when the former managers returned. After working with McDonald’s for five years, he decided he wanted to open a McDonald’s himself and resolved to meet with McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc about the issue. Kroc agreed to give Wilson a McDonald’s restaurant after a discussion at an annual shareholders’ meeting in 1979, and with capital provided by South Shore Bank, Wilson took a suffering Chicago franchise and turned it around within a year. Wilson, while working at McDonald’s, earned honors attaining the Outstanding Store Award and Top Sales Performer Award. In 1987, Wilson decided to start a television production company, Willie Wilson Productions, and in 1988, he was moved to pursue his faith after hearing the song, “What Shall I Render Unto the Lord?” at his church. He sold his McDonald’s restaurants to dedicate his life to Gospel music and started doing church solos and singing with the Norfleet Brothers. Ultimately, creating four albums: I'm So Grateful, Lord Don't Let Me Fail, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, Through It All and I'll Fly Away. The most recent album, I'll Fly Away is distributed by Universal and is available in stores throughout the United States.

Wilson is the recipient of a Doctor of Divinity degree from Mt. Carmel Theological Seminary, a Doctor of Humane Letters from Chicago Baptist Institute, Honorary Doctorate in Humanitarianism from Swisher Bible College and a Doctorate in Humanitarianism from Denver Institute of Urban Studies and Adult College. In November 2003, the Illinois State House of Representatives adopted resolution HR0491 in the 93rd General Assembly to honor Wilson’s successes as a member of the National Black McDonald's Owner Operator Association and his contributions to his community.
