The Four Corners story is a God story from the very beginning until present.
My name is Jimmy Sprayberry. I’m from Wadley Alabama and God called me to follow Him wherever He led. After the call, God gave me a burden to help the poor of the world.
After 2003, God continued to open doors for me and gave my friend and pastor, Paul Wilson, a dream to start a ministry to help people in small churches do short-term mission trips.
So, that year we formed a 501(c)(3) and named it Four Corners Ministries.
Soon after, I was deeply moved by a video of the persecuted church in Sudan and asked God for the opportunity to go and minister to the persecuted Christians there. God answered that prayer with an invitation in November of 2004 to go to Sudan.
On my flight, I met an Ugandan pastor who lived in Kampala, Uganda. In 2007, due to this friendship, Four Corners Ministries began working in Uganda as well as continuing to work in the southern part of Sudan.
In 2009 we believed God was calling Four Corners to buy land to start Abaana’s Hope. We searched diligently for three years. In 2012 Four Corners purchased the land where Abaana’s Hope is currently located.
At Abaana’s Hope we now have a Church, Primary School, Child Development Program, Medical Clinic, Farm and four missionary families who have moved to Uganda. We built and operate the Women’s Refuge Center, where we help women who are in dire circumstances and have built a Pastor Training Center to train local pastors to minister to their own people.
Abaana’s Hope ministers both physically and spiritually to some of the poorest people of the world by providing education, medical care, and jobs.
