A documentary, filmed in 2020 in Uganda, portrays the inspirational life Journey of Pastor Wilson Bugembe.
The Yellow Boy is part of the Worship Factor documentary series, a collection that celebrates the cultural diversity of church musicians and worship leaders from around the world.
Bugembe’s episode in the series explores his remarkable journey as a celebrated gospel artist from Uganda and leader of Worship House Church in Nansana.
As an orphan who lost his parents to HIV, Bugembe found himself surviving on the streets of Kampala, earning him the nickname “yellow” due to the colour of his shirt.
For over three years, he relied on discarded food and sought shelter under a tree. However, his life underwent a miraculous transformation and today, he is celebrated as a prominent figure in his country and actively engages in various charitable works, inspiring others with his story of resilience and hope.
Congratulations Pastor Wilson Bugembe
