Our Vision
Every child is important and has a destiny; every youth is the next world-changer. Our responsibility is to empower them with the tools that will grow them into the person they were created to be.
Our Story
Our journey began when we began going into the inner-city to minister to the children and youth. We sadly observed how they were devalued and left for the world to destroy. Girls of a certain age are told by their mothers, “If you want something to eat, find a guy to sleep with and he will buy it for you.” Most families lack a father in the home. 6-year-olds walk around the community carrying their infant sibling. All of our senses were assaulted by these and many other heart-breaking atrocities. Most adults tell us, “That is not my problem.” I realized it might not be our problem, but it certainly is our opportunity.
We have been there working, crying, loving, holding, smiling rejoicing, feeding, and housing these youth and children when everyone else in their lives turned away and left them to fend for themselves. Life after life has experienced a demonstration of the love of God on many levels. And God is not done yet!
Meet the Team
In every company or organization, the most precious resources are the people who have partnered to see the vision and mission fulfilled; The Jesus Way is no different.
The team that works with us has taken the vision as their own and have embraced the youth as literally their own relative or sibling.
Through them all, God is doing incredible things in the youth!
Travis & Yvonne Stewart
Founders & CEO
Travis and Yvonne, married in July 1995, have been in ministry together from the beginning. Their heart is to impart the love of God to all they come in contact with, focusing on outcast youth and children. Since Travis and Yvonne believe God calls families together to serve Him, their three sons have grown up in the ministry and learned to serve in various capacities throughout their lives.
Raymond, 19, currently Lives in Ocala, Florida working while going through flight school, with the desire to one day soon, return to Jamaica and open an airline to help support the ministry. Raymond has a servant’s heart to help in any way needed, and so stays quite busy between school and ministry activities.
Russell, 20, is in charge of making everyone feel welcomed and loved; he also serves the Lord in the dance and in the general maintenance of the ministry facilities. He love to sing, and testify of what God is doing.
Roger, 21, has blessed the ministry by serving in every known capacity his favorite of which was leading praise and worship vocally, and leading the youth in games. After attending and graduating from Victory Bible College, Roger enlisted in and is now serving in the US Marine Corp.

Hyacinth Roberts joined with us as she was going through our Bible school a few years ago. Hyacinth wanted to be a part of the ministry to the youth, and was well-received as a mother-figure that all the youth just want a hug from.
Our goal to disciple youth to be the salt and light in their schools and community happens because of this team. We believe that the next revival will come from the youth, and we are doing our part to empower the next generation to be ready for their part.
Church Leadership
Jesus Way Church
Jesus Way Church is a modern-day church of Acts where individual growth is drawn out of each member of the body. We believe that the Word of God is true and everything else must line up with it.
