The Disciplemaker is a powerful short film that tells the true story of transformation, discipleship, and hope inside Walker State Prison. Once a place marked by violence and despair, Walker became Georgia’s first and only Faith & Character-Based prison—reshaping lives through intentional mentoring, community, and the message of Jesus Christ.
This film follows the journey of men who have been changed from the inside out, showing how one man’s obedience to the call of disciple-making can impact generations—even behind prison walls.
That same spirit of transformation lives on today through Bunk 57 Ministries and DiscipleMaking Mission. Carrying forward the legacy of Walker, Bunk 57 equips believers, diverts youth from prison, and walks alongside returning citizens—proving that discipleship doesn’t end at the prison gates. It continues in families, neighborhoods, and communities, changing stories and destinies for generations to come.
