Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Uganda, who are mourning the
death of an evangelist who led many Muslims to Christ.
Islamists are suspected of the murder of Samson Nfunyeku. His body was
found close to his home in Kibuku district after he had taken part in a
church-organised debate with Islamic scholars. The discussion had to be cut
short after tempers flared.
Islamists threatened Samson after a similar discussion four months ago.
‘They gave a warning that such debates were not good for Muslims,’ one
participant told Morning
Star News.
Samson’s body was found with head injuries; he is believed to have been
strangled. He was 59, had seven children and was the grandfather of
16.
At his funeral, a church leader commended Samson for his courage and
passion in sharing his faith with Muslims for more than 30
years.
