Family Burned Alive After Choosing Jesus

Jan 7, 2025

Stand with the Persecuted

The brutality is distressing in so many ways …

According to Morning Star News, “A Muslim couple and their adult son who received Christ in November were burned to death on Dec. 26 in eastern Uganda.”

The family had prayed for salvation with some members of a local church who were visiting them at home. They prayed together for the son, who had malaria … and he was immediately healed!

But when a local Muslim found out about the family’s conversion to Christ, he began making threats.

Then, “area Muslims on Dec. 26 set ablaze the family’s house with gas and burned the three members of the family beyond recognition.”

Radical Islamists are always on the lookout for “infidels” — especially Christ-followers who don’t believe what they believe.

It’s a global tragedy … the brutality is not only shocking but is also constant in many areas where persecution has a stronghold.

Today, I urge you to stand with LRI for the sake of our persecuted brothers and sisters who face violent hostility to their existing or newfound faith.

Your gift to Liberty Relief International will help our Christ-centered partners provide resources like emergency food, water, aid, necessities, and access to health care … and even spiritual and emotional support like trauma counseling, discipleship materials, Bibles, and more.

In addition, please pray that the Lord will use LRI — through your continued support — to be a tangible blessing to individuals, children, families, and communities in need in the coming weeks and months.

Please respond as generously as you can to help comfort and sustain members of the persecuted church.

Thank you in advance for your help. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need it more than we can imagine.

In His service,

Mat Staver
