A Brief But Sincere Faith

Stand for Those Facing Retaliation and Violence

In a village in eastern Uganda, Wanjala — a 32-year-old teacher at an Islamic school — made a decision that would cost him everything.

On October 4, he became a Christian at an evangelistic event. Just 17 days later, on October 21, four of his brothers came to his school and took him home.

There, they ordered him to renounce his newfound faith. When Wanjala refused, his brothers beat him to death while shouting “Infidel!” — declaring his choice had brought shame to their family.

Wanjala’s story is one of countless examples of believers who pay the ultimate price for their faith in Jesus. In many regions around the world, the decision to follow Christ isn’t just a spiritual choice — it’s a dangerous one that can lead to rejection, violence, kidnapping, wrongful imprisonment, and sometimes death.

Your generous support of Liberty Relief International today helps provide emergency assistance, safe houses, and advocacy for Christians like Wanjala who face severe persecution.

While not every believer’s life is saved from violence — and we mourn this brother’s loss — your generous donation will help protect others who are currently in danger for their faith.

Will you stand with those who risk everything for what they believe? Will you strengthen them as they face hate and opposition?

Thank you for your compassion for the body of Christ worldwide … and for your prayers and generosity on their behalf!

In His Service,

Mat Staver
