Christian Couple Poisoned In Uganda

Be a Lifeline to the Suffering

First …

A Muslim woman in Uganda named Hamiyat purposely poisoned the food of a Christian couple who had shared their faith with her 18-year-old daughter.

Then …

Hamiyat’s daughter, who was six months pregnant, “died the same day after unknowingly eating the food” her mother had poisoned and sent with her daughter to the couple, reports Morning Star News.

Four victims. One needless, senseless tragedy.

Christians in places like North Africa and other hotspots for believers are too often the target of evil and harm.

Hamiyat’s explanation for her actions points to the hatred behind Islam:

“I never intended to kill my daughter, but my plan was to kill the neighbors because of taking my daughter to church during this holy month of Ramadan. Our imam had assured us that when you kill a kafir [infidel], Allah rewards one with a Jannah [paradise].”

Tragedies like these are why Liberty Relief International — with your faithful help — presses on, empowering on-the-ground partners to provide emergency aid and spiritual support for the suffering, survivors of violence, and believers who have nowhere else to turn.

Your tax-deductible gift today will keep the trauma counseling available for those whose loved ones have been attacked, kidnapped, imprisoned, or murdered …

You’ll supply emergency food, water, safety, and shelter to those fleeing violence …

You’ll distribute Bibles and discipleship materials via caring frontline workers who are there, in person, to offer help and hope.

The global church in dozens of nations continues to experience unfathomable depths of abuse for following Jesus. But God is with them in their pain — by His Spirit and through your generosity and prayers on their behalf.

Thank you for standing with the persecuted today.

In His service,

Mat Staver
