PASTOR, 25, KILLED HOURS AFTER CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM DEBATE
A young Christian pastor in Uganda was killed just hours after taking part in a public debate where two Muslim women reportedly converted to Christianity.
Pastor Bernard Mulongo, 25, traveled to Mbale on July 18 for an open-air Christian-Muslim dialogue. A pastor who witnessed the event said Mulongo’s arguments persuaded members of the crowd, including two prominent Muslim women who publicly converted.
According to witnesses, an imam who participated in the debate became angry and confronted Mulongo afterward, allegedly warning him:
“Bernard, you deserve death for blasphemous deeds and leading our people to that false religion.”
Hours later, after Mulongo appeared on a local radio program, he and a friend were traveling by motorcycle when several men blocked their path. His friend escaped and called police, but Mulongo was later found dead with multiple injuries, according to Morning Star News.
The imam is now among the suspects in the killing. Police were investigating and had made no arrests as of the report.
Mulongo leaves behind a wife and two young children, just 4 and 7 years old.
Please pray for his wife, his children and Christians around the world who risk everything for their faith. 🙏✝️
