A
Muslim father tied up his own 10 year old son and burned him up in Uganda
for accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord. Missionaries of the
Bibles for Mideast reported Pastor Paul,
its Director, who is a converted Christian from Islam.
Boys
name is Nassif. His father did not give him food and water for three days and
asked him to deny Jesus. and recite fifth kalima. Fifth kalmia is “Astagfar”,
which is the words of seeking forgiveness. But the boy was bold enough for the
faith in Jesus Christ.
Nassif
himself says, "My father locked me in a room for three days. Then he
started beating me up with sticks, but I managed to escape to a nearby bush.
But he followed me with wild anger and caught me back to the homestead. There
he tied me up at a banana tree. And he went inside the house and return back
with a piece of strong wood and beaten me again. Then he fired the banana tree
which had dry leaves. It caught fire and caused serious burns on my
body."
Neighbors
rescued the boy and delivered him to a nearby hospital where he is
recovering.
Nassif
used to attend the worship service at a church in another village. He accepted
Jesus as his personal savior and Lord just two months ago in that church.
The
pastor of that church said, " Nassif remained behind and then followed me
to the pastry room at the end of the service and personally requesting me that
he wants to have the experience of salvation.," Pastor of that church said
to the missionaries of Bibles for Mideast.
"I
was a bit hesitant, but after his continuous request, I then prayed with him,
and he left," he added. "I am a pastor. If anybody approach me
to have salvation, I will teach him and pray for him. Lord Jesus is winning
that soul," he continued.
"There
are Christians and Muslims in Uganda. The main point of contention between
Muslims and Christians is that Muslims are yet to embrace the reality of freedom
of worship or coexistence. But Muslims always think that any person who doesn't
believe like them is an enemy who deserves to be killed," Evelyn Mulinde, who also converted from Islam told.
