(Morning Star News) – A young woman who told a Muslim about Christ and a pregnant, formerly Muslim woman beaten for her new faith suffered serious injuries in eastern Uganda, sources said.

Crissy, let us count our blessings and thanking/praising GOD that we can freely profess our faith in the Triune GOD without fear of or actual punishment and ostracism.

We contantly pray that the soverign GOD, according to His divine will and purpose, will rescue/protect them from harm that might be inflicted to them along the way in their walk of faith. 🙏

Blessings

We are so blessed and take our blessings so for granted. We should remember the rights we have can be easily taken from us if we do don’t stand up for what is right. May we be vigilant in prayer.
