Uganda Father Beaten by Muslim Sons for Accepting Christ

9/3/2026  (Morning Star News)

A 52-year-old Christian in eastern Uganda was severely beaten by his Muslim sons for leaving Islam. Kibirige Abumusa returned home on Aug. 9 after an extended stay in a different city, where he had put his faith in Christ on June 1. Abumusa converted to Christianity after attending an open-air evangelistic event, and one of his adult sons confronted him about his conversion. His son had learned about his conversion from the village imam. The imam had accompanied Abumusa to the evangelistic event, and immediately after Abumusa’s conversion, the imam informed his son. When Abomasa returned home, his son struck him with a stick, and his four other sons joined in beating him. Abumusa has not reported the assault to the police, fearing his sons could further endanger him. 

Please pray…　

• Pray that the Lord will heal Abumasa completely of all his injuries.

• Pray that his faith will remain strong and that he will grow in his faith.

• Pray that the Lord will touch his sons’ hearts and draw them to Jesus.
