Photo by Ninno JackJr on Unsplash Five Ugandan evangelists died recently after being thrown off a boat for refusing to denounce their faith.
The Christians were members of End Times Ministry church and were traveling on a commercial transportation boat not to visit a church when they encountered a group of about 10 Muslims.
The evangelists began preaching Christ to the Muslim passengers, who became irate and began making threats.
“On our way, Tonny Ankunda started preaching to the people on the boat, which resulted in a huge argument between Muslims and the missionaries concerning the Sonship of our Lord Jesus Christ,” survivor Amos Kyakulaga, who was acting as a guide to the Christians, told Morning Star News.
The Muslim men told the passengers, “If you continue insisting that Jesus is the Son of God, then Allah will kill all of you.”
When the evangelists continued to confess Christ as Lord, one of the men told them, “We are giving you one last minute to stop your blasphemy and to convert by confessing the shahada (Islamic creed), or else your lives are at risk.”
The Christians refused and were grabbed and thrown off the boat one by one.
All five drowned.All of the Muslims on board were reportedly in agreement that the Christians should be killed, and the pilot did nothing to intervene.Kyakulaga only avoided being thrown overboard by claiming he was not traveling with the evangelists.When the boat docked, he traveled to the church they had been set to visit and was able to obtain help from local officials to retrieve the bodies.The deceased were named as Ankunda, 44; Peter Agaba, 28; Juliet Ashaba, 39; Johnson Karungi, 27; and Julius Lweere, 52.Police have been in contact with local officials as well as leaders from the churches where the drowned Christians had been set to visit.Although […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
