"I Felt Fire"

VOM Newsletter readers will recognize the face of Umar Mulinde from VOM's June newsletter. He has been threatened and  burned with acid, yet he continues to follow Christ. That newsletter article was co-written by Gary Lane of CBN news.

Last week CBN posted this follow-up interview with Umar by Scott Ross. When you watch the interview you will be encouraged by Umar's faithfulness in spite of what he has suffered, and challenged by him to share the gospel with Muslims around the world.

Thank you to CBN News for granting permission for us to post this interview online.

Tanzania: Pastors Targeted

The feature story in VOM’s June newsletter focuses on the rise of Islam in Africa, with stories of recent persecution from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Gary Lane contributed to that feature story, and also filed this video report to CBN News:

  

Please PRAY for the church in Tanzania, and all across eastern Africa. Pray Christians will continue to be bold witnesses for Christ in spite of the danger and threats. Pray also for Generosa and her 12 children as they mourn the loss of husband and father.
