Ugandan Muslim father tried to burn Christian daughters alive

At around midnight on September 6, Amina and Shamila, two newly converted Christian sisters, were inside their home in Kasese District in the country of Uganda, Africa when their house was set on fire, reports International Christian Concern.

The arsonist was their Muslim father, Muhamud. He had doused the house with gas, then set it alight while the girls slept inside. He had told them he would act to fulfill Islamic law since they had rejected Islam when they recently converted to Christianity on August 26.

The girls awoke to the smell of gas and the sight of flames surrounding them. Amina said, “We saw flames of fire consuming our house. We now started looking for Plan B to escape death.” 

The girls barely escaped in time. 

Shamila added, “We knew that our lives were in danger. We removed the bricks and escaped through the hole. Thank God that He gave us a way to get out alive.”  

The girls survived the fire which destroyed almost everything they owned.

Amina said, “We are happy to say that the fire consumed our shelter, but did not consume our faith and hope in Jesus Christ.”

Indeed, 1 Peter 1:3 says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."

In your prayers today, thank God for protecting Amina and Shamila, these Ugandan sisters who recently trusted Christ.  Pray for their father to be held accountable and that he, too, would come to Christ.

Muslims represent only 14% of the Ugandan population.

HUME: “The Fed is concerned about the same thing that our polling today, that came out today, suggests the American public is concerned about. That's the issue that helped elect Donald Trump. And I'm talking about inflation right now.

“Question has been raised: Has the Trump administration made the economy better or worse? Fully 63% say it's made it worse, and that is 11 points higher, 11 percentage points higher than the number of people who thought that last year. That is not a number that the president can be very content with, and if you look at what people are saying about what is a major problem for their family: 62% said gro
