Ugandan Girl Burned by Father for Accepting Christ


In March of 2020, twenty-four Rehema Kyomuhendo accompanied her father, a Sheikh (Muslim Teacher) on a business trip in Uganda.  During the trip, she spoke with a colleague of her fathers and learned he was a Christian.  As she learned about his faith, she became a believer and converted.  Her father soon found out and flew into a rage, beating her and then burning her with gasoline.  Rehema's aunt and a Christian neighbor subdued her father and rushed Rehema to a local hospital where was treated for serious burns across her body.  


Under Sharia Law, leaving the Islamic faith is a death sentence, and in many instances a convert may be killed by a member of her own family.  This is exactly what Jesus warned us about in Matthew 10:35-36: "Do not assume I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword.  For I have come to turn a man against his Father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.  A man's enemies will be the members of his own household."  We must pray for Rehema, but we should also pray for her father.  The Lord told us in Matthew 5:44 to love our enemies and pray for our persecutors.  We must remember the The Apostle Paul was once a persecutor, and he ultimately became a powerful believer.  There have been many Saul's who have become Paul's.  Let us pray that Rehema finds comfort in her faith, and her father repents his wicked ways and finds the truth about Jesus.
