Converts hospitalized after beating by family members in Uganda | World News (christianpost.com)
Two brothers were beaten by relatives for praying along with a Gospel radio broadcast. Their father stopped the beating but ostracized them from the family. After being released from the hospital, they took refuge in an undisclosed location.
Analyst Comment:
From the State Department Uganda Travel Advisory, “Country summary: There remains a threat of terrorist attacks in Uganda and throughout the region. Terrorist attacks occurred in several villages in western Uganda in December 2022 and there were multiple bombings in and around Kampala in 2021. While the attacks did not appear to target foreign nationals, anyone can be a victim. U.S. citizens should remain alert and avoid large public gatherings.
The recent incidents in Uganda are some of many incidents around the world. In May, The Christian Post reported that 58 Christians were killed in India. The Biblical Reporter reports that hundreds of Christians were killed in Nigeria in May and June.
Faith-Based Organizations that are preparing for missions abroad should consider having a good understanding of the threat environment in the country they plan to visit. The US Department of State Travel Advisories is a good place to start.
