This is the story of Peter, a man originally from Uganda who grew up in a Hindu family. At a young age, he was forced to flee the dictatorship of the country and settled in the UK. He later on went to Canada, where he moved in with a girl named Connie. Peter worked for the Hudson Bay Company and had friends invite him to church. Peter didn't want to attend it, since he was a Hindu. Connie had brothers that were into drugs and alcohol. Over time, this drove Peter into drugs and alcohol as well.
One day after a couple of years, Peter found out that Connie had been unfaithful to him. So he decided to end his life by eating all the drugs he had at home. As he was out of consciousness, there was a very bright light that appeared to Peter. He didn't know what that light was. All he felt was an incredible love that engulf him and saved him. A few days after the experience, he decided to follow his coworkers to church and knew that Jesus was the light that saved him. This led Peter to give his life to follow Jesus. Watch his testimony here:
This is the story of Umar Mulinde from Uganda. He was born and raised in a Muslim household. He knows Arabic and thoroughly studied the Qur'an and specialized in interpreting Hadiths, which are a collection of traditions containing sayings of the Islamic prophet that constitute a significant source of guidance for Muslims. He was very zealous for Allah and held the responsibility of leading a mosque for a year.
Then Mulinde got a dream. In his dream, his hands and feet were all bound up and fire surrounded him. He was completely terrified. But someone standing on the right called Mulinde to repent and follow Jesus. Instinctively, Mulinde recited his Islamic prayers hoping the dream would go away. But the nightmares continued for weeks and weeks.
Then he recalled once hearing a person preaching with the Bible and the Qur'an. He remembered how interesting it was that Isa was mentioned ninety plus times and Jesus' mother Mary also appears ninety plus times in the Qur’an. No other names are mentioned more in the Qur'an. He remembered the person said to pray in Jesus name, and things would happen. And it did. Umar gave his life to Jesus. He met true peace and love. He discovered the truth.
But that is the beginning of suffering persecution for Jesus, as he was attacked with acid thrown at his face. The facial scars completely changed his life. But instead of hating his enemies, Mulinde chose to forgive and continues to share Jesus' love through forgiveness. Watch this amazing testimony of a persecuted follower of Christ.
