A mob of Muslim extremists in Uganda killed 41-year-old Yusuf Kintu, a former imam, a week after he converted to Christianity, according to International Christian Concern.
Kintu had engaged in several conversations about faith with Pastor Andrew Nyanma of the Full Gospel Church in Dolwe, Uganda, and after hearing the Gospel decided to become a Christian, Nyanma told ICC.
“We had been talking on several occasions but he was so argumentative when we touched on matters related to faith," Nyanma added. "He was a brilliant Muslim imam but also respected other people’s faith. On this day, he was calm and receptive. He gave me ... time to explain to him why Christ is the only way to the Father. He repented of his sins and committed to following Christ.”
