A group of angry Muslims destroyed Pastor James's church and threatened to kill him because he prayed for a man thought to be suffering from a demon attack. When the man later decided to follow Christ, the Muslims took him to a mosque, where they forced him to say prayers and lashed him 30 times as punishment for leaving Islam. The group of Muslims also threatened Pastor James’s wife and children when they were unable to find the pastor.
