Pray for Francis, a Christian Worker Receiving Threatening Messages

[258] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Francis.

“Francis,” a Christian worker in Uganda, received a threatening text message on April 6 warning him about his work. Calling Francis an infidel, the message’s sender warned him that he knows where he lives and will beat Francis if he ever catches him “abusing Islam” again. Francis helps train young pastors who reach out to Muslims and also works with refugees from South Sudan. He often takes a team of student pastors with him to the camp to help encourage and pray for the refugees. Pray for Francis’ safety. Pray that he will remain fearless as he continues his work among Christian and Muslim refugees and as he trains front-line workers to share the gospel throughout Uganda. Also pray that the person who sent the text message will come to know Christ.
