Here’s a morbid new twist in the Muslim jihad against Christians ~ Uganda: Muslim relatives force woman to take poison for converting to Christianity ~

NAIROBI, Kenya – Muslim relatives of a young woman in eastern Uganda who put her faith in Christ at a Christmas service coerced her into taking poison at a New Year’s celebration, she said.

As Sandra Summaya told Morning Star News ~

“I had great peace when the pastor prayed for me to take Jesus as my savior,” she said. “I later shared my testimony with my brother, who outrightly accused me of being an infidel and an outcast from the family and the Muslim community. I felt great pain inside me because of the insults.”
 

On Sunday (Jan. 1) Summaya’s immediate family and a few other relatives gathered in the predominantly Muslim village in Kamuge County to celebrate the New Year with a meal. At the high point of the gathering, Summaya said, a paternal uncle read to her a Bible verse and suggested it meant God would protect her from harm, including illness from ingesting poison.
 
“He said, ‘Do you believe that Issa [Jesus] is able to protect your from poison as written in the Bible?’ and I answered ‘Yes,’” she said. “Immediately I was forced to take the poison to confirm my faith in the Bible, at around midnight. I could not deny the Bible, so I took the rat poison.” […]

 
“I started having severe stomach pains together with vomiting and cried for help,” she said. “I was taken away from the homestead to a nearby bush. I was tied with a rope to a tree and left to die.”

 
Luckily – make that providentially – a neighbor heard her cries for help and rushed her to a medical facility ~

Summaya remains at the hospital and her condition has stabilized, a nurse who requested anonymity told Morning Star News […]
 
An area source requested prayer that Summaya be healed and protected, and that she not doubt God’s love and provision.

 
Thanks be to God. Please pray for healing and that her ordeal and survival be a compelling witness to her Muslim relatives and friends.
