A pastor’s home was attacked on May 17, and two of his children injured, but when he went to report the incident to the police he was falsely accused of rape.
The pastor, who leads a church in the Kilimanjaro region, has faced much opposition because of his outreach to Muslims, scores of whom have turned to Christ. Several failed attempts have been made to frame him with false accusations.
Following the attack at his home he was accused of raping a young woman who had left Islam to follow Christ. The pastor had taken her into his home, along with four other converts, after she was thrown out by her family. The relatives subsequently made the false accusation against him.
