Hardline Muslim residents beat a Christian convert with sticks and burned his home for refusing to renounce Christ, it was reported in June.
Mbulakyaalo Badawuyi said he came to faith in 2019 after a dream about Christ when he fell asleep during night prayers with other sheikhs and Muslims at a mosque. ‘I fell asleep and had a dream that Isa [Jesus] told me that I was in a wrong place, and that therefore I was to go and look for His shepherds who will teach me all His holy words, then after learning go and preach those words to others,’ he said.
During the dream, he heard people shouting ‘Hallelujah!’, he said. ‘In the dream I also repeated the same, and this made me shout in the mosque, “Hallelujah!’’ ’ added Badawuyi. ‘The sheikhs and other Muslims who heard me shouting were very astonished, and one came and asked me why was I shouting? I told him that I had seen Jesus. As he called others to come and hear, I jumped out and took off, and since it was night they couldn’t get me.’
