256 Muslims come to Christ in Mbale

SUMMARY: Pastor reports 256 new converts from Islam to Christianity after crusade in eastern Uganda.

By Aaron Sseruyigo

A gospel crusade in Mbale ended with 256 new converts from Islam to Christianity, Pastor Stephen Waiswa of Bible Evangelism Ministries says.

In his remarks on 9th march, 2019, Pastor Stephen said the crusade was conducted at multiple locations within Mbale including; Nile view Casino, Namakwekwe and Nakaloke. 

“We have fought a good fight, until the end, I ask God to bless every one who supported this mission, we finished the mission – with 256 new converts from Islam to christianity,” he said.

As this website often reports, many evangelical organizations, across the country, engage in evangelism to Muslims. It should however be noted that several converts often resort to secrecy to survive after receiving threats from their counterparts.

This concern over safety proves the greatest complication in assessing the number of Muslims converting to Christianity in several nations, according to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

“Many of these converts keep their new faith a secret. Some of them are fairly isolated, not knowing any other Christians,” the organisation notes.

Pastor Stephen is now making preparations to carry out other evangelism crusades at Kazimingi in Jinja, a town in southern Uganda.
