- Alfred Kitenga was a dedicated evangelist known for sharing the gospel in Muslim communities.

A devoted evangelist in Uganda, Alfred Kitenga, was brutally martyred by suspected extremists while returning from a gospel outreach in the Kampala area.
Posing as fellow believers, the attackers lured Kitenga and his wife into a trap under the guise of offering free transportation home.
This tragic assault highlights the growing dangers faced by those standing firm for Christ in increasingly hostile territories.
We must remain steadfast in prayer for our brothers and sisters who risk everything to fulfill the Great Commission.
“This is a painful loss for the body of Christ,” one local church leader remarked as the community gathered in mourning.
Despite this heartbreaking loss, the light of Christ cannot be extinguished by those who seek to silence the truth of the Word.
We stand in solidarity with the persecuted church, trusting in the promise that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
