Witness to the faith: Susan Ithungu

A 14-year-old Ugandan girl was tortured by her father after converting to Christianity.

Susan heard the Gospel and decided to become a follower of Jesus. Her father, a Muslim, locked her in a sunless room for six months with no food or water except what her brother was able to smuggle to her. Susan was finally released, but is now unable to walk.

Please pray for Susan.

Yellow fever in Tanzania

There is a possible yellow fever outbreak on the Tanzania-Uganda border. Yellow fever is a mosquito-carried disease killing an estimated 30,000 every year. Unlike malaria (another disease transmitted by mosquitos), there is no cure for yellow fever.

Please pray for the people of Tanzania and Uganda.
