<\/source><\/picture>NAIROBI,\u00a0Kenya \u2014 An elderly couple in eastern Uganda has fled their village after Muslim relatives upset with their conversion to Christianity threatened to destroy them and their home, sources said.<\/p>\n
In Wakalende village, Kyebando Ward in Mayuge town, 70-year-old Sula Mugudi and his wife, Aisha Mugudi, 62, put their faith in Christ on Sept. 16 during a church\u2019s week-long evangelistic campaign of home visits.<\/p>\n
Three days after converting, the couple attended a church all-night prayer vigil, returning home on Sept. 20 to find that relatives who had learned of their conversion had bashed bricks from their modest home.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we returned back to our grass-thatched roof house, we found some of the debris around the house,\u201d Sula Mugudi told Morning Star News. \u201cOn entering the house, we found there was a threatening message, \u2018Today if we find you around, we shall destroy you with the house. You have become an embarrassment to our Muslim family by joining a wrong religion.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The fearful couple left the house immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a very difficult moment for us \u2014 no place to stay, no clothing and beddings,\u201d Mugudi said.<\/p>\n
A pastor whose name is withheld for security reasons said the couple has been relocated as far away as possible to avoid attacks by their Muslim relatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the couple arrived at our church, they looked shaken and fearful,\u201d he said. \u201cThe church has hidden them for the sake of the church as well as for the lives of these two new Christians. We need prayers for God\u2019s protection and providence.\u201d<\/p>\n
