Police ban evangelistic events in western Ugandan town

Police have banned evangelistic events in a town in western Uganda following open-air preaching in which many Muslims put their faith in Christ, sources said. Churches in Bwera held a joint evangelistic event amid the large Muslim population in Bwera beginning May 20. The success of the event led not only to the ban but to church leaders receiving death threats. ‘Tomorrow we are coming to kill all of you during the open air crusade,’ read one text message. (MS)
