Ibu* hated Christians – until the Bible changed his life. Born into a Muslim family in East Africa, Ibu was taught that Christianity was corrupted. He knew that anyone who converted would face persecution – or death.
One day, after prayers in the mosque, word spread that a church was being built nearby. The local people knew of Ibu’s hatred for Christianity and urged him to go and burn down this new place of worship – in broad daylight!
An angry mob gathered with Ibu and started to attack the church building. It was damaged beyond use. When tensions had died down, the community and local officials agreed that the church could be rebuilt.
