Syrian Opposition Cleric Appeals to Israel for Help...

We all know that Syria is killing its own on a daily basis. Seemingly, the Arab League, and other Muslim organizations are not too eager to help (in any way).

The cleric being interviewed even goes as far as calling for Israel to help--but they also admit that Syria would never allow the wounded to cross over the Golan border. If there were a way, I am pretty sure that Israel would accept and treat the wounded~because that's who we are...

Indictment of the Media: If They are Wrong~People Will Die...

White House with Flag of Jihad
Earlier we posted a segment from Glenn Beck. While we do not back any one media personality, these programs that Beck presents have compelling evidence to be considered. 

Please take the time to watch the below segments Very Carefully! Look at the facts he is presenting~and has presented more than one year ago. Consider his indictment of the Media and indeed the governments of all western, freedom believing countries.

Dear Friends, we are fast running out of time. All around the world people are feeling the oppression~from beheading in Saudi Arabia, to blind people being thrown off buses in England because they use a seeing eye dog (Muslims are offended by dogs), to the recent honour killing convictions in Canada of four women because they wanted to integrate into their new country. We are in danger!  Freedom is much easier lost than gained. Imagine if you were to be arrested for prayer~or carrying a Bible or wearing a cross. No way, you are thinking? It is happening right now. Read our posts on Pastor Umar Mulinde, who is at this moment suffering horrendous pain~for his belief in God and the Scriptures! Unless we stand up Now for our freedom, we will soon be in a dark age...

Pastor Umar Mulinde Needs Your Prayers

David with Pastor Umar
Earlier this week David visited with Pastor Umar Mulinde in Chaim Sheba Hospital in Tel Aviv. The young pastor was quite groggy with medication, nonetheless, they were able to visit and talk together. 

If you do not know the story, the links to articles and to his interview are below. If you do nothing else, I urge you to watch the interview. Listen to Pastor Umar tell us, in his own words, of this cowardly attack, the strength of the Love of the Lord,  and his Prayer Needs. 

After the Attack
Those who attacked him, have sworn to "finish the job", and indeed there are websites (against apostasy from Islam) that are condemning this man and spreading the most evil of thoughts and comments. With all of this, Pastor Umar is determined, strong, and loyal to the Lord. His enemies operate from the darkest depths of hate, while he is standing firmly in the Light with only love in his heart!

Pastor Umar is facing more surgery, and along with it comes great pain, yet he is strong in spirit and determined to share his message of love and deep faith. We have described him as having the "Heart of a Lion" and this is brought home each time we have contact with him.

Please, listen to his story, and as we enter into the Sabbath, Pray for this amazing young man, and ask everyone you know to Join in Prayer for his healing, and protection from the dark forces who would do him more harm.

Interview With Pastor Umar Mulinde~The Heart of A Lion

Evelyn & Pastor Umar Mulinde
In the past weeks we have posted about an amazing young man who was brutally attacked with acid~for his beliefs.   

* The links to these stories are below the videos.

On Thursday, we traveled to Chaim Sheba Rehabilitation Center in Tel Aviv, where we were able to meet with Pastor Mulinde and his lovely wife Evelyn~A truly amazing couple!. 

On Saturday, Evelyn returned to Uganda to be with their six children. The older children must return to school, and all of them struggle to understand this vicious attack on their father.

Pastor Umar now faces weeks of skin grafts and painful treatments. He remains in Israel, alone, without his family. He worries about how his young children are coping. He worries for the safety of his family, as those who attacked him have sworn to try again! (See Part II~12:00)

In the two part interview below, you will hear Pastor Mulinde tell you in his own words about his background, the events leading to the attack, his coming to Israel, and how he is coping. Even though he is obviously in pain, swathed in tight bandages, he still wanted to speak~and this he did~softly, but with deep passion and honesty. This is truly a man with the Heart of a Lion, filled with the Spirit of the Lord...

Pastor Umar Mulinde: An Amazing Man with A Great Spirit

Pastor Umar Mulinde
Last week we posted the story HERE of the cowardly acid attack on Pastor Umar Mulinde from Uganda. Yesterday, after many calls we were able to get permission to meet with Pastor Umar Mulinde and his lovely wife Evelyn to film an interview with them. This meeting touched us all in ways that are difficult to describe.

David is now working to edit and prepare the film, which we hope will be available here by Sunday. Meantime, we would like to share some of the message that we received and pictures of these amazing young people.
Speaking Out

When we were escorted to the wing where Pastor Mulinde was, his wife came out to greet us. A gentle, soft-spoken young woman, she assured us that her husband wanted to speak with us, but that he wanted to come out to the room across the hall as there was another patient sharing his room and they did not want to disturb him. I read that she is a beautiful singer, and as she spoke it is easy to believe.

She told us of their six children (including 3 year old twins!) and how she was so very worried about them so far away without their parents to comfort them. This is a young woman who has watched her husband undergo a vicious attack, and over the past weeks stood beside him in his battle with indescribable pain. Now, they are in a strange country, separated from their children, not knowing what the future will bring.

Evelyn, David, Jay, Meridel, Umar
And yet, there were no tears, no wringing of hands, no complaints and most importantly, no hatred or calls for revenge. What we experienced was a quiet acceptance of what was happening and a deep strength of spirit.

To be sure, we were very concerned. Pastor Umar seemed to be in pain (not one word of complaint came from him!) and it was obvious that he was in a more fragile state since the attack. His face and mouth have not healed, so he speaks softly, and carefully. 

Pastor Mulinde was determined to tell his story, not to extract revenge or sympathy~but I will touch on that later. Through his tightly bandaged face his focus was directly on us, as he spoke frankly, to our hearts, while Evelyn stood quietly by his side~we could almost feel her "holding him up". It really was one of those situations that one says "you had to be there to understand".
David and Umar

Pastor Mulinde's Story:
You will hear him speak when we post the film, but here are the highlights. Pastor Mulinde was born a Muslim, his father was an Imam and Umar himself was a Sheik, well versed in Islamic doctrine. I need to confirm this, but he said he was the 52nd child. Very openly he told us that as a young man he hated Israel. By the age of twenty years, he had discovered Christianity and made a life-changing decision to convert.

Evelyn and Pastor Umar Mulinde
As he began studying the Bible, he told us that he was always reading about the God of Israel, and Gods people and could not understand the hatred. This made him curious and he began his research to learn more. He told us of a trip he made to Israel in 2008 that transformed him as he found a love for Israel and her people. He took an online course called Israel Inside Out at Jerusalem Online U. His perspective changed as his studies deepened. Soon he was using videos to teach in his church in Uganda. He began bringing groups to Israel so they could also experience what he had found. The hate was replaced with love, and through him, many Muslims were converted and even becoming pastors.

Pastor Umar told us that every Monday, that about one hundred people from the Gospel Life Church International, spend the entire day studying and praying for Israel~Every Monday!
Meridel and Umar

Evelyn told us she was very afraid after the attack because many of the doctors in Uganda were Muslim and there was a fear for his life. He was transported to New Delhi, where he contacted people at Jerusalem Online U and asked to be brought to Israel for treatment. In Kampala a visa for travel to Israel takes four days, but he said that the Israeli embassy in New Delhi had the visa in one day.

Of course we wanted to know if he was angry over what had happened to him. His reply? "I have no hatred, no anger for those who attacked him". He said that what he is angry at is the dark spirit within those people and he was concerned that it was a very dangerous spirit.
 
When asked what we could do and ask other to do for him to help he declared that there were three things he wanted (paraphrased from the interview):

1) I Need Prayer~I love those who attacked me and need prayer to overcome the dark spirit that has taken over them. He told us that after the attack, three letters were found in the washroom of the church. They said they were sorry that they did not succeed in their attack but they wanted him to know there was Plan A, Plan B and Plan C. It is clear these people are not finished and the danger is still there...

2) I Need Prayer~to do what I need to do to heal my wounds and deal with the constant pain

3) I Need Prayer~for my children. They are young and it is hard to know what they are thinking. Both he and his wife are concerned about what the kids would be inferring from all of this and the fact that in Uganda they might be in grave danger. He wanted Evelyn to return to their children to comfort and strengthen them.

Jay with Umar
We all hugged and wished Evelyn as safe trip~she leaves on Saturday to return to their children. Pastor Umar took each of our hands in turn to say goodby, and we assured him that we would be back and that we would stay in touch. This gentle, soft spoken couple rocked our world.

Be sure to watch the film when it is posted and listen as Pastor Umar tells his story in his own words. Meanwhile, this family needs prayers, encouragement and support from everyone.
 
Please, as we enter into another Sabbath, Pray for Pastor Umar and Evelyn Mulinde and their children...
