Joseph Irwaat

9/17/2010 Vol. 012



Joseph Irwaat, 49( a leader at the Kampala Church of Christ) was yesterday among four other people that were ambushed by thugs on their way to work in the early morning hours at 5 am on Thursday 16th September 2010.

Joseph’s story has featured in today’s leading Luganda local News paper Bukedde. It has been confirmed that four people were ambushed, two have died so far and the other two are hospitalized. We praise God because Joseph is alive.

When I visited him today morning in the hospital, Joseph was encouraged to read all your messages, concern and prayers. Joseph went on to say that it had to be the mercy of God that he is alive.

According to Bukedde, the four ambushed people were all beaten up using small iron bars locally known as “Katayimbwa”. The intension seems clear enough that the thugs attacked with a goal to kill.

Please continue to pray for Joseph and the other survivor. I will be sending you more updates as I get them.

One of the doctors has advised that Joseph needs to have a head scan to ascertain whether there has been any damage on his skull, the head wound is deep. The X-ray results are out, by the time I left the doctors were yet to give out a report on their findings.

In Christ Jesus
