| Pastor Patrick Omwanza |
Pastor Patrick Omwanza was a national church leader in Uganda during the 1970s when President Idi Amin put out a contract on his life. Soldiers hunted him down, machine gunned him and left him for dead along side the road. A “good samaritan” found him and took him to a local hospital. Doctors believed he could not survive after x-rays revealed 27 bullets in his body. Pastor Patrick requested to go home to his family. Just a few days after his shooting, his wife was bathing him when something began to ooze out of his body. In fear she ran for help. Other family members attended to Patrick while his body “oozed” - when he was removed from the tub, 17 bullets were found at the bottom of the tub. The amazed family bandaged and cared for him. Word spread fast and within days another contract was issued - this time Amin wanted Patrick’s head on a pike. Friends came and transported this Kenyan Pastor to the Kenyan border and to safety within his own country.

Pastor Patrick is now 83 years old and enjoying his walk with Jesus. He has faithfully served as a minister of the Lord for over 50 years! Pastor Patrick was hunted down and shot. But like Daniel in the lion’s den, he was safe in God’s sovereign protection. Twenty seven bullets could not stop this pastor!
