In 2017, Pastor Jean-Paul Sankagui was one of 6 pastors murdered in a 6-week time frame in the Central African Republic. He faithfully served as a Christian minister for 40 years. His murder and the murders of countless others receive little media attention.
Voice of the Martyrs Ministry honored Pastor Jean-Paul Sankagui this year and remembered him on June 29, 2020. An inscription honoring his faithful witness appears on The Martyrs Memorial at VOM headquarters in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, United States of America. You can see the memorial in the video clip provided.
Voice of the Martyrs USA recently broadcasted a short program about Day of the Christian Martyr, Pastor Jean-Paul Sankagui’s story, and the situation in Central African Republic. The following information was provided by VOM USA on their YouTube upload:
Brother Jeremy, VOM’s deputy regional director for Africa, met Mary Sankagui just days after her husband—a pastor in Central African Republic—was killed for his faith in Christ and his ministry in a Muslim neighborhood. In spite of her loss, the woman Jeremy encountered had a deep sense of joy. Listen to hear Jeremy share the story of Pastor Jean-Paul Sankagui and give us an update on current persecution in CAR and how the church there is responding and training the next generation of church leaders.
Cole Richards, VOM’s President, joins us first to talk about Day of the Christian Martyr [.] How are Christians in free nations inspired by stories of exemplary Christians who served in the face of persecution and laid down their lives to advance Christ’s Kingdom? How can we pray for the families of martyred Christians?
