In 2002, they moved to serve in Uganda\u2019s Yumbe district, one of Uganda\u2019s poorest districts and the only majority-Muslim district in the country. Warren and Donna provided agricultural training and spiritual discipleship at the Evangelical School of Technology in Aringa (ESTA). On March 18, 2004, ESTA was attacked by masked men with guns. Warren and Donna, along with a Ugandan student, were killed. Ezra and Saul Pett are the sons of Warren and Donna. Listen this week as they share on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio about their parents\u2019 ministry and how Saul and Ezra wrestled with God and their own faith after their parents\u2019 murder. \u201cMy faith basically evaporated,\u201d says Saul. \u201cThis event devastated me.\u201d But in the years since, God has gently and faithfully ministered to Saul and Ezra. He has comforted them in their loss and helped them address the anger they felt at their parents\u2019 death. Today, they see His plan to produce eternal fruit, even when we may not understand what He is doing. Listen as Saul and Ezra talk about renewing their faith, accepting God\u2019s plan and even going to minister in the very place in Uganda where their parents were killed\u2014and seeing the legacy Warren and Donna left even in their short time of missionary service. You can give online to support the Pett\u2019s ongoing work in Uganda here. You can read the story of Warren and Donna, from The Voice of the Martyrs free monthly magazine, here.
