SAULT STE. MARIE, MI -- Christian Freedom International (CFI) is deeply saddened by the death of American aid worker Christopher Leggett, who was murdered in the African nation of Mauritania on Tuesday, June 23, 2009.

Leggett was shot and killed by two al-Qaeda militants for allegedly spreading Christianity in the country where he had worked and resided for over six years. CFI commends Mr. Leggett’s bravery and is profoundly concerned about the welfare and safety of others in the region.

CFI offers condolences to Mr. Leggett’s wife and four children, and encourages all Christians to pray for them in their time of grief.
