A week after giving birth, Sister Amina gave her child to witchcraft and sorcery. The demons killed it. Afterward, under the power of God, she confessed that it was she who had handed her baby over. We prayed for her deliverance and rebuked the demons, and the Lord granted us His grace.

Previously, while Sister Amina had been practicing witchcraft, one demon would give her various gifts and charms. After conversion, she brought out all the objects she had used while under Satan’s influence, and we burned everything, thus breaking the supernatural ties and freeing her from her dark past. Today, Sister Amina is a baptized and active Adventist believer. Praise God, who is almighty, always ready to save and deliver.

Later, the demons tried a different tactic after I rebuked the spirits persecuting Sister Vivian. They took control of a horde of bats, driving them into the church and attacking my head. I prayed to God and, in the name of Jesus, pronounced: “God sent me here to this village, and you cannot do anything to me because Jesus is my shield.” I then started killing them.

Sisters Amina, Vivian and I live in a village where sorcerers practice witchcraft. When a soul is delivered from Satan’s clutches, he does not give up easily, often attacking those with whom he is engaged in battle. Shortly after praying for Sister Amina’s deliverance, I had an accident, damaging my motorcycle. God protected me. Then the other day, my mobile phone broke. I believe Satan is striking at me through my finances. Nevertheless, the Lord is with me, and I will not give up.

These sorcerers have been trying to rid their village of the Adventist church. However, unlike the other denominations that have come and gone, the Adventist church remains resolute and continues to grow. It has been clear from the beginning that God directed us here; we did not come on our own initiative.

Please continue to pray for the Pendjari project, the Bible workers and their families.
