Liberia: Revival Breaks Power of Witchcraft
By Christian Aid
Missionaries in Liberia, West Africa, recently conducted revival meetings that led to many salvations and the destruction of idols and witchcraft fetishes in one village.
All in all, 27 people accepted Christ and were baptized as a result of the four days of meetings. Two of these were elderly women who confessed they had been practicing witchcraft. They had been using voodoo charms and juju dolls to try to kill some young women and children in their village. After they accepted the Lord, they brought these items forward and the missionaries burned them in the presence of all the villagers.
"Instantly the power of God descended and the people gave praises unto the Lord," the missionaries told Christian Aid.
This evangelistic and church-planting ministry in Liberia continues to see advances for the kingdom. In a three-month period ending early this year they saw at least 431 persons accept Christ, including 56 from Islamic background. They also established three village churches and proclaimed the gospel in 49 mission stations.
The missionaries continue to distribute Christian literature and hold evangelistic prayer meetings to draw Africans to the Lord. Please pray that this ministry will continue to be effective in Liberia, breaking through the walls of superstition with the message of Jesus.
