EVANGELISM IN BOHICON / CANA - BENIN REPUBLIC
We went to a village called Bohicon for evangelism and to train Sunday school teachers and children teachers on how to lead children to Christ. We also visited Abomey and Cana where we were able to reach out to souls and tracts were shared both in French and local language (Fon).
There is a lot of work to be done here in Rep. of Benin. When we asked one of the voodoo priest if he believes in God, he said yes but he communicates to Him through their idols. Here we got lots of information such as, when a woman delivers twins, a sacrifice will be done for the children in order to protect them from death and effigy made representing the twins. They worship trees, snakes and other images. There is a spirit called ZAPATA, which dwell in trees. This spirit is terrible and wicked. It kills anyone that offends him without mercy, the priest said. They worship snakes (DAH) as well. Although he said the snake is not a physical one but spiritual. It gives children to women looking for the fruit of the womb and other blessing such as prosperity and future partners. They offer sacrifice to the spirits; such sacrifice goes with goat, chicken etc. For the sacrifice you must wear white dress, which signifies purity. They also offer sacrifices for the dead ones. Almost every family has the snake (DAH) temple where sacrifices are made.
The voodoo priest in Cana said that their gods called ALIBONO created the earth. They also worship ASANGANA. This is a very powerful spirit that gets angry and can kill easily. There are walls built with human blood, mixed with animal blood and other fetish materials. The remnants of these walls are still standing in Abomey and Cana. There are too many idols and 65 percent of the population are idol worshippers.
The country needs deliverance and freedom from the satanic captivity. This country needs prayers. In this country many children are given to the idol gods from birth. Such children came from parents that have no access to the Good News.
My hearts bleeds when I saw and heard unbelievable and unimaginable things. It occurs to me that we have not done enough for our Saviour in terms of soul winning. We are saved to serve and witness for the Master that we may be soul – winners for Christ’s kingdom. There may be battles ahead with the powers of darkness but Christ is our victorious leader, He is with us. We have His word, His name, His blood and the anointing power of the Holy Spirit to do His work.
I want you to put Benin Republic into your program and prayers. As you are conducting crusades in other countries or villages, think about Benin.
Please ask God to reveal to you about Benin and what He wants you to do in Republic of Benin. We are praying for revival and total change for people of Benin.
