A village chief in tears said, “Thank you for giving us this bore hole. No government or organization ever remembered our village in terms of help to alleviate the suffering of the people. You will be remembered as the ones God used to solve our water problem. My people, I urge you to follow the God these people are talking about. He will bless our village”. In the same breath, he said “Servant of God, please help us build a clinic that can solve our medical needs and a school for our children. You have changed our lives in this village. Thank you.”

 The tribal chief of “M village” recently said “Over the last year, I’ve noticed that the villages around mine with churches look very different than the villages without churches. Stealing, rape and evil sacrifices against people has dropped greatly since churches have been planted by Grace Evangel Mission. Young people are all talking about God’s Son, who shows them the love of God. I want such progress in my village, and I want all my children and wives to become Christians. Please take this portion of land and give us a church.

There was a time where people feared me in my village and the surrounding towns. I talked to the spirits of our ancestors, and they answered me. People come to this village to seek spiritual help, and I have always helped them to defeat their enemies. One day I became very ill, and I was sick for months. I used all my power to invoke healing, but nothing happened. I was dying when the missionary from Grace Evangel Mission found me. He told me he heard about my situation, and that Christ would heal me if I accept him and reject the ways of Satan. I was annoyed, but as a dying man I said to myself “the gods have not been able to heal me. Well, if there is any god greater than our god I will follow him, if he heals me”. Brothers and sisters, the man of God prayed, and today you can all see that I am healed. I have surrendered all my charms and shrine for destruction. I am now a child of God. I now have peace that I cannot explain. Thank you, Jesus.

Grace Evangel Mission, thank you for sending Kossi and the other brothers from Nigeria to show us the way of God. I have given my life to God through Jesus Christ. I was selling voodoo medicine to people before. I made a living off it. Today, I cannot do that again. I will not follow witch doctors again. Jesus is all I need. I know he will provide all my needs. Now, I am looking to do another business. Thank you for the good work. The Doctors and nurses helped many sick people, free of charge. Our people are talking about this all the time. It is helping many to come to Christ. Please send them again. Praise God!

I thank God for sending Grace Evangel Mission to our village. I would have died by now due to the way I was living my life. I was a drunk and a sinner, who deceived peoples’ wives to commit sin with them. Since I heard the gospel, through brother Titus, my life changed. The things I once did, I do them no more. Praise God for forgiving a sinner like me. Each time I remembered what I did in the past, I felt bad, but Titus kept assuring me that God has cleansed me. Now, I feel better. I am a new man. Praise God! I want to thank God for the wells provided in our villages. Now, we have good water to drink, even in the dry season. I use this water to make shayi (tea), which I sell every morning. Praise God!
