The Lopit have a deep spiritual belief around teeth of babies. Upon not understanding the pain a child goes through when teething, they have a practice of cutting a whole in the baby’s mouth with a knife or nail and removing the baby teeth before they come out as they believe they are evil. Unfortunately many children have died here from this practice and now poor Jubilee is extremely sick and having a hard time recovering from this practice. Please pray for her safety and health! Please also pray That as the TIMO team continue to try to educate, that people will have an openness to hear and not cling so tightly to their world view on this issue that kills many.
