One night we went to this village called “Apitoara”, to broadcast the Jesus Film. When we arrived, we saw that the whole village was doing the “BILO” ceremony. The Bilo is a ritual that happens when someone is possessed by demons. They call the witch doctors and sacrifice cows to the ancestors and demons, asking for deliverance. The ritual involves alcohol and dancing. The blood of the cows is sprinkled over the people, as a “covering” to pacify the demons. The music was loud and people going up and down the road crazily.
I thought with myself: No Film today. But, we set up anyway. We started projecting some songs (videoclips) until the time we had set for the film. Unexpectedly, people started appearing, and the place started to fill up. By the time we started the film, the place was completely full! The ceremony of the BILO had finished, and almost the whole village came to watch the movie. I was amazed! The BILO is an important thing to the BARA and usually lasts the whole night. However, people left the ceremony to come and watch the film. What an amazing GOD. One of the pastors preached 10 minutes about our hope in Christ. I gave my testimony and we let the JESUS FILM do its work.
In my spirit, the Spirit of God said: Do you understand this? People are thirsty for something new! YES! For the GOOD News!
