When the construction team arrived earlier this year to begin building a home for the evangelist/worship center in a new outreach area, they set up their tents on a parcel of land that the village gave to the church. During this initial construction time, one of the men saw that there was a charm tied onto a tree near the campsite. We prayed over the campsite and then they cut off the charm and burned it right there. Then they proceeded with the planned construction for the remainder of the time and forgot about the charm incident.
Apparently, this charm was placed on the tree years ago by a man in the village. And since that time, this man has been bound by spirits. The day that this charm was cut off and burned, he was freed from his oppression and, according to the village leaders, the entire village was also freed from their bondage. We do serve a living God! Pray this village will use their freedom to follow Jesus!
