African Witches come to Christ through Jesus Film


In a central African nation with a dark history of witchcraft, the Gospel message is breaking through and touching the hearts and lives of villagers, including witches. Screenings of the “Jesus” film in the Central African Republic has led to tens of thousands of commitments for Christ, dozens of churches planted, and witches being freed from dark forces, according to The Jesus Film Project. Central African Republic, which neighbors the highly-troubled nations of Chad and Sudan, has struggled with what some might consider an epidemic of witchcraft. Local witches reportedly have the power to kill and cause excruciating physical pain, leading to great fear among villagers.

The government routinely imprisons accused witches, but has found that prison walls cannot contain their power.

When witches saw the “Jesus” film – which follows the life and teachings of Jesus Christ – in their own language, many reportedly were convicted by the Holy Spirit. They repented of their sins, were freed from their spiritual bondage, and committed their lives to Jesus Christ, The Jesus Film Project reported.

In the Bossangoa area in western CAR, people have dubbed the “Jesus” film, “The Miracle Film.”

The region’s governor has personally called the “Jesus” film team to thank them for the “miracles” the movie has done on the witches in his area.

Next month in June, “Jesus” film teams plan to reach those speaking the Gbeya language in CAR. There are some 176,000 people in the country that speak this language, including the country’s current president.

Hopefully we can make enough money to do the same enough to reverse such a cultural travesty. With each, ''witch'' goes an understanding of the peoples cultural heritage, things like medicines, tradition and so on.

Sad times.

i have a friend who is a missionary in the continent. he says that the witch doctors and witches and muslims threaten him as soon as he enters the villages. he says that he smiles at them and tell them to take a number...

he has some stories about possessions and these people coming to services and spiritual warfare with demonic forces...

Yeah... I think missionaries have a bit of a bad reputation in certain places, can't belive that concept is still about. Have you heard the story about hawaii and the people who once lived there? Its intresting, they were wiped out but were replaced by slaves and migrants they brought to the island.

Theres a good documentory about around some place, will post it if you're intrested.
