Sonithe, one of our leaders, shared a beautiful gospel testimony with me about one of our CST families. First some background: San Bouda, used to be a voodoo leader - he was the one you would call on if you wanted a séance to happen. He had a real connection with the evil spirits. His daughter Cathialove was a student in our school until she tragically died from a sickness during her Kindergarten year. San Bouda decided that since his voodoo gods couldn’t heal his daughter he would come check out Jesus at our church. God encountered His heart, he gave his life to Jesus and has been following Jesus for a few years now - hallelujah! Now to the current testimony - his son Wikenson is now in our kindergarten class. In December of last year, Wikenson became very ill and was close to death (sound familiar?). From his waist up his body was swollen and he was bed ridden. San Bouda’s family urged him to return to the voodoo ceremonies to see if his son could be healed. San Bouda responded with eternity in his heart, “I’d rather have Wikenson die and remain in Jesus than return to the darkness.” Our school staff and church began praying for Wikenson. One man received wisdom from God and gathered some local herbs and made a tea. When Wikenson drank the remedy he vomited out what apparently was some kind of poison. During three days of continued prayer, the swelling in his body moved from his upper body down to his legs and then left him completely. He has returned to full health and I was able to run and play with this joyful son of God who is destined for greatness.
Praise God for salvation and healing!!
