..perhaps he did, but the story only relates his fright and the bed covers...
Sure, missionaries encounter things like this----it's a battle of the heavenlies...good vs evil!
...I had a dear elderly friend, retired missionary...who related her experiences in Africa.
On one occasion, the witch doctor was going to do her bodily harm ....and she drew a circle around her in the dust and he was prevented from crossing over and harming her
A missionary to the Native Americans in Cherokee came to our church, and one of her stories gave me cold chills.
They have to know & believe God is more powerful, stronger, surer than any curse, or ritual, or voodoo.
But I know every year (I'm in a Presbyterian church now) a small group goes from our church to Haiti to work in a clinic & neighborhood far from the main towns.
Early in the mornings, the voodoo drums and chanting can be heard....our folks say it is quite disturbing & scary...
..but a group of Christian Haitians from the mission school will start singing hymns together .....and it literally drowns out the voodoo drums.
Or OPEN the door and SHAKE the hand that was there!
