A Twin Delivered

A couple of weeks ago, I asked our Bible institute students to give their testimonies. One was particularly interesting.

His name is Kalala, and he was reared in a village of another denomination. Because he is a twin, he was asked to perform ceremonies on newborn twins, who even in the 90's in parts of Congo were frowned upon though no longer murdered.

He told me that each twin had to be wiped down with a white, chalky substance to invoke blessing and prevent illness and death. A minister from the only denomination allowed in that village told Kalala he and others assisting him must die when they expressed great interest in opening a church of a different faith, real faith.

But. . . he did not die. He was beaming with the joy of being delivered first through salvation from evil rites performed on him and on those which he performed on others, not to mention the horrors of hell before he trusted Christ, as well as the freeing God's word rendered to him to carry out His will.

How exciting to be a part of all of this. It is absolutely exhilerating to the soul!
