Former witch doctor now shares God’s Word

A well-known witch doctor in Northern Africa had people for miles around coming to her for her services – to be healed from sickness or to be set free from a curse placed upon them. She made a lot of money from her sorcery. One evening she came across a radio program where a storyteller was telling the story about God creating the world. She was interested in hearing more, so she listened to the storyteller each week. When she listened to the story of Noah and the ark, she became acutely aware that she was a sinner just like the people in Noah’s time. She confessed her sin to God, repented and gave her life to God. Now when people come for her services, instead of practicing witchcraft, she tells them the Bible stories and shows them how to find the program on the radio. Many people continue to come to her, and she shares God’s Word with each one of them.
