A Prayer a Day for East Asian Peoples
A grandma was the only Christian in her village and often ridiculed for her faith. When she got very sick, one of her daughters encouraged her to seek the shaman for healing. The shaman tied strings on her wrist and neck to protect her from evil and said she would be well in a few days. Her condition worsened and she was hospitalized. Her other daughter, a Christian, reminded her mom to be faithful to God, stay strong in the faith, and completely cut ties with the devil. This grandma cut off her strings that day. Other Christians visited, brought her food and prayed for her. he is now strong and doing well. She smiles when she shares her story.
Pray for villagers like her to hear and believe the gospel. Ask God to show himself as almighty among these many villagers who follow shamanism.
