Kicked Out Twice But Firm in Faith

[142] prayers in [7] nations have been posted for Ariane.

Ariane visited several voodoo practitioners in her area, but no one could heal her of her intense stomach pain. Someone suggested she go to a Christian hospital in Togo. A nurse there urged her to give her life to Christ, and she became a Christian. She was then healed of her stomach pain. When she returned home, her voodooist husband rejected her and kicked her out of her home. Later, he threatened to kill her with a machete. But she regularly prayed for him, and he eventually let her return home. He even asked her to pray for some struggles he faced which she believed were brought on by witchcraft. But other voodooists pressured him to kick her out again. Then, their adult son, who had become a Christian too, became sick and eventually died. Ariane’s husband blamed her and kicked her out of their home once again. Still, Ariane remains firm in her faith. “Even if my family say I should leave Jesus, I will never leave,” she said.
