Kossouwa had a mysterious connection with demonic spirits. She woke up badly one day and started behaving strangely and crazily. She tried several times to calm these spirits by offering habitual sacrifices, but her situation only got worse. We went to minister in her village during Easter.

We are currently conducting life skills in 5 different schools. Each school has 4 to 6 classes with an average of 35 to 45 learners per class.

We were recently invited to join a youth party in Carina. I invited her and she agreed to come with us. She recommitted her life to Christ during the service and received deliverance as well. We thank the Lord for the visible changes that occurred in her life thereafter.
