I am in Tucson, Arizona right now with Momma Jan and we have been remembering so many wonderful stories and some not so wonderful stories of our time together in Uganda. Momma Jan was with me for around three years in Uganda until she had to come back and take care of her mother.
One of the times we remember so well was a boy I have already written about. His name was Junior. She remembers how we both sobbed at the funeral and how hard it was when he died. My daughter, Violet, one of my little women of Africa, is Junior's sister. She really cried and it was so hard for her to watch her younger brother die. She had already watched her father and mother die, and now her brother.
Violet's Grandfather was involved in drumming for evil spirits in his youth and younger years! He told me that he feared for us to move the graves that are on the HUM property because he had done terrible things there in worship to the demons and the Devil. He said it would all come back on him if we disturbed any of this. My mind races and wonders about what he did!
We were also remembering a witchdoctor that use to live near me and would do his things all night and then put up a flag to mark that this was a place open for business. He would drum at night to call up the dead and evil spirits to help him do his bidding. There are things that we both learned about the witchdoctors that just made us sick. Sometimes when a person does not have money to pay for their services the witchdoctor will ask for the wife to sleep with, or daughter to have sex with and most of these witchdoctors that I know have AIDS.
A few years ago I witnessed to a witchdoctor that lives near me and he broke down in tears and cried. He said that he knows that what I am telling him is true but he is afraid of the demons. He said that he had given his three children to the demons and they had given him nothing that they promised in return. He really cried and asked God to forgive him. He really changed for a while, but then went back to his witchcraft. I asked him why he would go back to something so awful (like a dog returning to its vomit). He told me the demons were threatening him and he had no means of making money to survive, no education and no one to help him. I prayed with him but he still refused to really accept Christ in his heart. His name is Stephen and I ask all those who read this blog to please pray for him. He only remains with a few children now and one of them is sponsored and comes to AWANA and church all the time. He is only nine years old and I know he is very disturbed by what goes on in his home. His wife left him with the two little daughters and she is in church all the time.
Pray, these people need the Lord so much and they fear. God bless you and thank you, K
