Postcard from Africa: Benin
Barkissou Tamou is the wife of a Muslim man. She looks after other children that he has from other relationships. She states that she was always very impulsive and angry. Because of this, there was fighting and problems in her home every day. Her anger has been so extreme that she has attempted to kill people, and her neighbours call her a “witch” because of her violent nature. She was convinced that her husband’s ex-wife had put a curse on her as she could hear voices, and this scared her.
Barkissou was able to watch the Jesus Film one evening. The evangelism team laid hands on her and prayed for her deliverance after the showing. Barkissou stated, “I had another conviction in my heart that it is my deliverance that is there. I regret my past life. I am ashamed of myself, of the one I was.” She gave her life to Jesus and no longer practices the Muslim religion. She worships only Jesus Christ and has accepted him as her Lord and Saviour.
Let us fervently pray for Barkissou as she begins this new journey with Jesus.
