Sometimes we\u2019re tempted to think that miracles don\u2019t happen today, but I have to tell you about a modern miracle. A little girl named Mulonda was plagued by forces of evil, but she has been set free\u2014in no small part due to the compassionate giving of people like you. Here\u2019s what happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mulonda was walking to school with her friends one morning when they heard her suddenly scream, \u201cI see a coffin! I see a coffin! It\u2019s coming for me!\u201d She did a 180-degree turn and ran like a cheetah toward the forest. Bewildered, some friends chased her, and some went to get her parents and the village elders.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Mulonda reached the woods, she collapsed. Soon her parents, the elders, and her friends surrounded her. Their eyes widened in horror as they realized Mulonda was not unconscious. She was in a trance, unable to get up, her eyes open and fixed on the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a voice that shook like a leaf, someone piped up, \u201cMaybe we should call a witch doctor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would we ask a demon to free our child from a demon?\u201d Mulonda\u2019s father growled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone else suggested they hire a \u201cprophet.\u201d In many regions of Africa, there are so-called prophets who promise blessings of wealth, children, and relationships\u2014all for a good price. This idea sounded better than a witch doctor. Someone in the group said, \u201cYou should call Jones. He\u2019s a prophet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones is a Bible worker from Riverside Farm in Zambia. The next day, Mulonda\u2019s mother knocked on his door, asking, \u201cAre you a prophet?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, but I can pray,\u201d Jones replied.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019d never prayed for someone in Mulonda\u2019s condition, but he had faith. He prayed and sang over her for eight hours. No response. Finally, he asked again that Jesus would dwell with her. Then he said, \u201cMulonda, are you there?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

she saw her sister\u2014who had died two years before
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To his surprise, she answered. Mulonda\u2019s ecstatic parents and Jones listened with mouths open as she shared what she saw leading up to her trance. While walking to school, she saw her sister\u2014who had died two years before\u2014on the road. Terrified, Mulonda watched the figure morph into a levitating coffin that began flying like a bat towards her. She turned and ran. As she approached the woods, she saw a graveyard of tombs. She peeked over her shoulder and saw the coffin on her heels. She reached the woods, and then the next thing she saw was Jones\u2019 face.<\/span><\/p>\n

After her hair-raising experience, Mulonda studied the Bible with Jones using our <\/span>Truth Link<\/span><\/i> Bible study guides. She discovered the freedom Jesus gives and, along with several others, was baptized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though \u201cthe rulers of the darkness of this age\u201d may take on different forms in various parts of the world, everyone is fighting them (Ephesians 6:12). We at Light Bearers believe that Jesus can banish these forces in any community. That is why we are committed to distributing gospel literature. If you haven\u2019t yet, I\u2019d like to invite you to consider partnering with us financially as we proclaim the good news of Jesus\u2019 power.<\/span><\/p>\n
