Power to Save

 “The sorcerers have lost confidence in their fetishes,” said Pastor Luka, who is bravely claiming an enemy stronghold for Jesus in Burkina Faso. Recently, Alliance missionaries Steve and Debbie Clouser visited with Pastor Luka in the remote village of Yoana, deep in the heart of Dafing territory. “We had gone to pray for and encourage Luka and his family,” says Steve.  
 Luka and his wife have been the targets of Yoana sorcerers since they arrived in June 2005. They were “shot” with invisible darts and were paralyzed in various parts of their bodies. “Through the power of prayer,” Steve says, “they were healed each time.”  
The healings have made a mockery of the sorcerers’ powers, but only a handful of villagers have trusted Jesus.  
 Before the missionaries left, they joined believers in dancing and singing a hymn of victory in front of Luka’s home, while he beat his drum. Many villagers gathered to hear. “The words rang out through the village,” says Steve, “Jesus Christ has the power to save us.”
