Koffi's Transformation

Picture Story

Brazil

Arturo had been suffering from an injury for 16 years. His granddaughter was also dealing with a serious health issue. Moved by their situation, the couple promised to return the next day with medicine.

From a young age, Koffi* was deeply involved and highly skilled in spiritual rituals. This was not unusual for someone living in a city in northern Ivory Coast. Residents in the community practiced similar traditions.

But one day, everything changed. His vision became blurry, making it impossible for him to work. He began spending his days in small bars, drinking with other young men. That’s where a Global Mission pioneer met him.

The pioneer started discussing health and explained the effects of alcohol and cigarettes. Then, he spoke about Jesus. Koffi was captivated and listened intently. He told the pioneer he wanted to learn more.

As they studied together, Koffi grew in his understanding but started experiencing spiritual attacks at night. Troubled, he confided in the pioneer. The pioneer assured him that Jesus was stronger than any demonic force. Together, they prayed fervently for God's protection.

At last, the attacks stopped, and Koffi felt peace. Encouraged by the pioneer, he decided to give his life to Jesus. A few months later, not only Koffi was baptized, but also his wife as well!

Please continue supporting Global Mission pioneers as they mingle with individuals from various walks of life and bid them to follow Jesus.
