Veiled City: My Journey to Jesus

Picture Story

Brazil

One day, I traveled to another town to consult a traditional healer. That evening, I was tormented by severe spiritual attacks. The next morning, an unexpected visitor arrived. He immediately seemed to sense my distress. He spoke with my sister, inquiring about my situation.

I was raised in a strict religious family. However, I never found true inner peace or answers to the deep questions that troubled me. My life was marked by confusion and intense spiritual battles. I desperately sought deliverance in many ways, but my circumstances remained unchanged.

The sudden death of my husband triggered a period of deep emotional and spiritual turmoil. I was plagued with financial loss, terrifying dreams, and isolation.

This painful season led me to the realization that I needed a radical change. Despite facing opposition and threats from my family, I resolved to break free from a path that offered no solace. My story became a quest for spiritual freedom, inner healing, and a new beginning.

One day, I traveled to another town to consult a traditional healer. That evening, I was tormented by severe spiritual attacks. The next morning, an unexpected visitor arrived. He immediately seemed to sense my distress. He spoke with my sister, inquiring about my situation. Then, he addressed me directly, but I ignored him. Later, he tried again and invited me to his home. He was a Global Mission pioneer.

For several weeks, he patiently prayed for me and shared the life-transforming story of Jesus Christ. It was through his ministry that I surrendered my life to Jesus. Indeed, I found complete freedom and joy. Today, I am filled with happiness as I actively participate in building the kingdom of my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Thank you for supporting the ministry of Global Mission pioneers. It has made all the difference in my life.
