A Muslim tribe controlled her hometown in Liberia, refusing to allow churches there. But she, an indigenous missionary, determined that a church would one day exist.
She prepared to hold an event to publicly proclaim the gospel. If she persisted, her family warned her, she’d forfeit her inheritance. She did it anyway.
In the middle of the event, the chief of the village had her arrested.
Two days later, he became ill and entered a hospital. The doctors discharged him after a week, telling him there was nothing more they could do for him.
She showed up at his house. “My God can heal you,” she said to him.
Islamic law forbade him from receiving prayers from a woman, but he was desperate and agreed to allow her to pray for him in the presence of many villagers.
At first, nothing happened. Two hours later, he started sweating profusely. Strength suddenly infused his body. His illness had vanished.
That day, he and many other villagers accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. A church now meets in the village.
