Their culture is living in this beautiful area. Their culture is not voodoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voodoo is a lie, and it is a lie of Satan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No lie can stand up to the truth of the Gospel, so, that&#8217;s what we do. We preach truth, and it sets folks free. It&#8217;s been doing that for 2000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went to visit a voodoo priest named Sylvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There at her house you could see all the acoutrements of voodoo. Here in Haiti, that stuff is worth big money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then she told us that she just didn&#8217;t want to have nothing to do with us. That she didn&#8217;t need my God, didn&#8217;t need us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My wife told me, she said, &#8220;Honey, why don&#8217;t we just pray.

We prayed that God would open up another opportunity for us to speak with this woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We said goodbye to her, turned around, and walked off down the hill back to the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She called back to us. She walked inside the house and came back out with a small child that had a hernia. She knew that her magic, her voodoo, couldn&#8217;t cure this child, couldn&#8217;t fix what was wrong with it, but wanted us to take a look at him here at the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My wife looked at the child, and made arrangements to get the kid seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days later Sylvia gave her life to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the same woman that didn&#8217;t want to have nothing to do with me, or my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following day I came back to her house, and she had destroyed everything. Everything. Everything that was there was laying in a broken heap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She told me that she had thought about what I had said.
