From 24-7 Prayer: Love v. Apathy: Learning from Miracles in Burundi:

Simon Guillebaud, a friend of 24-7, wrote to us with these extremely encouraging stories of what has been happening in Burundi, Africa. Simon works with Great Lakes Outreach. Great Lakes Outreach is a network of passionate people of faith who are reaching out to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the last, the lost and the least in Burundi, Central Africa. After reading these stories, you might want to take a fresh look at the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible. You could almost substitute 'Antioch' or 'Ephesus' with 'Burundi' and it would read in a similar vein!

Here's a sample of what happened recently when young people were sent out to some of the most unreached parts of this African nation:

"In Muyinga, a prostitute called Victoria was kidnapped by cannibal witchdoctors who took a bite out of her thigh but found she tasted bitter (it sounds almost comical except that it is true - one of the female members of the team later on asked to see it to verify that she wasn't lying, and the mouth-shaped wound needed serious medical treatment). So the witchdoctors didn't eat her. Instead they cursed her and she became dumb. For three weeks she hadn't said a word when the evangelists arrived. She'd gone to the local administrator to press charges, and he challenged the team: 'If you want us to listen to you about your Jesus, then do something for this girl.' They promptly gathered around her, prayed in Jesus' name, and Victoria began speaking again! The whole community was blown away by this obvious demonstration of God's power. The administrator promptly offered them land to build a church, and two months on there is a church of a hundred members meeting there. Victoria is now a reformed ex-prostitute."

"At Mukabira, a powerful witchdoctor was converted. On the spot he became an evangelist, and invited the team to join him in addressing six other witchdoctors. Those six duly gave their lives to Christ. They brought out all their charms, idols and spells, and had a public burning session, at which point the local craftsmen who had made the idols were in uproar (remember what happened in Ephesus?). They complained: "How dare these people come from outside and introduce strange ideas which take away our business?" They complained to the local authorities. Three of the team members were arrested and beaten, and held overnight. In the morning, when it was established that they'd done nothing wrong, they were released. As they sat outside the police station still talking to several policemen, a tornado flared up. It is generally believed in Burundi that a tornado is actually an angry python underground sent by witchdoctors. The policemen fled as the tornado approached, but the three believers stood their ground, at which point the tornado split in two, went around them, and demolished two houses on either side of them. The policemen then returned totally awestruck, asking: 'Who are you people? What is your secret?' They replied: 'The One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.' More people were converted."
