Gambaga in October


I have been sharing the story of Joseph with the women on my visits to the Outcast Camp.  After hearing last week's story, one woman was sharing how she, like Joseph, has been falsely accused of doing horrific things that she says no one would do.  She has been at the camp for years and years.

The practice of accusing and banning those who have been accused of witchcraft has devastating consequences for many.  The older women here have grandchildren, many of whom they are no longer able to see.  They are no longer able to help out their daughters and daughters-n-law by watching the children for them while they do each day's work for their household.  The consequences of this practice are endless.

Ministering to these women is so worthwhile, such a needed ministry.  Thanks for your continued prayers.
