From Burundi: “I once was bound by the chains of paganism.”

November 26, 2024

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” -Isaiah 61:1

“I once was bound by the chains of paganism … but now I am free,” says a listener in Burundi. Here’s more of His story:

“I want to express my deep appreciation for THRU the BIBLE in Swahili. It holds a special place in my heart, as it has led me to Jesus. In the past, I was completely immersed in paganism. However, a friend encouraged me to listen to your program regularly. Without a doubt, after some time of listening, I found salvation through it. I have made the decision to dedicate myself to serving the Lord Jesus Christ. I am immensely grateful to you for transforming my life. May God bless you.”

Praise God for the new life of this brother and pray that many more in Burundi will follow. May His Word heard on THRU the BIBLE continue to proclaim liberty to those who are bound and bring healing to the brokenhearted throughout Africa.
