He visited doctors and voodoo practitioners, but nothing seemed to help. Then a friend urged him to come to church. When Marc heard the gospel, he became a follower of Christ and was physically healed, later deciding to receive baptism. When he returned home from the baptismal service, his voodooist father had hired people to beat him. His father was upset that Marc, his oldest son, would forsake his duties to the family’s voodoo rituals and told him to leave. Marc stayed at a relative’s house, but some family members locked him in a room and tried to force him to return to pagan practices. Eventually he escaped through a window. Today, he lives with a pastor’s family, is trying to find a job, and hopes someday to preach the gospel. He said, “What made me to have courage is Jesus says in the Bible, ‘I will never abandon you.’” Click here to find out about Christian persecution in Benin and learn how to pray.
