Young Woman Flees Secret Society Initiation

[152] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for Lucee.

A young woman fled rather than participate in a secret society initiation. In Sierra Leone, secret societies practice demonic rituals that include bodily mutilation of members as well as the ritualistic killing of humans to appease local spirits. Lucee lived in a Muslim village where one of these secret societies is active. As her initiation approached, she visited a church and heard the pastor talking about evils done by secret societies. Afterward, she went home and told her mother she no longer wanted to be initiated, but her mother rejected the idea. On the day of her initiation, Lucee fled to the pastor’s home, and his wife took her and hid with her in the forest. Secret society members attacked the pastor, but Lucee escaped. Her sister was taken for initiation instead and died the same day. Lucee has now become a follower of Christ, and the pastor moved her to a safe location, where she is growing in her new faith.
