A pastor’s daughter was shot by persecutors, but has survived. Tribal spirit worshipers in a remote part of the DRC demanded that a Christian pastor hand over his church’s musical instruments for their occult practices. When he refused, they returned later to kill him. He wasn’t there, but his 21-year-old daughter Odette was. The attackers cut off two of her fingers and told her to kneel so they could execute her. They shot her above her left cheekbone, and the bullet exited through the right side of her jaw. Odette survived and said later, “I felt a peace in spite of the situation.” She was rushed to Uganda, where surgeons struggled to repair the damage. She remains confident in her faith in Christ, and because of this, she doesn’t seem to worry about her situation. Odette needs additional surgery, however, which she hopes to receive within the year.
Please pray…
Praise God for sparing Odette’s life and for her strong faith.
Pray that the Lord will continue to be her source of peace, joy, and hope and that He will bless her and her family.
Pray that she will be able to get the surgery that she needs to repair the damage caused by the bullet.
