In South Asia, Elvan* was up at war with the enemy. Possessed by an evil spirit, she often spoke in foreign languages she didn’t know. She was an outcast in her community … a blabbering madwoman.
Overtaken by darkness, there was nothing pure or good about her.
But a God she did not know was sending messengers of good news to her aid in the form of East-West national partners. For three days, these visitors shared the gospel in her village before they met Elvan.
The crowds flocking to hear the national partners’ stories had grown greatly as interest in Jesus peaked. Elvan was curious about this Man and entered their meeting tent to hear the message.
Her spiritual condition was quickly exposed as the demon dwelling inside her took control. Knowing the Name of Jesus made demons flee, the national partners prayed over Elvan and God instantly cast out the dark spirit. Her healing was a miracle, and Elvan responded with faith in the gospel and received the Spirit of God.
That day Elvan was delivered from darkness and given a new life in Jesus Christ.
