Testimony

Global Aid Network (GAiN) drilled a water well in Segourou gah and the village life was transformed.
Toliko Sannon Tchabi Louis, the secretary for the borehole committee, said: “I thank God for the well He gave us through GAiN because it is doing a lot of good to the village. The water from the pump helps to fight against water-related diseases and illnesses that we used to suffer from – diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. We used to drink water from the stream that is 1.5 km from the village and our women wasted a lot of time fetching the water and then waiting for the dirt to settle. Unfortunately, we used to go to the same stream to fetch water for building and other uses. During wedding ceremonies or funerals, a lot of people would fall sick due to the quality of water we gave them. But, we suffer no more. We thank the Lord and thank GAiN.”
Shortly thereafter, the JESUS Film was shown and the village had an opportunity to hear about the Living Water. Fifty out of the 312 that attended decided to leave their worship of Voodoo and become followers of Jesus.
To help strengthen the existing believers as well as ensure growth and follow-up of the ones that made first-time commitments, an Assemblies of God church was planted in the village, allowing the Gospel to shine in the darkness of Voodoo.
