This story shows how powerful the Gospel is.
Helen of World Missionary Press narrates about a community which had become a stronghold for satanic activity where a spiritual leader who locals called the devil lived. He had followers and the people in that area obeyed and feared him.
"The believers there were really hesitant to even enter this area," Helen says.
"A missionary was in the country, and he decided that he was going to visit this town. So, the report says he went into this town, and he found this man, sitting in front of a little shop. He said, ‘I sat down beside him, I shared the Gospel, I shared about heaven and hell. We both knew that many in the town were watching us from a distance. As I left, he publicly laughed and he ridiculed me.
"About a month later, he found me in another town. As I approached him on a motorbike, he began waving frantically in the road. He beckoned me to stop.
He said, "We need to talk. I want to know more about God, heaven, and hell." We sat and talked. I reminded him about our time in front of the shop and he said, "Yes, I was only laughing on the outside.
Helen says this is truly a testimony of how God’s Word has the
power to break down spiritual strongholds. Furthermore, she says, "I
just think that’s a wonderful demonstration that there is no one beyond
the grace of God."

"Today, this man, Peter, is a believer.
He comes to our base to collect training material that we print on our
printing press to take to the church that he attends in that town.'"
