Douglass Family in Sri Lanka

I received this cool little story about God's deliverance from my friend Rob Douglass of Saving Grace World Missions.

One of the greatest joys of being in Sri Lanka is the precious people God has brought into our lives. We have built a close friendship with a Christian Sri Lankan woman named Ann. Several months ago, Ann’s sister’s husband died. During the funeral, a Buddhist man chanted something over the sister’s teenage daughter. Ann shared with us, in tears that the daughter would not eat, would fall into trances and speak with a man’s deep voice and had tried to cut herself with a knife. They were terrified and did not know what to do. We prayed with her, encouraging her of God’s great power over the demonic forces of evil. We called the pastor of Calvary Chapel Colombo, telling him of the situation.  Immediately, he went to the family’s home and prayed for the girl. 

The Lord delivered her this demonic possession and a great peace filled their home. They noted right away that all fear was gone and that very night they were able to sleep in peace. Ann’s sister and her daughter now attend Calvary Chapel Colombo. We watch this young girl worship the Lord, free from Satan’s grasp- filled with the new life that can only come through Christ.
