Bringing spiritual freedom to the Trokosi
In the Trokosi culture of west Africa, animism and ritual fetishes hold sway over the lives of everyone, young and old. In some cases, girls as young as five years are given over into virtual slavery in the service of fetish priests. What does it take to bring spiritual (and in some cases, physical) freedom to a culture accustomed to such practices?
The IN Network has the answer: the Gospel of Christ. They’ve set up a website where you can learn more about the Trokosi and the outreach efforts underway in that culture. You can also watch a short video describing the troubling practice of “fetish priest slavery” and the IN Network’s efforts to replace spiritually destructive practices with the message of Jesus. Take a few minutes to learn about this important ministry, which seeks to bring freedom to a people long gripped by spiritual and physical slavery.
