Church members and community leaders had gathered for prayer following a series of murders in their town in western Kenya when a young man burst in and confessed to raping and killing six young women.
The gathering was part of a three-day prayer event called in response to violence against young women and children.
“As the prayer was going on, this 29-year-old man ran into the meeting and started confessing all the past killings of the six girls that he had killed in the maize plantations,” said the native ministry leader who organized the event. “This man was so confused and possessed by demons, and as we prayed for him, he cried and groaned in pain.”
The local missionaries prayed for deliverance and salvation as the commotion drew more people to the meeting tent—including some bent on lynching the killer and burning his body, the leader said.
“This man was so confused and possessed by demons, and as we prayed for him, he cried and groaned in pain.”
“We called the police, who arrested him for interrogation to find more of his friends who had been committing the killings,” he said. “This man was charged in court, and in court he confessed Christ, saying that he will not kill again and now is born again.”
In the following months, the attacks on young women and children that had terrorized the town came to a stop.
