On November 3, 2019, nearly 2,000 Christians from 24 churches in northern Haiti marched to Bois-Caiman, a site dedicated to the devil in 1804, and today, an area rampant with Voodoo practice. They marched the three miles, singing and praying as they went, led by Pastor Lucner, dean of advancement at Emmaus University, to reclaim the area for Jesus.
Many Christians warned Pastor Lucner not to do this, saying it was too dangerous. But Lucner knew God had told him to do it. Many believers assured him of their participation, so they prayed and fasted for the two days prior to the event.
As the group marched, others joined them along the way. When they passed the road that led to the local cemetery, a man with a lot of Voodoo paraphernalia stood nearby. Someone talked to him, and he accepted Jesus as Savior and joined the march.
Pastor Lucner had sent five men ahead to the site to pray and observe the situation. They reported, “There are several people ready to attack anyone who comes.” Yet, no attacks occurred. They had also been warned that if a witch doctor approached to shake hands, Lucner would fall dead. Well, a witch doctor shook his hand several times … when nothing happened, the witch doctor walked away.
