FREEDOM AND TRANSFOR- MATION IN CHRIST SOUTHEAST ASIA Dep * experienced mysterious , painful health issues . She went to her doctor repeatedly but couldn ’ t get a diagnosis for her condition . Eventually she sought help from a fortuneteller named Chau .
Chau told Dep she was demonpossessed . In order to have freedom , she said Dep must make offerings three times a day , each
time paying an amount equivalent to a full day ’ s wages for many locals in her country . When that didn ’ t work , Chau consulted other fortunetellers . They concluded that the only way for Dep to find deliverance would cost an average oneyear salary — including hospital expenses . This still did not deliver her , though .
After three years of pain and bondage , Dep and her family happened to see the JESUS film and gave it little thought . But soon her pain worsened . She was on the edge of losing hope and desperate for help .
Dep remembered the film she ’ d watched — especially the scene portraying Jesus healing a demon-possessed
boy . She visited one of the ministry workers , Giang , to learn more about this miracle-worker . Giang shared about Christ , and as Dep soaked it in , she decided to trust Him as her Savior !
Giang called her pastor and other church leaders to come pray for Dep and her family . After placing trust in Christ , Dep ’ s pain got even worse . Giang , the pastor , and the church leaders came back and prayed over Dep and her house continually for one week .
On the last day , Dep ’ s husband had a vision of a man dressed in white coming to pray for Dep . In that moment , she was completely healed ! Dep is now in good health , and her whole family faithfully worships God . Praise Him for His transforming power in the lives of Dep and her family ! JFP
