| Benin is known as the birthplace of voodoo. |
A 17-year-old girl named Nogosa fled from her home on Sept. 13, 2026, after being severely beaten by her family for her faith in Christ. Nogosa had recently become a follower of Christ and was attending church services, angering family members who had dedicated her to become the wife of a voodoo priest. After the assault, they told Nogosa she must participate in upcoming voodoo initiation ceremonies. “These ceremonies often involve horrific assault and abuse,” said a front-line worker. Fearing for her life, Nogosa escaped to her pastor’s home, and now she and her pastor are asking for prayer in how to best help her. The front-line worker said the pastor and his family already face many pressures from area voodooists and the burdens of caring for their congregation.
Pray that Nogosa will remain faithful to Christ and be kept safe.
Pray for her to find a permanent safe place to live and for a way to earn income or for financial support.
Pray for her family that they will come to faith in Christ.
Pray for the pastor and his family, to be safe, and to be able to care for their congregation spiritually.
Benin is the birthplace of voodooism. Pray that many will flee from voodoism and find freedom in Christ.
