The "Perfect" Family Finds True Freedom

Many families in south Asia have dark secrets as Geet’s family did.

Many families in south Asia have dark secrets as Geet’s family did.

Geet seemed to have the ideal family. She had a husband and two adult sons, and was devoted to her gods. She also had a daughter-in-law, Haimi, who was married to her oldest son. The younger son was studying for his Bachelors of Arts degree, and was in his final year of college.

Yet, there was a dark secret looming in Geet’s house. Every night at midnight, Haimi, her daughter-in-law, would wake up, scream aloud and run away from home.

A women’s ministry team led by Chandra was visiting that area. They knocked on Geet’s door, and she cautiously invited them in. She was skeptical, and asked them many questions about why they were there and where they had come from. After listening to their response, Geet decided to tell them about the family secret. She told them the details of Haimi’s strange behavior. Geet also shared how she had tried many rituals, including poojas and chanting mantras to get healing for her daughter-in-law. Nothing seemed to work though.

The women’s ministry team told Geet about the Good News of Jesus. After a time of fasting and seeking the Lord, they saw Haimi was released from her demonic bondage.

Geet and all of her family are now devoted to Jesus Christ. They go to a local church, and Geet and Haimi also attend a weekly women’s fellowship prayer meeting.

Geet’s family is now whole as they worship the one true God.
