This man takes care of the little statues that people worship and burn candles to. So sad.
Macumba (A sacrifice to the spirits to bless or to curse someone)
It is estimated that about 60% of the population participate in some type of spiritism. We have seen many macumba sacrifices along the side of the road. The sacrifices must always be made near an intersection. An intersection resembles a t the letter t resembles the cross. Ummm very interesting.. Too bad they do not accept the blood that was already shed for them by our Lord Jesus Christ! Heb 10:10 "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
They worship the Cross but not the Jesus who died on the Cross!
Pray for us brethren there is much work to be done!
