Pray that the medical clinics would speak God's love into people's lives on a deeply personal level opening them up to the gospel. Pray that the healing found at the medical clinics would dispel any power of the lies of the local witchdoctors. I feel is it vital to pray next to that prayer that God would protect us from spiritual warfare. If we are getting rid of witchdoctors, Satan will be none too happy with us.
Witchdoctors, though less common, are still in existence throughout much of Africa. At times they look like real doctors with the title of a witch doctor for tradition's sake, but often the voodoo and spiritual complexities still exist even within Christian communities that didn't know how to deal with their witchdoctor heritage in this new Christian life.
