One night (in Belgium), I'm awake when I distinctly heard twice "Blendio, Blendio. The next day I did some research and found out that Blendio is the name of a small town, 80 km west of Sikasso. Because of this revelation, we visited Pastor Ely Kamate that inhabits this city of 12,000 inhabitants, including nearby villages. He worked as a missionary in his own country of Mali. Authorities and residents have welcomed the Blendio, here with his family on the plot where they live. Everywhere Ely talking with people, testifies to his faith. Some interest, but the fetish forbade people to become Christian. Every Sunday the family prays alone. 4 children know no other Christian children there. At an annual ceremony, the fetish wash the head of all the people with holy water. Pastor Ely explained that this was contrary to his faith. He warned that if it does not submit, a family member might die. It was unfortunately already happened to another Muslim family before. Ely testified that Jesus is more powerful than the spirits that He has all the power in heaven and on earth, He will keep. He did not attended the ceremony. The people were amazed: no one died in the family's pastor! His Lord is powerful! Glory to God! At Christmas, Ely invited all authorities and residents to a dinner party and announces the result of the coming of Christ. And even if people do not have permission to convert, the mayor gave a plot to build a church! Pray for the ministry of Ely Kamate.
