Police found the body of Aribo’s brother under his hut. To unusual murder even stranger, the corpse didn’t have a heart. Someone had removed it. «Heart hunters!» the village people gasped, remembering that in parts of Africa the people consider a human heart valuable medicine. Some wicked men had even killed people in order to steal their hearts.
About that time two students from an Adventist school arrived to do some fund-raising. «Those two men,» the village witch doctor announced, «are the heart hunters. They killed Aribo’s brother.»
Needless to say, the villagers didn’t exactly welcome the visitors to their huts after that. «Get away from us!» the people demanded.
But when the students tried to board the truck that would take them back to school, the passengers threw them off. They couldn’t leave nor could they stay.
The next day a kindly truck driver invited them to sit with him in his cab. That seemed to satisfy the passengers. But the truck hadn’t gone two miles when it overturned on a steep corner and injured everyone except for the two students.
«They have magic charms in them,» the witch doctor announced. «We must welcome them with open arms.»
Now the Adventist young men could move freely in the village. Everyone gave generously, hoping that some of those magic charms would rub off on them.
God can use any situation to His glory if we’re willing to endure a few lies and taunts. Give Him time, and you, like those students, can become he heart hunters of the spiritual kind, stealing souls from the devil and bringing hope to those held hostage by evil.
