\"Sophie<\/a>Have you ever thought about the spiritual battles that missionaries face when ministering in primitive locations to tribal people groups?\u00a0\u00a0 Or, even the threat of physical harm?<\/p>\n

Spiritual battles and physical harm were no strangers to itinerant missionary Sophie Mueller in the 1950’s as she traveled from village to village nestled along the banks of the tributaries in the upper Amazon River basin.\u00a0 Sophie would arrive in a village and tell the people that she was sent from the God of Creation to teach them the way to heaven.\u00a0 Some listened but many were skeptical.<\/p>\n

One such man thought, \u2018Well, if Sophie really was sent here by God, then she will not die if I feed her poison.\u2019\u00a0 Wanting to make sure his \u2018test\u2019 was certain to be \u2018supernatural\u2019 he put enough poison into her food to kill 5 men!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

That night after Sophie ate a portion of the poisoned food, she became ill and vomited.\u00a0 Not wanting to offend the giver of the food, she put the rest into a gourd, quietly set it outside for the animals, and went to bed.<\/p>\n

The next morning the man found his rooster dead beside the gourd of partially eaten food, but Sophie was alive and ready to begin the teaching.\u00a0 He thought, \u2018If her God is powerful enough to save her from the poison then I need to listen to her teaching\u2019.\u00a0 That man did believe in God\u2019s Salvation through Jesus Christ and he later became a church leader among the Baniua people of Brazil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
