About 99% of the Digo people are followers of a major world religion. But this is mixed with their traditional animistic beliefs and witch doctors are still active. The Lord is slowly calling more Digo to Himself. Recently, a widow was among a group of Digo Christians who declared their faith in Christ through baptism. She said that the moment she declared that she had accepted Jesus into her life, her whole family turned against her. Seeing the successes that God had brought into her life, family members branded her a witchdoctor. However, she recognized that this was merely an attempt to justify their persecution of her. She remained steadfast and wouldn’t disown Christ though the family broke off all contact.
Having read in the Digo Scriptures that she should love her enemies, this lady loved her family and cried out to God for reconciliation with them. When one of her sisters was critically injured, the lady visited her in the hospital and prayed for her quick recovery. God used this as a turning point for the whole family. When this woman was healed and saw how her Christian sister loved and prayed for her, she became reconciled with her. Later the sister and their mother also chose the Christian path.
