I am a missionary and also pastor in charge of the Christian Assembly in Begoua, Central African Republic. Since 1997, the war and the political-military troubles have been shaking the Central African Republic. Now the situation in the country has escalated to the point of having inter-ethnic slaughter.
I was living in Northen Bangui, where most of the people are Muslim. During the slaughters of December 15th, 2013, the other believers had left the area, but my family and I had stayed.
On January 5th, 2014, there was also another slaughter of Christians and a Pentecostal pastor was murdered with his 15-year-old son. We were informed by telephone since we could not go outside for fear of being murdered as well. A few moments after the phone call, while we were still lamenting about the death of the pastor, the same group who murdered this Pentecostal pastor arrived at my place and tried to enter by force.
At this very moment, my wife, three children, and I began to pray, and I prayed, speaking this to God according to the words of Brother Branham:
We were all out in spiritual prostitution, committing spiritual fornications against the God of heaven in all kinds of stuff, all kinds of denominations and religions. But when we heard that there was a God that still lived, that could perform miracles, quickly we received the message.
There was applied the Blood of the Lord Jesus, which made the scarlet cord. And to keep from going into detail, you know how she hung it from her window, publicly, the Blood was displayed publicly. That's the way the Blood's got to be displayed, publicly hanging from the outside of the wall to show that on the inside something had taken place. That's the way the true believer in Christ is this morning; on the outside is the display of the Blood of the Lord Jesus, that shows something took place on the inside.
And through this, God looked down when the wrath fell and the trumpets begin to blow; God seen that scarlet cord hanging there as a memorial. It's always pleased Him to pass over the Blood. "When I see the Blood, I'll pass over you." He saw it. And when the shaking and the Holy Spirit rumbled the earth and shook down them walls, some twenty-feet thick, not one rock fell where that cord was hanging: shows the protection of a true God to a true believer, no matter what state you're in when He finds you, if you'll just accept that scarlet cord.

I also said, “Lord, I sincerely believe that this Message is the blood and these tapes are the Voice of God. How could you let the angel of death come into this place where your Voice is and your Blood is applied? As you said, "When I see the blood, I will pass over you".
I believe God was under obligation to recognize His Word, and the rebels never succeeded in coming through the door, despite all the weapons that they had with them.
I could say just like Job, "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee."
Not only me, but my children also saw God. This is the reason why when we left Bangui, we left everything behind except the CDs of the Message. As they say, this is what saved us.
Not only my wife and children saw God at work, but also the driver who brought us to Cameroon. When we arrived in Cameroon, instead of us paying him the transportation fees, it was the other way around and it is the driver who paid us, because he saw God's miracles in action all along the route, and he saw how God also protected us all along the way. When we arrived in Yaoundé, Cameroon, my family was not feeling safe until we were able to hear the Voice of God playing in our house...
Our beloved brothers in Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Cameroon helped us very much, and they helped give us the opportunity to acquire a laptop computer to listen to Brother Branham. I am also very grateful to the VGR library in Yaoundé who gave me a few booklets. My family is satisfied because we once again have the Voice and the Blood in our home. Special thanks to Brother Joseph Branham for the Message that he gives to us. Also thanks to the Message which protected us and is the reason why we are still alive.
In conclusion, Brother Branham said:
But there must have been some tape boys slipped in somewhere, for the predestinated seed. They slipped over to her house and played some tapes. She made her--her own house a church, to receive the Message.
They still got them, you know.
I want to be one of these brothers for Rahab of today to be saved. Because "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15
To God be the Glory!
