Benoit&rsquo;s family beat him to convince him to forsake Christ, and when he refused, they went to a witch doctor, asking for a curse to make him go mad. Benoit began to struggle emotionally until a pastor prayed for him. After receiving prayer, Benoit felt peace. Benoit is staying with a front-line worker while he grinds corn to support himself. He hopes to one day have his own mill to work for himself. Pray for Benoit to be able to find work, and pray that he can lead his family to Christ.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2194\/man-cursed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post a prayer for Man Cursed on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benoit gave his life to Christ and the problems began.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":181,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-i-commit-to-pray","","tg-column-two"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
