More than 60% of Sierra Leoneans are Muslims and nearly 13% are Christians. Despite identifying publicly with a particular religion, an estimated 90% of Sierra Leoneans are aligned with secret societies that dominate all aspects of life in the country. These societies practise demonic rituals that include bodily mutilation of society members. Those who leave secret societies when they place their faith in Christ are persecuted and even risk being killed.
Georgieta’s family worshipped demonic spirits in an area where human sacrifice is said to still occur. When Georgieta became a Christian, she refused to participate in her family’s occultic rituals, so her parents forced her out of the house. Homeless, Georgieta lived with a pastor and his family.
Later, Georgieta’s father became ill, and her family planned to ritually sacrifice her, hoping it would heal her father. Georgieta escaped, but when her father later died of the illness, Georgieta’s mother blamed her for his death. She then attacked and tried to kill Georgieta. Afterwards, Georgieta fled from her hometown. She now lives in a safe location where she is receiving biblical teaching and training to become a seamstress.
