Nigerian preacher promotes child abuse in the name of the Lord

A frightening story in yesterday's NYT profiles Helen Ukpabio, a Pentecostal evangelist from Nigeria who specializes in hunting down witches. She is one of several preachers in rural Nigeria whose teachings have resulted in children being horribly tortured and/or abandoned.

Their fellow villagers have often seen DVDs of "End of the Wicked," Ms. Ukpabio’s bloody 1999 movie purporting to show how the devil captures children’s souls. And some have read her book "Unveiling the Mysteries of Witchcraft," where she confidently writes that "if a child under the age of 2 screams in the night, cries and is always feverish with deteriorating health, he or she is a servant of Satan."

In what world is this not child abuse? Apparently not in the world of Glorious Praise Ministries in Houston, which recently invited this woman to preach at a service. When the NYT interviewed her, Ukpabio claimed that people are only ganging up on her because she's African. Oblivious, in denial, dangerous.

Ukpabio is one of several preachers profiled in "Saving Africa's Witch Children," a British documentary due to air on HBO2 on Wednesday. It details some of the horrific results of some of these evangelists' teachings in a country where belief in demonic possession is very strong.

Those disturbed by the needless immiseration of innocent children should beware. “Saving Africa’s Witch Children” follows Gary Foxcroft, founder of the charity Stepping Stones Nigeria, as he travels the rural state of Akwa Ibom, rescuing children abused during horrific “exorcisms” — splashed with acid, buried alive, dipped in fire — or abandoned roadside, cast out of their villages because some itinerant preacher called them possessed.

Ukpabio counters that Foxcroft's organization and the Children's Rights and Rehabilitation Network, a shelter and school that cares for abandoned children, are actually engaged in 419 fraud--with no evidence whatsoever to back up such an outrageous claim. Further, she's suing both charities and a Nigerian state that outlawed accusing children of witchcraft--and wants to permanently bar them from speaking out against her.

I look at this, and I wonder how in the world this woman isn't herself the target of a lawsuit, or isn't in prison somewhere. I've wondered how in the world African countries can even consider passing such horribly repressive laws against homosexuality. Now I know why--it's the same mentality that allows preachers to peddle the kind of garbage Ukpabio does more or less with impunity.

The tables turned . . . (5.00 / 1)

A few years ago, there were a students from Africa in a seminary I attended. Some of these were from the Anglican communion, and I was very surprised to learn that they were extremely conservative. In recent years, as the Episcopal church elected female and gay bishops, I've heard that now the some of the third world churches are considering the west as a mission field . . . we sent missionaries to them, and now it is their turn to send missionaries to us, because we have departed so far from what they consider the truth. This is all scary . . . In a post-enlightenment culture, someone wants to take me back to believing in witchcraft; it is their mission to take me back to that dark world. It is simply hard to believe, but true. Conservative shouldn't mean reactionary to the point of taking us back 400 years. Conservative (to me) meant simply being cautious before adopting things that are new and unproven. Conservative meant valuing the best of the past, and letting the worst go. I hope that for a few conservatives, it still means that. They help keep some of us unchecked liberals in line. But this is just plain frightening.

Helen Ukpabio and the New Apostolic Reformation? (5.00 / 1)

Helen Ukpabio calls herself an "Apostle," which sounds like she's connected with the "Apostolic and Prophetic" movement within charismatic Christianity. Does anyone here know whether she's connected with the "New Apostolic Reformation" networks in particular?

Over the past ten months or so, I've been putting together a collection of info on Witchhunts in Africa and Asia.

Richard Bartholomew has blogged quite a bit about Helen Ukpabio, including this post: Support for Helen Ukpabio against "Anti-Child Witchcraft" Campaign, February 13, 2010, in which Helen Ukpabio was identified as the General Overseer of Liberty Gospel Church (in Calabar, Nigeria), and is said to have been consecrated as an apostle by Nnadi E. Moses, Bishop of Overcomers Faith Mission, Lagos, affiliated with Overcomers Church World Outreach, and president of "Apostolic Impact Global Outreach" (AIG). Moses is quoted as cheering on the violent retaliation, by members of Liberty Gospel Church, against Leo Igwe and others at an anti-witchhunt conference.

Some American connections, according to the above-cited post by Richard Bartholomew: (1) Virgy Moses (wife of Nnadi E. Moses), a minister at Overcomer Church World Outreach, had been ordained a pastor at the Reach Out for Christ International Ministries in the U.S.A. (2) Faith World Outreach Church, based in Bartlett, Illinois, here in the U.S.A., pastored by Ed Weiss, has been supporting Bishop Moses for a long time. Does anyone here know whether Reach Out for Christ International Ministries and/or Faith World Outreach Church have connections to the NAR?
