Minister and child rescuer Troy Brewer shared a stunning firsthand account of what he says was a supernatural encounter with a giant while serving in Chiapas, Mexico—an area where his ministry has long worked to rescue children from trafficking.
Speaking with host Katie Souza, Brewer explained that the experience did not happen in isolation, but in the larger context of spiritual warfare surrounding the rescue of exploited children.
“We rescue kids in Chiapas, Mexico, and we have a ministry that rescues children all over the world out of sexual trafficking,” Brewer said. “I’ve been doing that for 30 years. And when you do that, you come across really blurry stuff.”
According to Brewer, the region carries a long history of darkness, ritual abuse and stories of a giant presence. He said that when groups of children disappeared, local people would say, “They fed them to the giant.”
At first, Brewer thought such language was symbolic. But that changed during a prayer gathering on what local believers called “prayer mountain.”

Brewer recalled sitting outside while a group of intercessors prayed over him for hours. As he looked across the landscape, he noticed something unusual on a nearby ridge. “There was this one big lone tree, and I thought that’s odd that there’s only one big tree there,” he said.
Later, when he looked back, he was startled to see what appeared to be a second tree where there had only been one.
Then, he said, the impossible happened.
“As I was looking at it and as I was pondering it, this second tree… all of a sudden, it transformed and two arms came out of the side of it, and two legs appeared, and it turned into a being, and it made a couple of moves, and then it turned back into a tree again,” Brewer said.
Brewer said the figure repeatedly shifted between tree-like camouflage and humanoid form. “That is a regional entity. That is a regional little ‘G’ god. That is the giant that they’ve been talking about,” he said. “This thing had a physicality about it. It wasn’t a poof kind of demon. It had a true physicality about it.”
When Brewer realized the being seemed to be listening to the prayers going up from the mountain, he confronted it directly. “I leaned forward, and I said, ‘I see you, you devil,’” he said. “I am here in the name of King Jesus, and we’re going to rescue so many kids, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Brewer said the entity immediately changed into a more menacing form. “It changed into a very scary form,” he said. “He didn’t care who saw him after that because I told him I saw him.”
Wanting confirmation, Brewer called over his son Ben and asked him what he saw. Without being prompted, Ben replied, “It’s a giant.” Brewer answered, “Yes, sir. It sure is.” He then brought over another ministry leader, Jerry, who also reportedly reacted with alarm.
Local pastors were not surprised. Brewer said when he asked if anyone had ever spoken of a giant in the area, “all the pastors went, ‘Yeah, there’s one that lives on top of that mountain right up there.’”
The moment was not about spectacle. It was about the reality of spiritual opposition surrounding the mission to save vulnerable children. Even so, his conclusion was unwavering: “We are going to rescue children here. Your days of getting away with this is done.”
