Healthy Baby

This week at the Home of Hope we rejoice at the birth of a healthy 8 pound baby boy. Babies are a normal thing and so many are healthy, but I believe that Baby S is truly a miracle.

When his mama, Ala*, came to our home, she needed medical care. Infection and problems filled her womb. Not long after she came we found out she was pregnant. I first thought that there was no way this pregnancy would ever come to completion.

It was in July, after several rounds of antibiotics that the doctors said she was still filled with infection and that she'd have to be admitted in the hospital. She would most likely lose the baby.

The staff and residents of the Home gathered around her. We prayed fervently for her. My prayer for her, "Lord, reveal yourself to her. Show her Your power. Show her your love for her." The next day she went for more testing and all tests came back negative. All infection disappeared. Only last week I realized that from that moment on, her at risk pregnancy had become a normal pregnancy. This week we welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world.

I'm so thankful to Jesus for His power and work in the lives of the women at the Home. God is so good. He has a plan, not only for Ala's life, but the life of her daughter and son also.

Please continue to pray for our women, our staff and our country, Moldova.
