Labor Day Miracle

Many of you have been praying for Xander Martz, a 15 month old baby in my church. Early last week he was hospitalized and scheduled for major surgery. Prior to his surgery, his condition deteriorated and he was placed on a ventilator. The doctors tried to remove the ventilator three different times, and he was unable to breath on his own. The young parents were told that he would not get better, and were advised to remove him from the ventilator and let him die. On his way to the hospital early Sunday morning, the young father stopped by the church and asked to be anointed for his son one last time before they removed the ventilator. We gathered around the altar, laid hands on him, and prayed for a miracle. At 2pm yesterday they removed the ventilator with orders NOT to resuscitate if the baby stopped breathing. The baby struggled initially, but began breathing normally, and is now out of ICU and in a regular hospital room. His parents report that he is more responsive and alert than he has been in three months! The doctors and nurses are amazed, and God is getting all the glory!

Be reminded that we serve a God of miracles! I am trusting in God for my own miracle. Do you need one? Remember, nothing is impossible with God! Please pray for me tomorrow as I have a CAT Scan at 9:30 a.m. to check the status of my cancer. I will let you know how things go. I love you!
