He Does All Things Well!

We just received this news from the director of the baby center. The October NMC team was concerned about Elijah and many have been praying here in America as well!

“People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well,‟ they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.‟. ~Mark 7:37~

I often tell people that if you want to learn very many things about God and His Kingdom, then you should spend some time with us at AGC Baby Centre. It is not that we are especially holy people—no more so than any other followers of Christ. It’s not that we are more schooled in theology or have known more than the average Christian. It’s just that God is daily doing things here in and through the lives of these children that cannot be explained any other way apart from His working. And so it is that on many days the veil is pulled back, and we get to see a glimpse of the reality of how His Kingdom is to be.
One such case that has happened recently is the healing of our Elijah. Our medical staff here were quite certain that Elijah was deaf. In fact, Elijah was deaf. He didn’t respond to any noise in the way that babies do. Hand clapping, key jingling, even loud construction noises that would startle every other baby here—those would bring absolutely no response from Elijah. Our staff began to pray. Just a few weeks ago, Elijah started responding to noise, and even now answers to the calling of his name! We simply asked for healing in the name of Jesus, and He did it! Some people may say, “Maybe he was never really deaf. Maybe he just wasn’t responding at the time.” But we will not steal the Lord’s glory by explaining it away as something else. We prayed, the Lord did a miracle, and we praise Him!
We have seen a very personal testimony that “He even makes the deaf hear.” We ask that you join us in thanksgiving for Elijah’s healing and also that you join us in prayer for another baby. After several attempts at testing, we have seen that baby Grace is not hearing at all. Will you join us in prayer for her? We ask for healing, but whether or not her hearing is restored, we pray that her life will be guarded and her soul preserved for the One who does everything well.
Trusting in the One who does everything well,
