My Sister Margarita Avilez and her husband Eduardo Avilez are members of First Assemble with Pastor Cortez. I was invite to attend of June 17 while you had the healing campaign, I’m so glad I attended and I thank you for this work you are doing. I have so much to share as to how God has been so great to us and how amazing is the way he works in our lives, but this time I would like to tell you about my little Emily.
My daughter Emily was born on August 12, 2005 after a doctor had told me that for me and my husband to have a child was 1 in a million chance. When the doctor gave us the news it was a really sad time but we decided not to try any of the many methods that are offered out there, however I did ask God to help us (please keep in mind my husband was born again in 1999 but he is not strong in his faith yet). Sure enough God always gives us surprises! I was Schedule to have an operation for endometriosis on November. Of 2004 and after the pre- op appointment I received a call that I had to come back to get a blood test done again because they thought I might be pregnant!! The doctor said “we will not have to do the operation because pregnancy helps your condition and you are pregnant” God took care of all.
During the ultrasounds they told us about a possible kidney condition on the baby and at 6 months. Emily was diagnosed with vesicourethal reflux; this affects her bladder and left kidney. She has been on Medication since then, hospitalized 2 times and gone through many painful tests. On the last test the nephrologists said that her condition has worsened and that she will need surgery. I couldn’t believe she was doing so well so far without infections or fevers. The days went by I didn’t even want to think at what Emily will have to go through. I asked God to help me because I was not strong enough to handle this. On the other hand my husband has always been able to stay calm on all situations but I could see about this time he was worried. 2 months almost went by and the date to see the surgeon was approaching, it is then my brother in-law Eduardo invited me to go to a healing campaign, I knew I had to go, it was the step of faith that God wanted me to take but most important for my husband to go as well. I really didn’t know if he would accept to go but he did. He went, and that night he took Emily in his arms and was one of the first ones to step forward. Thank you so much to God, and all of you for this ministry. The next day we went to the appointment and the surgeon said “evaluating all, I believe Emily still has a 50/50 chance of outgrowing this problem, no surgery at this time” This was a time for Joy for me, I knew God had done his work. Remembering back to her chance of 1 in a million, now she has a 50/50, that’s nothing for God. We will go back next year for testing But I know God will continue his work, I know that night she that she was prayed for, god provided healing and God touched my husband’s heart. I pray that he will continue to show me the way he wants me to walk and that he will let me see my husband come closer to him.
Thanks again. It is for his glory that I share my testimony and I ask God to help you and bless you everywhere you go.
Sincerely,
Giannina Woods and family.
