Edy is a faithful member of our church. Her grandson was born 1 month premature. After 3 weeks of being on an incubator they sent him home. On his third day at home, a Sunday morning, the father arrived at the church asking if we could come pray for the baby. His breathing was irregular. The church people arrived and prayed for him to be healed before Doug would take them to the clinic. However, some did not think he was breathing. They loaded in the truck and went to the clinic. They were only there a few minutes when the doctor told them they had lost their baby. Obviously grief struck and since there is no preserving the body, arrangements for burial had to be made right away. Doug drove them all over getting a legal death certificate, getting a casket etc. That evening for the church service, we had a small "funeral" for baby Kender and many family members showed up.
The parents of the baby, Moreno and Kedania, have visited the church several times since their son's death. Just this past Thursday we had a ladies' meeting in the house of Kedania. We pray that it will cause her and Moreno to come to Jesus.
