ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA (ANS) -- Chaitanya
John pastors a GFA-affiliated church in Andhra Pradesh, India. He and
his wife Achala have been married for eight years and have been praying
for quite some time that the Lord would bless them with a child. In
early 2007 Achala conceived, but a doctor's appointment soon after
revealed that Achala had tumors in her womb. This led to a miscarriage.
Grieved and discouraged, Chaitanya and Achala admitted that
they sometimes wondered if they would ever have children, but they did
not give up hope.

"We
knew that our Lord, who was there with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
in the fiery furnace, could also help us in our time of need," said
Chaitanya. |
Chaitanya and Achala asked all the believers in their
church, and
all the pastors they knew, to join with them in prayer for Achala's
healing. One night while she was sleeping, Achala heard a voice tell
her that the tumors were gone, and that she was healed. So Chaitanya
and Achala went to the doctor again who confirmed that the tumors were
gone. The Lord had answered their prayers. As a result of this miracle
many of the villagers, who had once mocked the couple for being
childless, were amazed. Suddenly, they were open to knowing about Jesus
Christ.
Chaitanya and Achala rejoice at the Lord's work in their
lives, that He is not only taking care of them, but using their lives
to draw others to Jesus. Chaitanya asks for prayer that the Lord will
keep Achala in good health and that He will give them a child, and also
that the Lord's name will continue to be honored and lifted high in
this community.
