Babies

As I gaze down at our newborn baby, I can't express enough the love and gratitude I have for God and this blessing He has bestowed upon us. However, reaching this point was a long journey for me and my husband, and thus we would like to share our testimony about how we were "Touched by Jesus".

Back in March 2010, our friends Dinah and Adrian brought me and my husband, Mark, to the Touch Jesus, He Heals! healing service at CVC. At the time, I was still mourning the loss from my second miscarriage and upset about being unable to have a baby like other 'normal' women, after all I was very healthy, didn't smoke, didn't drink and fairly young. My faith in God was slowly fading as I wondered why He allowed this to happen to me. I kept asking Him "Why me? What did I do wrong? Did I not pray hard enough? Am I not worthy to be a mother? Why let me get pregnant and then take away my babies?" Yes, you could say that deep down inside I felt abandoned by God. Yet strangely enough, something in me told me to ask Dinah to bring me to Touch Jesus, He Heals! after hearing her own testimony. Being our first healing service, Mark and I really did not know what to expect and came with some scepticism.

I was with my last job for 4 years. I really loved my job and worked hard to upgrade myself. During the course of my job there, I was promoted various times. Unfortunately, the company had to close down and they had to let me go.

Looking for a job proved to be very difficult. I am single with only a secondary 2 education and the job market was very competitive. I was jobless for 16 months. During this time, I lost faith in God and I had given up hope and confidence in Him. But He was constantly reaching out to me.

Our first and long-awaited grandson, Ethan Kong, was born on 1st October, 2010 to our children Ernest and Noeline. It was the most beautiful result of persevering and continuous prayer for over a period of two years, trusting that God would grant us the desire of our hearts.

Needless to say, we were all overjoyed when we first heard the good news, and throughout Ethan's 9-month development in Noeline's womb, we continually declared that he is 'fearfully and wonderfully made' (Psalm 139:14). During this time there were a few hiccups, but each time we turned to the Lord in prayer – and fighting the good fight of faith, knowing that He would keep her and baby well. AND GOD WAS ALWAYS FAITHFUL to deliver! Amen!

Three years ago, my husband and I knew from our church bulletin that Rev Francis Khoo from Covenant Vision was conducting a healing service in our sister church in Acts Centre. We felt convicted by the Holy Spirit to attend the service for healing of our infertility as we had been waiting and praying for a baby for nearly four years without any breakthrough nor answer from God.

During the healing service, Rev Francis requested for those who needed prayer to step out. Immediately, my husband and I went forward without any hesitation. An amazing thing happened when Rev Francis came to us and asked us a few questions. It was as if he already knew what we wanted to be prayed for, even before we could tell him our prayer and healing needs.
