In 2022 or early '23 a friend of the ministry, Shiny Crown, lost her first child in the womb. It was life threatening for Shiny also, but the Lord heard our cries and she slowly recovered. The doctors gave her only a 20% chance of even getting pregnant again, but by His grace she became pregnant in late 2023. By the 4th or 5th month of her 2nd pregnancy, again she and the baby were in a critical situation, and Shiny was confined to the bed. It is surely a miracle that she even got pregnant, and then had this beautiful little girl August 12th, who they named Ecclesia. We normally would spell it Ekklesia, the Greek word which we translate as "church", referring not to a building, but to the people who are followers of Christ. Pray for Shiny, her husband Paul, and little Ecclesia.
