Miracle in Beijing at an Orphanage You Help Support

Dear Friends,
Once again we have had another miracle!!!!

Things didn’t go according to plan.

When we asked if they could simply patch the hole, the doctors told us that the damage to Claire’s esophagus was too severe. They expected to find a significant amount of damaged tissue surrounding the hole in her esophagus from months of food and stomach acids seeping out of the hole. The only question remaining for her surgical team was how much of the esophagus would need to be removed?
They planned to cut out the damaged part of her esophagus and patch the two healthy sections together. They warned that if a large section were damaged, they would need to remove it all, and she’d live with life-long repercussions. It would be difficult for her to keep food down, and she’d always struggle with severe indigestion.
We began praying that they’d only need to remove a small section of the esophagus. But we also prayed that the doctors would be amazed with what they found.
On the morning of the surgery, they told us it would take at least 6 hours to complete the repair. So when her surgeons came out of the operating room, with beaming smiles and a sense of wonderment in their eyes, we knew we were in for a good surprise.
They found the hole. They hadn't thought it would be possible to locate the exact location of the original damage.
The tissue surrounding the hole wasn’t damaged at all; it was strong and healthy. It showed no signs of exposure to months of stomach acid or the expected consequences of months of an unrepaired injury.
It was perfectly fine. A divine healer had been at work before they ever began the operation, and all they needed to do was patch up one small hole. The surgery only took 4 hours, and her doctors expect her to make a full recovery. Though Claire's miraculous story isn't quite finished yet -- she needs an operation for TGA, a heart condition -- on this day, our prayers were answered and the doctors were amazed.
And so were we… once again, God showed himself mighty in a Beijing operating room. He never forgets when one of his children needs His help. He is a God who does miracles and shows His power among the nations. Psalm 77:14 - Written by Carrie Mckean
Thank you for once again standing with us in the gap. Please pray that she will heal quickly and will be able to come home soon.
