[caption:] Samuel, prayer minister Standing on God’s Word Pays Off Thank you, KCM, for praying and believing with me for a job. When I first became unemployed, my wife and I made some decisions: We doubled our tithing on my wife’s part-time income as a way of declaring that God is our Source. And, we prayed for the right job at the right time, with the right colleagues, fewer overall hours and with a higher salary than my previous job. At times it was a challenge, but we continued to stand while I applied for jobs, attended a few classes and worked an occasional short-term job. During this time, we’ve had money to tithe, pay the bills and help others when needed. Recently, I accepted a generous job offer—it was everything we prayed for. Thank you for teaching us about walking in love and faith, and how to pursue and stand on God’s Word. I’m happy to return to work! D.R. | Canada God Raised Him Up I sent in a prayer request in January 2013 after hearing that a co-worker had been struck by a car just before Christmas. He was in a coma for 10 days. March 1, he walked back in to work as though nothing had happened. Glory to God! He says it was nothing he did and that all the credit goes to God. Praise the Lord, and thank you for your prayers. Mike D. | New Orleans, La. With God’s Help, Nothing Is Impossible When I was about 5 years old I was diagnosed with photosensitive epilepsy, which meant I would miss what was being said in class. I was given medicine to stop it from happening as much, and years later God healed me! Before He did, I had to have extra help with math, English and a few other subjects. I struggled with math the most, as I had missed some of the basics. My teacher told me I likely wouldn’t get a very high grade in math in the future. But praise God, He knew what I was capable of and helped me rise above. My most recent math exam grade—an A! This was so exciting to me, because I got a C on the exam before, and God moved me up not one grade, but two. My grades are important because I’m in my first year of General Certificate of Secondary Education studies. I know this was God’s doing and I will forever be grateful to Him. Thank you, KCM team, for the BVOV broadcast and magazine. My family and I enjoy them very much! Hannah F. | United Kingdom Our Miracle Baby A few months ago, my husband and I planted a small seed into KCM and asked for prayer for our baby. After 10 years of marriage we didn’t have any children, and the doctor said there was almost no chance of conceiving...that it would be a miracle. But God said something different, that I would have a son—a very sweet baby boy, a mighty man of God. I believe that miracle happened according to God’s plan, in a totally different way. In March 2013, my mummy called to ask if I wanted a baby which was about to be born—the mother was in critical condition. So we prayed for the mother and baby’s health, and asked for God’s leading. Many people had asked us to adopt a child, but every time we refused, because God didn’t lead us in it. But this time was different. God said to me, Hesitate not for I have a plan and purpose in that baby’s life (Jeremiah 1:4-5) and I will provide all his needs. Despite the mother taking very strong medication during pregnancy, which could have caused the baby to die, he is fine, healthy and well. Even the doctors are amazed! He was 7 days old when we brought him home and from that day on, God has provided each and every need of his. He is a true blessing to us! R.R.K. | Fiji Just in Time Thanks for praying in agreement with us a few years ago. Our faith car has arrived just in time! The old Buick died and a day later we were gifted with a 2005 Ford Taurus. It’s a beauty and rides like a cloud. Praise the Lord! L.M. | Canada 20 : BVOV : FEB '14
