Testimony

I write to give God all glory for His faithfulness toward my family. I got married in September 2001. At the time I was desirous of starting a family immediately and nothing was happening. I wrote the KCM office in South Africa and helpful material was sent to me. 
In the course of time, fibroid tumors found during a scan had become quite big and I was advised to consider medical intervention. I left this option for some time because I was not ready, but had the surgery in 2009. I called the London office and they prayed with me. To God’s glory the surgery was successful and I recovered well; however, I still could not get pregnant.
A consultant advised us to consider Assisted Reproductive Technology (IVF). By this time I had advanced in age and the odds were against me really, but we still trusted God, stood on the Word, paid our tithes, and sowed seeds to the church and into the lives of others. As God led me and guarded my heart, I watched the BVOV broadcast as much as I could and read the BVOV magazines—especially the testimonies. I also rejoiced with others, though this was quite challenging, but God helped because I knew within me that surely my own day of celebration would come. I also stood on Psalm 113:9 and Hebrews 11:11.
The procedure was quite expensive but the Lord provided the money for us. In March 2010, we had the first cycle and it failed. We were disappointed but knew it was not over, so we prepared again and made some adjustments, like letting God know our faith was not resting in the wisdom of man but in God’s power. In September 2010 we repeated the cycle and on Sept. 17, I was confirmed pregnant. When medical science gave me no hope at 45 years of age, it was no small thing when a scan revealed a multiple pregnancy. 
The Lord upheld us throughout the duration of the pregnancy. I relocated to the U.K. in February 2011 for better management of the pregnancy and myself—I was considered high risk medically. Toward the end, my blood pressure went erratic and I had to be hospitalized. In spite of all odds, medical and otherwise, April 15, 2011, our precious sons, David, Daniel and Paul, arrived. Though born prematurely, they were perfect and only stayed briefly in the special care unit. They came two weeks before my 46th birthday to make it a very special year for me.
I thank you, KCM, for praying and standing with me every step of the way, all these years. To God alone be all the glory and honor for His faithfulness.
