Prayer Texting for a Miracle

CBN.com – INDONESIA - Nova and Andri's first child was just one month old when they noticed that his navel was getting larger.
"We were very concerned. It grew to the size of an adult thumb," Andri said.
So Nova and Andri took baby Ken to the doctor. His diagnosis - an umbilical hernia.
"The doctor said that Ken needed to be operated on very soon," Andri recalled.
"I was afraid. I could not imagine that my baby had to go through a surgery," Nova said.
Nova called her sister to ask her to pray. Her sister, Lenny, sent a text message to CBN Indonesia's prayer counseling center asking them for prayer.
As the couple made plans for the surgery, they continued to ask CBN to pray with them for their baby's hernia. That's when it happened! Over a two week period, the herniated navel started to shrink until it was perfectly normal! The baby's doctor was very surprised!
"From my experience, this is something that rarely happens! But, in Ken's case, it was gone in only a couple of weeks," their doctor reported.
"Not operation, no medication, Ken's hernia healed by itself!" Andri exclaimed.
"I sent a text message to thank CBN. I wanted then to know the impact they made on us and on so many people; to rejoice with us that their prayers were answered," Nova said.
