Answered Prayer!
Sonny Custodio

Sonny, the son of our members Tito and Miriam, has been undergoing treatment for his lungs for the past few months. Not long ago, he was on life support and they did not think he would make it through.  However, he has improved dramatically, and is now being transferred to rehab.

This is one of the doctor's comments: “I do not believe in God or miracles but if there was ever one . . I’d call this a miracle. This is a mystery to me.”

"On Feb 8th doctors called us to GA to say our goodbyes. He was on every life support, It’s May 4th and Sonny will be moved to rehabilitation. Praise the Lord! God’s Force, His Spirit is with us! May the Force be with you! Thank you for your continued prayers."
