I have to post this somewhere. Why not here? It's about people getting set free, so.
There is an Infertility Community Group at Crossroads, which is just what it sounds like: a support/prayer group for couples who're not conceiving. Dora and I spoke at this group last year, before we were pregnant, and basically told these people that rejection is the reason we weren't getting pregnant and that we were going to fight this thing to the death and that we would win, not rejection, and we would be pregnant because God said so. Then we did get pregnant (! praise God!), and they asked us back in April to share our story and encourage the folks in the new class.
After the class, we prayed and prophesied with people, breaking off this infertile nonsense (it's anti-Bible, by the way, to think that it's in God's will that some people "just weren't supposed to have children". Hogwash). I prayed with two couples, and Dora prayed, along with another woman, with three. We just got word tonight that, out of those five couples, THREE have since conceived. Holy smokes. These are people who were told that, to even have a CHANCE of conceiving, they would have to do in vitro fertilization. One of the couples was told that they would simply never conceive (but we've heard THAT one before. Bah).
When God gave us our daughter in January, I came to know him as The God Who Makes Babies. He is still on his delivering, body-fixing, baby-making throne today. And I praise him praise him praise him!

That's simply AWESOME! The only thing better than your obedience and trust in sharing your story and praying with these couples is the obvious JOY you hold for them.
