God miraculously answers a couple’s prayer despite receiving the doctor’s report that they will most likely will never be able to have kids.
Chris and Kristina Avila
The Christian couple, Chris and Kristina Avila, shared their testimony about how God faithfully answered their prayer. It was midnight when Chris got home from 3 days of speaking in a youth camp, and his wife unexpectedly delivered a sad news. Kristina walked into their room and started crying. “I just had a regular annual check-up with my doctor, and told me that I had an auto-immune issue called polycystic ovarian syndrome,” Kristina shared. This is the leading cause of women’s infertility. According to Chris, the doctor said she would most likely never going to have kids.
Meanwhile, Chris’ faith remained steadfast despite the bad report that they received. “There is just something that my spirit does. Like we’re not gonna take that news, we’re gonna believe for greater. We’re gonna believe God to do something greater. That’s it’s His will for us to have a family,” Chris testified.

Couple’s Prayer
The couple chose to surrender to God and submit their heart’s desire through prayer. Every night, Chris would lay hands on his wife’s stomach and speak life to her womb. He believed that God could perform a miracle. Indeed, God answered them. They got pregnant for the first time, but unfortunately, lost the baby. And that painful experience left them devastated.
“After every miscarriage, it kind of just, the blows hit different… I felt broken as a woman. Like the one thing that I can do as a woman like I just couldn’t do,” Kristina recalled. On the other hand, Chris’ faith was also shaken, and he started asking God difficult questions. But their story doesn’t end there.
A friend referred them to a doctor who could help Kristina. The doctor encouraged her to stay healthy by changing her diet. Within two months of disciplined habits, they had breakthrough. “Before I knew it, I was pregnant again…I know that I had to rely on God to just sustain me and sustain this pregnancy,” Kristina shared. Chris also added, “We just knew that it was God’s heart. For us to have a family, and we just knew it. We just keep praying and fight for it.”
Today, they have 3 amazing kids and they are now fulfilling the calling planted in their hearts as parents!
