Dear Friends, Family, and Loved Ones,
We just want to give you the latest updates on our baby, Elijah. At 4 months into the pregnancy the baby was diagnosed with a bone disease and we were told that he would not live once born specifically due to the ribs being too small to allow the lungs to expand.
Through these difficult months God has given us peace and joy that surpasses all understanding and can only be explained by Him.
Along with you, we’ve been seeking God for complete healing and so far we've seen God doing some awesome work in our baby.
We completed our last ultrasound and the specialist has seen improvement from the original diagnosis. His ribs now seem large enough to allow him to breathe, but there is still healing that we are praying for and believing it will happen. His legs and arms show possible fractures, some bones are slightly curved and are measuring very short.
We are asking and believing for healing because we believe God wants everyone to be healed. The enemy came “… only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). God hasn’t changed His mind or joined the enemy. Also, even though Jesus didn’t heal everyone in His time, He did heal everyone who came to Him.
We know sometimes God may heal gradually as in this passage:
They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. -- Mark 8:22-25
We believe He is NOT DONE healing our baby yet.
The doctors are not very hopeful overall. They are expecting disabilities and they also believe there is a chance Elijah won’t live.
We are going in for a c-section on June 14th. Please join us in prayer (and fasting if you feel lead to) for complete healing for our baby.
Our God is Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Even if you don’t follow Him or believe He exists please feel free to pray anyway. We believe He hears you.
Here is what we are asking for:
Thank you so much for your prayers.
With Love,
The Mansours

Here is what we are asking for:
- Complete healing of the bones
- Completely healthy baby—mentally, physically, emotionally,
- God would be glorified in this situation, and He alone will get the credit for the work that He is doing.
- Protection over our minds so that we won’t doubt or be shaken, and that we will continue to have peace and joy during this time
- Physical comfort for Jessica during this last week of pregnancy, as she has not been feeling well at all.
With Love,
The Mansours
