Jubilee Year Testimonies:
Personal Experiences of God

I am Mrs. Jeanette D'Souza, happily married to Mr. Deepak D'Souza for the past 13 years. Our journey toward parenthood was filled with longing and unfulfilled hopes. We tried endlessly to conceive, but it never seemed to happen when we wanted it to.

​

​Last year, in May, during a trip to Shimla, I felt a bit dizzy. Assuming it was just tiredness from traveling, I brushed it off. After all, after 13 long years, we never thought a miracle could happen. Later, I experienced severe vomiting, and the doctor diagnosed it as food poisoning. I took the prescribed medicines and injections and thought nothing more of it.

An Unexpected Miracle

​

​That same month, I had some spotting and consulted my gynecologist. As usual, she suggested doing a pregnancy test at home. To my utter disbelief, the test came back positive! I was speechless and immediately sent a picture of the test kit to my doctor, who confirmed the result and asked me to meet her right away.

Joy in the family​

​

After further blood tests, we discovered I was already three months pregnant! Sharing this incredible news with my family brought overwhelming joy. My mother, in her deep faith, said she already knew God had blessed me. When we informed my in-laws, they were equally surprised and overjoyed.

​

I decided to leave my teaching job immediately, as my doctor advised against traveling or taking any risks. After so many years, I wanted to do everything I could to protect my miracle baby. My pregnancy went smoothly, and our baby was born healthy.​

A Journey of Faith​

​

God has truly been gracious to us. Just as He blessed Elizabeth in the Bible, He blessed me after 13 years of waiting. This journey taught me that nothing is impossible with God. He works in His own time and in His own wonderful ways. All we need is faith and patience.

     

​​​Our Miracle Baby

​

Today, our son, Darius Eric D'Souza, is a year old. We celebrated his first birthday on December 27th, and our hearts are filled with gratitude. I pray for all couples longing for a child, that God may bless their wombs as He blessed mine.

​

Thank you, Jesus. Praise you, Jesus.
