Antonette and Patrick know what it feels like to lead others in faith while quietly wondering if God has forgotten them.
As ministry leaders with Asia Pacific Media, they’ve trained digital missionaries, crafted stories of hope, and helped others believe in the God of miracles. But behind every sermon, every reel, every prayer they prayed aloud—there was a silent ache no one could see.
For eleven years, they longed for a baby.
Infertility treatments. Procedures. Tears in restaurants. Fights in the dark. The kind of heartbreak that makes you whisper things you’re not sure you’re allowed to say aloud:
“Maybe this isn’t His plan for us.”
“Maybe God forgot us.”
“Maybe hope is too heavy to hold anymore.”
But even in the waiting, they clung to the God they had preached about—the God who parts seas, who opens wombs, who writes stories no one sees coming.
Then came a whisper.
During worship, a church prayer warrior approached Antonette.“Nette,” she said, “The Lord told me He has a surprise for you and Patrick.”
The next morning, something felt different. A craving. A nudge. A small voice: Take a test.
Two pink lines. Tears. Laughter. Praise that shook the walls of their home.
After eleven years, their miracle had come—without medication, without treatment, without explanation—by grace alone.
And here’s the beautiful, breathtaking twist:
At the very moment they were sitting in counseling, grieving the ache of childlessness, Antonette was already pregnant… she just didn’t know it yet.
“God makes all things beautiful in His time,” she said, holding the daughter they named Zoe—life.
This isn’t just a story about infertility. It’s about the God who works in unseen places.The God who stays with you in the waiting. The God who is still good even when your hands are empty—and still faithful when they finally overflow.
Whatever you’re praying for… God hasn’t forgotten you. The miracle may already be growing where you cannot see it.
