I have met many families who have lost a child. However, the majority of the bereaved members are the mothers. Rarely, do I have the chance to meet a father who is so open, honest and raw with his feelings concerning the loss of a baby.
I have recently met a young man named Oscar Correia . Oscar is from Spain and has been gracious in sharing his story. Through translation, some words might be different than what you may be accustomed to reading, but I felt if I changed anything, even one letter, it would contaminate the emotion that Oscar has written.
I pray you will be blessed as you read the horror that Oscar endured, his healing, and where God has brought him to. He is a true inspiration.
In his own words...Oscar's story:
My name is Oscar Correia and I live in Brazil, 5 years ago my wife was pregnant, my third child, your name would be Arthur Kalani, but had a problem, he born with seven month of pregnancy, it was hospitalized for 8 months, born with short bowel problem, was a great surprise for everyone, but prayed every day for he
leave the hospital.
Every day my wife was beside he, and I could not visit every day because of the my work, In this time and before, I always was a Christian evangelical, play my saxophone in the church, attended worship services during the week and weekend, a good person, but was a tree that do not bore fruit and no was a true soldier
of Christ, do not spread the good news to the peoples.
Oscar's Son, Arthur Kalani I have recently met a young man named Oscar Correia . Oscar is from Spain and has been gracious in sharing his story.

I was very concerned about the situation of my son in the hospital, was a great suffering and distress for eight months, prayed every day, every time for my sun out of that nightmare, but I see that he was a warrior, always had a new bacteria wanting knocks him and all the surgeries, a great and
strong child. He had improved considerably, we were all happy, he was out of
hospital, good news, all in ICU Neonatal was happy too. We were all preparing the room for your arrival, painted the walls, put a chair and
clothes.
But he took a new infection, no was new, but she had a mutation, as the Arthur problem was a almost rare disease, the chief surgeon would not do procedures, left in the hands of his son, just to gain fame and leaving the beautiful result in some magazine of his successful work, so received a call at 11:00 pm at night
for my wife and I attend in the Hospital urgently, the notice was horrible, he was dead, my beautiful son was
dead. My world fell, could not believe, my wife was bad, very bad.
Even after burying my son, my wife along time did not improve, I was devastated and cried a lot, some time ago, one day, the Lord speak in my heart, in a very strong, for create a Task Force and work or Him, so
through the death of my son and reading books of Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, in August / 2010 create this Task Force, the Lord spoke in my heart all that I needed to do.
Today the work that I do are; write messages, articles and to do interview with peoples of many countries, a other work also is write letters for Christian prisoners (countries as Uzbekistan, Republic of Iran) and for Christian persecuted. I send bibles also for three countries Brazil, Pakistan and India, one other work is pray at dawn for peoples are on facebook and asks for prayer. I´m write books also, my first book will be
published in a few months in USA.
All this works are helping many peoples in many countries, I received letters of people in countries as
German, Pakistan, India, USA, Brazil, etc for talk about the effects of the messages, women who would be separated from her husband but gave up or someone who wanted to commit suicide and desisted of the idea and others history of bless.
After it started all those works for the Lord, I was betrayed, called narrow-minded, fanatic, disrespected and others things. But the Lord speak with me in Joshua 1.9, and always spoke in my heart, "Oscar, I´m in
your side, continue" and many miracles happened, many histories. This first book was a miracle and I dedicated to my dead son.
I want to leave a message for all who are reading this story, never, never abandon or replace God for anything, He always is in your side. Serving the Lord is the noblest honor that anyone can have and deserve, but there is a great responsibility when we walk the path to eternal life. When we are united in one purpose, join forces and pray we're invincible to our enemy that tries to deceive us with all that exists in the world, even things that lead us to death and lack of character. You is a soldier of Christ, strength and honor.
