God finally answered their prayers in May 2024, when the woman conceived at the age of 56.
The journey had not been easy, with age-related complications and personal struggles, but she persevered, drawing strength from her faith.

In her words:
"We got married in 1994 July precisely. Since then we've been believing God for the fruit of the womb. It has been a challenging time but God manifested himself after all we've been through. Some treatments, two failed IVFs. We've been passing through prayers with the general overseer and he has been very supportive and prayerful, prayerfully guiding us. So as God will have it, in May 2024 I conceived.
"The journey was a bit challenging because of age but I was able to sail through. That time I was 56. So by the time the baby came in January 2025 I was close to 57, praise the Lord. The journey had been that of pain, cry and eh joy at times. Anytime I saw people testify I asked God when will I testify. You have not called me to shame, you have not called me to shame and God did it. There was a time I had an attack on my leg and I told God I will still need this leg to carry pregnancy, oh you just have to help me and God helped me. So in January 2025 the Lord will put to birth a base bouncing baby boy to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil, praise the Lord, hallelujah."
