April Baker, Dubai Women Ministry’s Leader, Miraculously Came Back Life after Her Heart Stopped for 4 Minutes
RD Baker – Lead Evangelist of Dubai and April’s husband – wrote on Facebook late night April 12th from the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles: An incredible ending to one of my most frightening days! Today at 12:50PM, my wife suffered a heart attack that stopped her heart and pulse for over four of the longest minutes of my life. It was so harrowing witnessing April leave her body. By His grace, God performed a miracle through the hospital staff and revived her. Tonight we sang songs and prayed over her as family members [both physical and spiritual] gathered!
Encouraged by the prayers and presence of the
LA Saints, April is all smiles just six hours
after her heart attack!
I’m so grateful for her mom Robin [a disciple in the East Region], who rushed to be by April’s side and comforted me in my distress and anguish; for Kip McKean who calmed me down and prayed with me; for her sisters Jennifer and Celina; for her doctors and nurses; for the many who came to see April like Michael Kirchner, Brian & Anna Ramirez, Joshua & Belinda Christensen, Princeton George, Carol & Tony Castillo, the Southland ICC Brothers with Ron Harding and many others who prayed for her around the world. We are so encouraged and proud to be part of this family! We love you family! (Praise God! April is out of the hospital and recovering! KM)
April’s mom Robin – a disciple in the East
Region – rushed to April’s side
immediately after her
heart attack!
In the ensuing days, so many came
to encourage RD & April!
Upon Kip & Elena’s arrival, Kip read to April
the always encouraging Psalm 23!
On Saturday, April 15th – just four days after her heart attack – April Baker Facebooked the following good news about Dubai: FAMILY!!!!!! Please help me celebrate the baptism of Michelle Ocampo – Mitz Ocampo-Torcelino’s sister! This DEEPLY encourages my HEART!!!! RD & I are beyond proud of the Dubai ICC!!! Even through this tough time of my dilemma preventing RD & me from returning to Dubai four days ago, they have kept their focus on making disciples and building family!!! God’s Kingdom cannot be shaken!!!! I am SO encouraged right now as in the last 12 weeks God has blessed my incredible Dubai Church Familia with 11 baptisms!
No longer in the hospital, April continues her
relatively speedy recovery with the
encouragement of her awesome
husband RD and friends
like the Causeys!
