“We have spent our lives to serve and follow God, we’ve
been through so many challenges; but this is a real test for
us, to completely trust Him. We speak healing over our son,
knowing that God has the power to do the impossible. If
my son is born normally, we praise Him. If our son is not as
normal, we also praise Him and accept Christopher to our
lives. We choose to accept everything God brings to us. He
surely has a plan.”
On July 3, 2017, Christopher made his way into this world,
a happy, healthy and whole baby boy. Daniel writes, “Meet
my precious Christopher Quy’ Thien. Today we witnessed a
miracle, today we have seen God’s love, mercy and power.
What a mighty God we serve!”
A full-scale assault on her body has happened.”
Jannelle suffered from a rare and severe form of pre-
eclampsia. After Eden’s birth she was rushed to another
hospital as a life saving measure. Daniel continues, “Yes-
terday, I was praying for my wife in her current condi-
tion. As I prayed, I envisioned God taking this situation
from the enemy, and using this evil attack against Jan-
nelle, to usher in something new that will impact San An-
tonio, Grace Avenue Church, (where Daniel and Jannelle
pastor) and people all around the world. It would stir a
hunger in people to know the God we serve, the God of
miracles. Later at 1 a.m., as I laid down to sleep, I felt
the Holy Spirit say to initiate „Prayer from every nation.“
I won‘t dissect that, I‘ll simply be obedient. My goal,
in this very moment of her
life, seemingly hanging in
the balance, is to initiate
prayer happening in every
nation around the world
for miracles in Jannelle‘s
life and body.”
“He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord”
-Psalm 112:7
Meanwhile, halfway across the world, in San Antonio, Tex-
as, another Daniel and his wife Jannelle, were expecting a
baby girl. Her name would be Eden Raine Villarreal. The
Villarreal’s have one daughter, Vivian. Last year brought a
devastating blow when their son was still born.
Daniel writes, “At the beginning of 2017, after dealing with
the still birth of our son Jude at 21 weeks, my wife, Jannelle,
began 2017 with a BOLD word in her spirit. She said, ‘This
is going to be a year of miracles.’ It was a word we em-
braced as a family. Shortly after that, we moved into a new
house, and the only decorating request she had for me, was
to hang a metal sign over our fireplace, engraved with the
words, ‘There will be miracles’.”
Shortly after that, we found out we were pregnant again.
Eden Raine is a miracle, (Born July 10th, at 31 weeks.) and
now my wife lies sedated in need of multiple miracles herself.
Her kidneys and liver not functioning, needing a breathing
mask, sedated, batting blood infection among other things.
Through various forms of
media Daniel’s plea went global. The worldwide response
in prayer was overwhelming. In Vietnam Daniel Thai got
the report and committed to pray. In a TV news interview
Daniel shares his faith. “I’ve seen the miraculous happen
in other peoples lives. I know what God can do, I know
what’s possible. And I also know there’s amazing doctors
out there and amazing nurses doing their due diligence
to make things happen.” After Eden’s birth, both she and
Janelle were at risk of dying. Daniel continues, “So I cried
out to God and I remember telling God, ‘Whatever hap-
pens, I trust you.’”
While things initially got worse, little by little there was im-
provement. Jannelle is a miracle in the making. One month
after Eden Raine’s birth, mommy and daughter were reunit-
ed as Janelle was strong enough to be transferred. Daniel
explains, “Even when it seems hopeless, there’s still hope.
Even when it seems like there is no possibility of things turn-
ing around, with God everything is possible.”
