一位母親現在已有兩個女兒，她向神禱告，給她一個兒子。她的禱告在22個月前得到了回應，她生下了一男嬰，她給兒子命名為金·布雷登(Brayden King)。然而，她的喜悅在周五蒙上了一層烏雲，布雷登在教會的洗禮池中溺水而死。
阿拉巴馬州迪凱特(Decatur, Alabama)的五旬節禱告之家(the Pentecostal House of Prayer)牧師斯特朗主教(Bishop TD Strong)告訴al.com說，小布雷登是“通過禱告得來的寶寶”，因為他的母親金敬(Kim King)禱告了很多年才有了他。
斯特朗說，“神在22個月前給了她一個兒子，22個月後將他帶走。我講道講了30年，牧養了20年，這次是我第一次在自己的事工中無話可說。”
據報道，周五布雷登與媽媽和13歲的姐姐在教會，媽媽在教會在準備主持使命禱告會。男孩的媽媽在禱告會期間需要插話連接各禱告題目，這位母親就讓13歲的女兒照顧弟這位女孩找不到自己的弟弟，搜索一番后，發現弟弟在矩形洗禮池裡沒有動靜。據al.com表示，雖然洗禮池面對會眾，卻被壇牆遮擋
斯特朗表示他跟家人的距離非常近，“我簡直手足無措，事件發生的地點離家那麼近。每天都有人死去，我主持過很多葬禮，但一個孩子在教堂的洗禮池裡死去非同一般，我永遠都忘不了這件事情。”
根據al.com報告後續表示，斯特朗周日試圖激勵他教會心情低沉的會眾。
他站在淹死小布雷登洗禮池僅幾尺距離出講道說，“你們要靠主常常喜樂，我再說一遍，常常喜樂！”
斯特朗在禮拜結束后說，“我不知道自己其實是想去那個洗禮池待會兒。”他解釋說他計劃在另一所教堂做洗禮禮拜， “我不知道需要多長時間才能得到醫治。”
斯特朗說，他們仍在努力回想拼湊事情發生的片段，但他並沒有透露家人的詳細信息。
斯特朗在佈道中表示，“我們經歷的很多事情都不會很順利，但是聖經上說，一切都是為了我們的益處。”
他說，“你帶着情緒解決不了問題，神不被情緒感動，而是因為關係感動。”

Tragic toddler: Brayden King, 22 months old, was found submerged in a tank of baptismal water in Alabama
A toddler died of accidental drowning after falling into in a tank of baptismal water in an Alabama church just two months shy of his second birthday.
Brayden King was under the supervision of his 13-year-old sister when he fell into the large rectangular font last Friday at the Pentecostal House of Prayer in Decatur, about 75 miles north of Birmingham, said Morgan County Coroner Jeffrey Chunn.
The little boy was found submerged in 33 inches of water and pronounced dead after unsuccessful attempts to revive him.
The child's mother, Kimberly King, who has two teenage daughters, had prayed to God for years for a son, the Huntsville Times newspaper quoted church pastor Bishop TD Strong as saying over the weekend.
‘Twenty-two months ago he gave her a son,’ Strong said, according to the newspaper. ‘And 22 months later he was taken away. I've been preaching 30 years and pastoring for 20 years, this is the first time in my ministry I've been speechless.’
Pastor Strong described the boy’s family as ‘devastated.’
The freak accident happened around 7.45pm Friday while Brayden was at the church with his older sister and mother.
Strong said Kimberly King was preparing for a skit to be performed at a prayer meeting, and the sister was tasked with keeping an eye on the toddler.

Parent's worst nightmare: Brayden's mother left him in the care of his 13-year-old sister while she attended a prayer meeting, but the teen lost track of her brother for a short time
The teen lost track of the toddler for a short time. Little Brayden somehow climbed up two flights of stairs and opened a set of doors to reach the font behind the altar still filled with water from a Sunday baptism, Decatur Daily reported.
When Mrs King realized her son was not with his sister, she went on a frantic search of the church building, which eventually led her to the baptism tank where her son was discovered unresponsive.
Church members and emergency crews who were called to the scene were unable to resuscitate the child.

‘I'm just at a loss, because it is so close to home,’ Strong said. ‘People die every day. And I've done many funerals, but for a child to die in church, in the baptistery, it's beyond ordinary and something that will never be forgotten by me.’
A funeral for the little boy will be held Thursday at Westside M.B. Church, after which he will be laid to rest in Rather Family Cemetery.
