Robstown High School baseball coach Elias Vasquez contracted
COVID-19, leaving him in a coma for 29 days. He had to rely on a
Tracheotomy and ventilator to live. According to the report, only two
percent survive with conditions like his case. That’s why after
making it from the life-threatening scenario, he credited God for
carrying him through.
“I am a walking miracle,” Elias attested to KRIS-TV in an interview. “I
was in a coma for 29 days and that was pretty scary. But God is
great and does miracles all the time. I thank God every day for
giving me a second chance and saving my life. It was nothing short
of a miracle.” He also thanked those who prayed for him during his
battle with the virus. He stressed how “those prayers helped save
my life.”
Further, Elias revealed how he asked his father, a pastor, to recite
John 3:16 before he slipped into a coma. The verse declared, “For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” He
requested it because he wanted to confess this truth before facing
the harrowing ordeal.
Now, his life has become a testimony, and he’s excited to be back
coaching at school after missing the last season. Elias also described
how his near-death experience entirely changed his perspective on
life.
Elias is indeed a walking miracle of God’s goodness and powerful
healing. Hearing his story is truly encouraging, reminding each one
of us that nothing is impossible with Him. Miracles happen every
day.
Such a powerful recovery story! God is good!
