A mother in Decatur, Ala., says her prayers were answered when, after years of trying, she had a baby boy nearly two years ago. But tragedy struck when Brayden King was left in the care of his teen sister at church on Friday: She lost track of him for a short while, and he was found dead in 33 inches of water in the church's baptismal tank, reports Reuters. Brayden was 22 months old.

Brayden King, who drowned in a church baptistery Friday, was a "prayer baby," whose mother had prayed and tried for years to have a son, the family's pastor said today.
Bishop TD Strong, pastor of the Pentecostal House of Prayer in Decatur, recalls praying with the boy's mother year after year, as she implored God for a son.
"Twenty-two months ago he gave her a son," Strong said. "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."
