Jaylin Marian, was a sixth-grader in 2024 at Jubilee, she’s a talented young girl who loves playing soccer and singing. But what makes her story even more remarkable is her journey of faith—a path she never imagined would change her life forever.
Jaylin first heard about the Lord at school. Jubilee became a place where the seeds of faith were planted in her heart. Soon after, her mother started attending church, reinforcing the message of hope and salvation in their home. Little by little, Jaylin began to feel that the Lord was watching over her and her family.
However, her faith would soon be tested by challenges that no child should have to face.
Jaylin lived with her family in her grandmother’s house, but due to unforeseen issues, they were forced to leave. They had nowhere to go, and although her father owned a small piece of land, they didn’t have the means to build a home. As a temporary solution, they rented a small wooden house. But when Hurricanes Eta and Iota hit, everything became even harder. The house wasn’t safe enough to shelter a family, and they were afraid for their lives.
But Jaylin and her family never gave up hope. She prayed earnestly, asking the Lord for provision, and soon, God answered their prayers. Little by little, they were able to gather materials to start building a new home. Even though they didn’t have much, their extended family came together to support them.
“I feel like it was a huge miracle because God did the miracle of giving us our own home,” Jaylin shares with a smile. But that wasn’t the only miracle. God was also working a transformation in her father’s heart. For years, her father struggled with alcohol addiction, something that held him back and deeply affected their family. But despite the storms, both literal and emotional, Jaylin’s father encountered Jesus and began to follow Him.
“He’s working day by day to become a man after God’s own heart,” Jaylin proudly says, her eyes reflecting the love she has for her father.
During our interview with Jaylin, something even more special happened—she accepted the Lord Jesus as her Savior. She poured out her heart to Him, and in that moment, the room was filled with a sense of joy that words can’t describe.
Her story is a testimony of how God can turn every hardship into a blessing. It is a reminder that no matter the obstacles, God is faithful to His promises. Jaylin’s faith, the miracle of her family’s home, and her father’s redemption are living proof that when we put our trust in God, He can move mountains.
