God Showed Up!
I saw God move in the life of one of our kids at Eugene Field. I learned that nothing is impossible for Him! I currently volunteer at Eugene Fields in Spark Bible Kids Club after school.
Last spring, one of our students shared with us—week after week—that her mom was in jail. She didn’t say why, but her consistency and sadness stayed with me. When school let out, I felt a strong nudge from the Lord to check in on her. I figured a little extra love and attention might go a long way.
I found out she and her younger sister were staying with their uncle. As we spent time together, her uncle opened up and shared the full story: their mom had been detained by immigration and was being held in a Texas prison. She had a lawyer and a court date on the horizon. He also said that letters to the judge could make a difference.
So, one of our team members and I wrote letters, while the rest of our Bible club team began praying… fervently. We waited and hoped. Her first court date came… and was delayed. The lawyer needed more time. To be honest, at that point, I started to fear the worst.
Then—just two weeks later—her case came up again. And guess what? GOD SHOWED UP in a powerful way! Her mom was released and reunited with her daughters in Tulsa. It was a miracle.
The last time I checked in, her uncle said the whole family is doing well.
This experience reminded me again: when we pray, care, and show up—even in small ways—God does what only He can do. What a gift it is to be part of what He’s doing in these kids' lives.
