Nahomy – A Faith that Doesn’t Give Up

In Scripture, Nahomy’s story reminds us that faith is not always about seeing what lies ahead. Hebrews 11:1 says, “faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

Sometimes, faith looks like a seven-year-old girl waking up every morning with a smile, getting ready for school, and continuing to dream—even in the midst of extraordinary circumstances. This is Nahomy’s story. She is seven years old and one of our first-grade students at Jubilee.

Nahomy has faced serious medical challenges since she was six months old, when she contracted COVID-19. Since then, she has experienced complications affecting her lungs, heart, and immune system. At one point, doctors told her family that she might not live beyond age five. Today, Nahomy is seven, and we are thankful for every day the Lord gives her.

I am so thankful for Jubilee as they have been a community that has supported us financially and through prayer and love, ever since Nahomy began here two years ago.

Her journey has been anything but easy. Nahomy and her mother have also faced significant financial challenges since Nahomy’s father was murdered several years ago. Even so, they continue to make their way to school each day, sometimes walking more than a mile. Because of her health, this can be difficult for Nahomy, but she loves coming to Jubilee. School is one of her favorite places.

Nahomy is a dedicated student who works hard on her assignments and dreams of becoming a dentist. Last year, she spent three months in the hospital. Yet even during that difficult time, one of her biggest concerns was her homework.

That is Nahomy—a little girl who keeps learning, dreaming, and smiling.

Through their faith, Nahomy and her mother remain strong, trusting God’s grace through each new challenge. We may not always understand the circumstances the Lord allows, but we can see His faithfulness in the strength and hope that carry them forward.

Nahomy’s mom is deeply grateful for her teachers, Mrs. Kathya and Mrs. Nancy, who have done everything they can to accommodate Nahomy’s needs and help her succeed despite her absences and health challenges. “I am so thankful for Jubilee as they have been a community that has supported us financially and through prayer and love, ever since Nahomy began here two years ago.”

Please join us in praying for Nahomy and her mother, asking the Lord to sustain them, provide for their needs, and guide their steps. If you would like to sponsor Nahomy or another student in need, visit  https://jubilee.reachapp.co/
