Lindsay Blake“Daddy, could you please buy me a real violin?” eleven-year-old Janeth asked.
Nicolas sighed. As assistant pastor of the Great Commission Baptist Church, the weight on his shoulders had been immense. After their entire community of believers was expelled from their indigenous village, they spent seven months living in a gymnasium before relocating to a cattle farm—starting from scratch to build homes for 46 families. Now, over 170 people were looking to Pastor Rogelio and Nicolas for guidance, provision, and hope.
Though God was faithfully providing through His people, the challenges were relentless—and Nicolas didn’t have a peso to spare.
Still, he had watched his daughter endure the trauma of displacement with quiet courage. Music, especially the violin—even borrowed or broken ones—had brought a sparkle back to her eyes.
So, he took a deep breath. “Honey, you know I don’t have any money. But let’s ask God to provide.” Together, they prayed.
A few weeks later, Janeth and her family visited Kikomar to rest for a few days.
While they were there, a staff member named Diana asked Janeth what she enjoyed doing most.
“Play the violin!” she replied immediately, her face lighting up.
Diana suddenly remembered a violin that had been donated just days earlier and was sitting quietly in the storeroom. In that moment, she knew it wasn’t just a donation—it was a gift from heaven meant for this beautiful girl.
When Diana brought it out, Janeth’s eyes sparkled. It was even her favorite color. After tuning it, she played “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
That day, everyone present witnessed a simple prayer exquisitely answered—a powerful reminder that we are fully seen by our Heavenly Father. Before we even speak, He knows the deepest longings of our hearts.
