Diego Medina is an 11-year-old boy in the fourth grade, and this is his first year at Jubilee, along with his younger brother. From the very first day, Diego has shown that he is an outgoing and well-behaved child, quickly earning the affection of his classmates and teachers.

He is very grateful with his teacher, Ms. Keyla, whom he describes as “very caring and responsible.” Diego says, “Ms. Keyla teaches us well and doesn’t let the kids misbehave or say bad words.” It’s clear that Diego feels safe and valued in his class.

 

Diego is also very close to his family. He lives with his parents and siblings, and his grandmother and uncles live nearby, so he enjoys being surrounded by family. He is the second of four siblings, and even though two of them are his half-brothers, they have a close relationship. He shares a grade with his younger brother, which strengthens their bond. Diego also loves the pasta that his grandmother makes—it’s his favorite meal.

 

 

Diego’s story is a true testimony of faith and miracles. When he was just two years old, he had an accident that could have been fatal. While he was with his mother on the second floor of a building, he got too close to the railing, and because the bars were spaced too far apart, he fell through them. The fall caused a serious injury to the center of his head, fracturing his skull and requiring more than 20 stitches. But God’s care was evident, as Diego survived this accident, becoming a living miracle.

 

 

As Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” This verse reflects the divine protection that Diego experienced in that critical moment.

 

Besides his love for faith, Diego enjoys academic challenges, with math being his favorite subject because he likes the challenges it offers. He has also started learning to play the flute in the school’s music program, showing his interest in exploring new skills and talents. As Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Even though Diego didn’t grow up in a Christian home, the teachings he’s received at Jubilee have guided him towards a life of faith and preaching.

 

 

Diego Medina is a living example of how faith can transform lives, even at a young age. His love for God, his family, and his school makes him a special child and an inspiration to everyone who knows him.
