Buena Vista Adventist Elementary School in Auburn has firsthand experience in God’s promise to provide a solution “even before we ask.”
The school recently received an urgent request for tuition assistance from a fund that is already allocated and exhausted for this school year.
Three staff members — Ron Trautwein, principal; Donna Ellis, administrative assistant; and Tom Johnson, maintenance director — prayed about the request and felt God impressing them to send out a tuition assistance request to the school family.
The father of the family in need had a meeting scheduled the following day with the school bookkeeper,Tahia Good.
“Before our meeting I was strongly impressed by the Holy Spirit to ask him to pray,” recalls Good. “I knew the situation looked bleak, but somehow I knew these kids needed to be at this school.”
While the meeting was underway, another parent came into the school office with a sizable donation of cash in response to the tuition request. Ellis excitedly interrupted the financial aid meeting with the good news.
“I was shaking as I realized how God had provided what was needed at the perfect time,” Ellis recounts.
The miracle did not stop there. Within a few days, another person donated the remainder of what the family needed.
