For Such a Time as This — The Birth of Eliana Shalom

In this deeply personal episode, Maria shares the incredible story of how a ruptured appendix, emergency surgery, seven days of nonstop contractions, and an unexpected early delivery all became part of a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness. During the week of Purim, baby Eliana Shalom was born at 29 weeks at St. Mary’s Hospital—exactly 70 days early, mirroring a beautiful part of Maria’s own story before birth. Through every contraction, prayer, and moment of uncertainty, God gave supernatural peace, protection, and deliverance. This is a story of faith in the middle of crisis, the miracle of life, and the goodness of God through it all.Send us Fan MailSupport the showThis is SPARK—where faith meets action.
