Eliahna Garcia, one of the nineteen children killed by a teenager at Robb Elementary School, Texas in May 2022, would pray every night out loud and shared the Gospel on social media before she died.

Ellie, a 9 year old victim of the mass shooting at the school in Uvalde, had posted a TikTok video, saying:

“Hey, guys. I just wanted to give you a little catch-up. Jesus. He died for us. So when we die, we’ll be up there with Him. In my room, I have three pictures of Him.”

Her father, Steven Garcia, shared how his daughter loved to pray and posted a photo that he took in January of his young daughter laying on her bed with her hands folded in prayer.

“Caught my Ellie Gee in the middle of her talk with our Almighty... I love you baby girl and I love the way you pray,” he wrote at the time.

“She prayed every night out loud so we could pray with her,” Garcia added. “I remember this day. We had just bought a lamp and she wanted to sleep with it on so she aired up her air mattress, gave us a hug and kiss and went to pray as mum made treats in the kitchen! These memories are all I have left.”
