Comments from debriefing

At Caroline's Promise we're all about helping people process their mission trip and ask the question, "What is God teaching me and how is this trip going to change my life?" We ask team members to list their favorite memories from the trip and then narrow them down to the top 4. Then we look to see if there is a theme to these events.

This is our first attempt to bring families on a mission trip. In a lot of ways it was an experiment. We had some doubts about how it would work - if at all. Tonight we were blessed to hear how God continues to work in the lives of team members - especially the children! Here are some comments:

* This trip taught me about having faith in God. Faith that He would provide the finances, faith for the trip, faith that He will take care of these kids.

* I learned that God answers prayers - we have to keep praying.

* I learned that I need to be thankful for what I have.

* I miss and love my family. I need to spend more time with my little sister:)

* God provides. For me and for these people.

* What I do makes a difference.

* The Body of Christ is beautiful. Everyone has a part.

* I saw how adoption can change a child's life.

* I saw the kids on this team love the Guatemalan children - without hesitation. They taught me.

* I want to be more involved in the lives of orphans. How does God want me to support them?

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany. I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences. First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school. I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life. It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person. The experience I had was totally great. I got to know places thanks to them and they also showed me their love through letters (letters that I still have), gifts and financial aid. I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally. And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...

Medical need for Rodrigo's Family

Mission team member's "idea" + Facebook Fundraiser = Jobs in San Nicolas

Our last team to Guatemala was in November of 2019. That seems impossible but it's true. The primary focus of the team was a pediatric medical clinic that was hugely successful. However, that wasn't the only seed that was planted that week in the community of San Nicolas. Wanda King has been going to Guatemala with Caroline's Promise for years. We can always count on her to bring hand sanitizer, goodie bags that she and her sister make for everyone, and lots of love! One of the things I love most about Wanda is that she is willing to step in and do anything that is asked of her. A few weeks before this trip she asked if she could bring a set of hair cutting supplies. I didn't know if there was a need, but I knew that Wanda felt strongly that she should bring them and so I said "of course!" Little did we know the impact that one idea would make. Wanda spent most of that week teaching our partner, Monica how to cut...
