HUGE PRAISE!!!



Two years ago on our first trip to Eagle's Nest we met Kenia. All we really knew about her was that she was blind. Our friend, Angie who was with us fell in love with Kenia and spent most of her time with her. But then Angie moved to Guyana to run the children's home there. So the 2nd year Kendall had to take Angie's place. And he fell in love with this precious little girl.


One day while one team cleaned the home, the other team helped care for the children. Kendall was so touched and bothered by Kenia's situation. Stephanie, one of our team members really ministered to him in that moment and explained that perhaps God had put Kendall in Kenia's life to pray for her. Stephanie reminded him that God knew Kenia by name and that He would answer Kendall's prayers. Last summer we learned that Kenia has other special needs besides being blind, but we continued to pray for God to bring her a family!

This year was our third trip to Eagle's Nest and when we entered the home Kendall found Kenia right away. We hardly recognized her. She looked much healthier and was sitting in a little seat. She looked so cute with pigtails in her hair. It's been a difficult week for Kendall, knowing that Kenia was never matched with a family and now adoptions in Guatemala are closing. How do you explain that to a kid?

This week as I was emailing with the Director of Eagle's Nest who is in the States for a few months I learned that there is a family that wants to adopt Kenia! They have other special needs children and believe that God wants Kenia to be a part of their family!! I also learned that the attorney for Eagle's Nest believes that although adoptions have closed, the government may approve Kenia's adoption! Please pray with us that God will remove every obstacle that keeps Kenia from going home to her forever family. Pray for the family as well, that God will provide all that they need to complete her adoption!

God truly is a Father to the Fatherless! He makes a home for the lonely!

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, such as Carolina's Pro

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 hair.  We quickly realized that
