Tuesday in Guatemala

Praise the Lord for better internet access! We appreciate your prayers and feel them. Don't stop!
We've had a little sickness. Casey had stomach issues Monday but was great by this morning. Jennifer Glover has struggled with stomach and aches. Katy has had stomach stuff and is weak but is feeling much better. Lisa is getting a cold. So - we'd appreciate your prayers that it will stop and noone else will feel bad.
On Monday afternoon we ministered to 150 kids who are sponsored by Compassion International. It was a precious time. They presented music and drama to us which was powerful and we did the Children of the King skit and a carnival. What fun! We ran out of prizes at some of the games, but Garrett had extra gifts in his bag that were perfect! Thank you Jamie for sending those with him. It was like you were here with us!
Today, Tuesday, we drove about 30 minutes on a really rough road to the prettiest little town called San Jose Chacaya. It was incredibly clean and quiet and the kids were so well behaved. We saw groups of kids all day long - about 500 or so in total. The skit, socceer clinic and some frisbee time. And each kid received a school supply bag. The teachers each received a big bag of supplies and we were able to deliver Bibles to the classes, the Mayor, and the police department. Very cool!
Tomorrow we'll be cleaning the children's home and painting. There's a lot to do and the team is tired. We'd appreciate your prayers for unity and energy and that God will continue to speak to our hearts. More pics to come later tonight!

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
