Caroline’s Promise South Carolina Welcomes New Director

In the Spring of 2010 we learned that our first Director of CP South Carolina, Martha Marie Smith and her family were moving to plant a church. We had no idea what God had in store for this chapter of the ministry. It’s not easy to find someone who is qualified and willing to take on this position on a volunteer basis. Martha Marie had done such a great job of getting the chapter started and building a support base. We were willing to close the chapter if that was what God wanted, but everyone involved hoped that wasn’t His plan.

After months of prayer and holding the ministry with an open hand, the Lord brought us Kelley Tegen. Kelley and her husband, Jason had supported CP South Carolina from the beginning and the timing was perfect for her to take on this role.

You can read Kelley's story of accepting this position at http://www.carolinespromise4u.org/about-us/who-we-are/
　
　

We are especially thankful to Martha Marie Smith and her husband, Eddie for their commitment to Caroline’s Promise South Carolina. The love that they poured into the development of this chapter is amazing. We will miss you guys and pray God’s blessings for your family and ministry.

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently. And we benefited from knowing Cesy! For years she would translate for our special programs. I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me. She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women. One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD. Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you! Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!

Leaving for Guatemala in less than 8 hours!

Everyone is in a mad dash to get their carryons packed and catch some sleep before we depart at 3am! You read that right, 3 am! It's going to be a long travel day. We'll depart Colfax at 3am, drive to Raleigh, fly to Miami at 6:50am and arrive in Guatemala at 1 in the afternoon. After we collect ALL of our luggage (because you guys have prayed that it all arrives:) we'll load a bus and drive 3-4 hours to Eagle's Nest Children's Home. We appreciate your prayers as the first of 50 people go to Guatemala. Our second week begins July 5th. Specific requests for this first BIG team are unity, good health, safety, and that God blesses our time with kids in churches, schools, the community and at Eagle's Nest. Check out their blog at http://www.boggsministry.com/ We hope to update you daily but we're not quite sure how the internet access will be. Thanks for your prayers:)

$40 can send a teen to camp

Words can't express how proud we are of the youth from Adonai Church in Guatemala City. They have worked hard to develop a discipleship and outreach program that is amazing! In addition, they have been raising funds to attend their high school aged camp November 25-27. They began months ago by creating banks and teaching on the importance of saving. From there they hosted a ton of fundraisers and have been able to raise the funds for their youth group to attend camp. Now they need our help! They would love for 25 of the older teens from their Gerona church plant to attend camp as well. The cost is $40 per teen and we're looking for a total of $1000. If you would like to partner with the Adonai Youth and support a teen from Gerona, please follow this link. Thank you for helping us celebrate the Adonai Youth and their hard work, while making a way for the teens in Gerona to attend camp.
