Flexibility & Teamwork

Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Y sabemos que en todas las cosas interviene Dios para el bien de los que le aman, que han sido llamados según su designio).





The first week team was excited to arrive in Guatemala City on Saturday after experiencing air travel delays and change in initial plans. With a positive attitude, we worked to get all luggage and supplies in place and settle in to our rooms. We were welcomed by Pastor Carlos and his wife Delmi at the airport. We had a wonderful meal together and our first group meeting.








































On Saturday we had the privilege of working at Casita Adonai. Caroline’s Promise helps support this church school and the children who attend there. This ministry is in a hazardous region of Guatemala City where these orphans/vulnerable children receive an education, a meal and the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. (You too can partner with these efforts by sponsoring a child at Casita: http://carolinespromise4u.org/orphan-care/child-sponsorship/) The computer lab, hallways, upstairs classroom, new snack shop, and library all got a fresh look with some new paint and lots of elbow grease. We also sorted medical, vacation bible school and other supplies and prepared for an exciting week of ministry.





It has been such a blessing getting to know one another, the Guatemalans involved with Iglesia Adonai and the people they serve. We look forward to seeing how God uses our team to minister on behalf of Caroline’s Promise.

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.
