Caroline's Promise News

One of our summer mission teams will help start a sewing ministry with the Moms at Casita Adonai in Guatemala City.  Their first project will be to make an adorable pillow case dress!  Our hope is that God will use this ministry to encourage these women, open their hearts to Him, and help them learn a skill they can use to provide for their family.  The end result will be Mamas keeping their children instead of abandoning them! If you would like to contribute to this project you can donate new pillow cases in solid or cute patterns or make a donation.  Our deadline is June 1.  To contribute financially choose Guatemala Orphan Projects and put sewing in the comment box. 

 Shady Grove Wesleyan Preschool in Colfax decided to have a trike-a-thon. The money raised would go towards a sewing machine ministry that will begin this summer. Mothers, whose children attend Casita Adonai, will have the opportunity to receive training on how to sew, using a sewing machine. After their successful completion of this training, they can receive a small loan to purchase a sewing machine of their own. What a blessing for these moms to be able to work from home, providing for their families, and care for their children. Shady Grove Preschool raised $1200 in the trike-a-thon! Not only did the preschool children have a ton of fun, the $1200 will purchase several new sewing machines that can be used to start this new ministry. What a great idea! Thanks Shady Grove Preschool!

Caroline's Promise has the honor of hosting a camp for 50 of our kids that attend Casita Adonai in Guatemala city.  One of our summer mission teams will partner with the young adult leaders at our partner church to offer this experience of a lifetime!  Most of these kids don't get the opportunity to leave their community.  We believe that when they get out of their difficult surroundings for a few days they will be able to truly be kids!  We have lots of sports, art, dance, human video, and self defense classes to keep them busy.  But most importantly they will hear how Jesus loves and has a special purpose for them.  Camp for each child is $50.  Will you help us make this camp possible?  Your tax deductible gift of any amount is greatly appreciated!  Donate online and choose one time gift and the fund "Guatemala Orphan Projects".  Please put the word "camp" in the comment box.  Thank you for investing in these kids!
