What we have learned...


It has been a great week here in Guatemala City. Last night, our team had our last debriefing session in which we shared what God has done in our lives. Here are all the responses our team gave:

God taught me…

“that He gave me my values and gifts for a reason, and I am to use them for His glory.”
“I can be a kid and an adult at the same time.”
“how much I like to build, work with people, and that I enjoy teaching/connecting people with themselves, others, and with God.”
“that when we allow Him to break down walls and invade our hearts, He will free us and reveal himself in mighty ways.”
“that I have been selfish in my lifestyle.”
“that His plans for me are greater than the plans I have for myself.”
“not everyone is going to leave; let God use me.”
“my past doesn’t dictate my future; I don’t have to listen to the lies Satan tells me.”
“to take the time to stop what I’m doing and enjoy what He is doing for me.”
“that I need to spend more time listening to the instruction He gives me every day.”
“that the sacrifice that goes into these experiences are worthwhile.”
“to not be afraid and put myself out there.”
“that investing in people is worthwhile, and I need to take the time to do that.”

We could not have completed this trip without all the prayers and thoughts from our supporters. We are so grateful for all of you, and we can not wait to come home and share with you. Dios te bendiga!

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
