This story touched our hearts and we wanted to share it with you. Written by Garrett Tenney, from FoxNews, this article was published on January 23. "At first, the Sterlings didn't believe the email that reached their Missouri home: Five Peruvian siblings were orphans and needed a mommy and daddy. It might’ve been scam. But the five hopeful children whose pictures were in the email weren’t asking for money, just making a plaintive plea that worked its way into the hearts of Scott and Lauren Sterling. When the couple checked into it, they learned the children's parents indeed had both died of tuberculosis. And although they were already busy with two kids -- Scott's 17-year-old daughter from a previous marriage and their 15-month-old girl -- one night. Lauren couldn’t fight the nagging feelings anymore. “Somebody’s got to do it, and why can’t it be us?” Lauren, 30, said to her husband. It was pretty much decided then that they were going...

I went on my first short term mission trip when I was in the 9th grade, I think. Maybe it was the 8th grade. I'm getting old. I was part of a state Life Corps team through the Wesleyan Church. I remember thinking that I'd never be able to raise the money to go. I can't remember the cost but I'm sure it wasn't more than a few hundred dollars. It seemed impossible to me . But I knew that God wanted me to go and I watched Him provide. That summer I spent a week with amazing people as we sang our way through the south and served at Hephzibah Children's Home in Macon, Georgia. Hmm......God must have looked down and thought, "Oh girl - you just have no idea what I have started in you." For several years I traveled with Life Corps teams. Sometimes they were musical teams, sometimes they were church planting teams. Each one gave me new opportunities to trust God and learn to lead. My first year of college I went to...

Why hello, my Caroline's Promise friends! My name is Natalie and I am the new intern for CP! I have not started working yet, but I am here to tell you a little about myself and what I will be doing with Caroline's Promise. You can look here for my blog posts that I will post every Thursday to keep you in the loop on how Caroline's Promise is progressing, and also the events that happened for the week. So to start off, I am senior at High Point University, with a human relations major and a minor in communications. I am very passionate about Caroline's Promise and their goals to help reclaim hope for orphans in third world countries. Specifically though, I am focused on Casita Adonai and the children in Guatemala. I traveled with Lisa, Barbra and Kendall this past October to Guatemala, where I was first introduced to the children, the school, and the visible need they both shared. I automatically fell in love with the children and their happy-go-lucky perso...
