Supplies For The Guys

So many times Caroline's Promise has offered opportunities for you to partner with us in loving the children at Casita Adonai in tangible ways...we love it when God's children from all over the world partner together to care for one another. It feels great! We wanted to tell you about a new way for you to show that love to another great group of kids.

In March, when Lisa heads back to Guatemala, she'll be spending some time with a very special group of people: the teens at Iglesia Adonai! These teens are so awesome! They volunteer at the church in the youth ministry, caring and loving on the kids and becoming a positive influence and role model for them. The church is having a one day conference for the teens and Lisa will be speaking to them. While there, the church wanted to love on these teens in a special way, and we need your help! While we already have a small gift for the girls, we have an opportunity for you to help out with the guys! We are looking for toiletry items to put in a gift back for guys. Things like razors, soaps, shampoos would be great!

If you or your group would like to collect these items for the guys, please let us know! You can email Lisa at lisaholbrook@carolinespromise.net or if you are local, just drop your supplies off at her gazebo with a note that says these are supplies for the guys. We need to get all items in by March 5, so check your supplies and see if you don't have extra sets of disposable razors, shampoos or soaps that you could donate.

In addition we would love to provide a meal/lunch for them. If you would like to contribute to this project you can donate online. Choose Guatemala orphan projects and write "teen conference" in the comment box by clicking here.

Thanks in advance for partnering with us in this way!

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.
