October Sponsor and Vision Trip To Guatemala!

Join us October 16-21 as we celebrate the VERY FIRST graduation of 6th graders at Casita Adonai in Guatemala city! The Preparatoria Class will also graduate. This trip is a great opportunity for sponsors to meet the children they support and spend time with their families.

If you are a Pastor or Youth Pastor, interested in taking your folks on a short term trip in the future, this is a great opportunity to learn about the work in Guatemala and how you can make a difference.

If you want to learn more about our microeconomic projects and povery alleviation, this trip is for you!

Here are some fast facts for the trip:

Date: October 16-21, 2013

Application and $100 no refundable deposit due by August 15.

Trip is open to adults, 18 and over and families with children 10 and up.

Cost: $600+airfare. (We can arrange your airfare which as of today is $640 from Greensboro, NC. Or you can arrange your own airfare with approval from us regarding arrival/departure times. If you choose to come ONLY for the graduation, you can deduct $50 from each night that you are NOT in Guatemala City.) The $600 covers travel insurance, room, meals, and ministry expenses. The only other items you would need to budget for are souvenirs and one meal in the airport before and after arriving in Guatemala.

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:)

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...
