Yard Sale This Saturday For Casita!

Wilson Community Church sent a team of 10 people to Guatemala June 21-29th for the 2nd year in a row. The team partnered with Caroline's Promise out of Kernersville, NC founded by Lisa and David Holbrook. While in Guatemala they worked at a school in the worse part of the city. 

Casita Adonia provides a Christian education to 125 children in grades pre-k through 6th. The school is over crowded and has no room to add additional classes.  Also, the current school is in rough condition (half the building is missing a roof and the other half has leak holes; water and power isn't safe; there is only a small room for the children to play, as it isn't safe for them to be outside for Physical Education). So Caroline's Promise has been working for the last year to raise $100,000 to build a new school for the children to attend. Currently, they have raised half of what is needed.

"These children captured the hearts of many on our team, so we want to help them continue their education." said Buffy Poole-team leader.  WCC's Guatemala missions is taking the step this Saturday to help raise the remaining funds.There will be a Yard Sale starting at 7am in the parking lot of Wilson Community Church. 100% of the proceeds will go toward the missions for Casita Adonia. Please come out and support this great cause. If you would like to make a donation you may mail them to Caroline's Promise 1950 Beeson Rd. Kernersville, NC  attn: building fund.

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
