A full day of ministry for the Family Team - Sunday

Our team attended Iglesia Adonai in the morning where we assisted in the children's ministry and worshiped with our new friends.  Leslie ministered through song in perfect Spanish and Kristi and Cameron Baker shared their testimonies.




After lunch we endured a long drive (due to traffic) to the community of Gerona where our partner church, Iglesia Adonai is planting a church.  100 kids showed up for the lesson and music, led by youth from the church.  Afterward our team brought out the balls and toys and spent time loving on these kids.  It's exciting to see this ministry grow.  Several of the kids wanted to recite the Bible verses they had memorized.  We had originally thought that their "ticket" to camp would be scripture memorization but evidently the church has decided to let anyone who wants to, come next week.  This blessed us so much that camp will be a "gift" instead of something they have to earn.
Thank you to everyone who has supported sponsorship of kids for camp this year.  It's going to be great!

For many of our team members, this visit to Gerona was their first.  Here are a few comments and observations from them:

"I liked helping with the kids."  Katie D.
 "I enjoyed seeing the difference between the kids at Casita and the kids in Gerona."  Rachel
"I liked that even though there was a language barrier we could still bond over a sport"  Cameron B.
"Even though the kids had so little they still had a reason to worship"  Anna
"I liked that the kids came on their own and were sharing their faith."  Erica
"We enjoyed connecting with the children over sports."  Daniel & John
"I liked watching the kids dance and have fun,"  Evan
"I liked how they didn't know what they were doing with the balls they were just having fun"  Riley
"Watching the youth from Iglesia Adonai take the lead on delivering

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, s...

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!
