Wrap up from CP Team 1 and Calvary Church Team

Our first team finished up their week of ministry with an evangelistic program for the students at Casita Adonai.  Led by the Calvary Church team, they shared Jesus through games and lessons.  The result?  Approximately 30 kids asked Jesus into their hearts!

The team spent their final afternoon continuing the construction projects that they started and then spent some sweet time in prayer for the construction project, church, and school.

I (Lisa) loved joining this team halfway through and watching them at work.  The CP team was led by board member, Tami Rumfelt who is a pro at leading teams.  She had a smaller team this year (6 people) but what they lacked in numbers, they made up for in heart and hard work.  Small teams can be different than larger ones in that it's often easier to bond a deeper level.  This obviously happened with this team and it was a beautiful thing to see.  It reminded me of teams I have been on in the past, even before Caroline's Promise.  Those people are my friends to this day and I pray that the closeness of this CP team will grow as they continue to make a difference in the world.  Thank you Tami and your team for working so hard and giving so much of yourself!  You are in our prayers as you reenter your everyday life this week.

It was a blessing for me to watch a team from my home church minister to the people that I love so much!  Calvary Church of Greensboro, NC brought a team of 13 and spent their first 4 days with us in Guatemala City.  Their teacher team (including one from the CP team) loved on our teachers and
really made them feel special.  They also assisted with work projects and led ministry events where Jesus was shared and felt in a real way.  This team continued on to Antigua where they are partnering with a Christian School there.  Thank you Calvary Church for coming and doing what you do!

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, such as Carolina's Pro

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
