Camp Team Mid-Week Recap


A recap of our trip so far…

After arriving on Sunday, we were all very excited to welcome to kids to camp on Monday morning. It was awesome to see and build relationships with the kids from Gerona who came to camp.  We all served as counselors and partnered with Iglesia Adonai, who planned and implemented the services.

After saying goodbye to the kids on Tuesday, we were able to welcome a group of about thirty teens. During this time, we played games, performed skits, and read scripture with them. They were also able to take home bags of hygiene and health supplies.

On Wednesday, we were able to participate in a program that the students of Casita Adonai created. We got our first glimpse of the students we will be taking to Panajachel this Thursday morning! Afterwards, we were able to help with construction needs in order to lay the foundation for the new building.

We are excited to travel to Panajachel today and build relationships with the sixth graders at Casita Adonai. We will be building relationships with them and giving a devotional in order to prepare them for transitioning in the fall. Please pray for us as we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us.

Here are a couple quotes from team members who wanted to share their favorite part of the week so far.

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!

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...
