Camp Team Update


After arriving on Sunday, our team was able to drive to Gerona and get things ready for our camp. This week, we were able to serve the community and church by accepting almost 70 campers. We were able to play sports, complete crafts, worship, and swim with these children. It was awesome to partner with Iglesia Adonai and minister to these children. Below is one account of one of the many touching moments that happened at camp this week.

“Being my fifth time in Guatemala, I thought I had learned about all there was to know about the people and the country. I quickly learned that this was not true. It hit me as I circled my room Monday night to try and keep the giggly girls quiet and go to sleep. As I walked by one of the girl’s beds, she told me that she had pain in her heart. In my broken Spanish, I asked her what was going on. She proceeded to tell me that her heart was hurting for certain people she had seen and met that day within the camp, and she wanted me to pray with her. She told me about a new friend she had made, and her mom had died during childbirth earlier this week. We prayed for this girl and asked that God would provide for her family. She also asked to pray for the team and named specific people that she had seen earlier that day. I was able to stop and realize the powerful work God was doing in this young girl’s life. Not only was I able to share this experience with her, I was able to speak truth into her life and empower her to continue the good work ahead of her.


The girl I am writing about above has been a part of Iglesia Adonai each year I have been in Guatemala. It has been an incredible experience watching her grow throughout the years. When Caroline’s Promise first started working directly with Iglesia Adonai, I was privileged to be on the forefront of the work and movement that was happening. Now, I am so blessed to see the fruit of our prayers, time, and hard work pouring into the lives of these children. I can’t wait to see the next generation rise up in Iglesia Adonai.”

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!
