Thank you, Wilson Community Church!


What can we say about Wilson Community Church?  Several years ago we connected with Tripp and Buffy Poole, who live in Wilson, NC, and adopted their son, Hunter, from Guatemala. They were eager to get involved with Caroline's Promise and give back to their son's birth country.

The first year, they took a team from their church, led by one of our board members, Tami Rumfelt. The second year, Tripp and Buffy led the team and Tami assisted them. This year they led their team of nineteen without a CP rep on site, and we are hearing great things about their team and all that was accomplished.


We want to thank their pastor, Gary Combs, for his vision for these teams and for his work this summer leading our first pastors' conference in Guatemala. And to Tripp and Buffy and their leadership team, thank you for your willingness to organize your church and minister so effectively.


Check out this wrap up video from their recent trip!

Where are they now? Sthefany

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...

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...
