Business Training = Changed Lives

For the past several years Caroline's Promise has partnered with Iglesia Adonai to host sewing classes for women in the community.  We call the program "Threads of Promise" because of the opportunities it provides.  Through the three month discipleship and skills training classes the women experience community and begin to understand just how much God adores them.  They sell the product that they make and we match their earnings.  At graduation they receive a new sewing machine and a women's devotional Bible.

From the beginning our dream was to offer  business training for these women but we could never find the right curriculum.  Last year the Lord led us to Yobel International, a Colorado based ministry that empowers communities to eliminate extreme poverty, unjust labor and human trafficking through business training and consumer education.  Yobel has developed an interactive, discussion-based Entrepreneurial Training Curriculum and we are excited for the opportunity to purchase a license and train our friends in Guatemala.

Our plans are to conduct our first training in the Spring of  2016.  The cost for each woman to attend the training is $250.  We are looking for 35 sponsors or a total of $8750 make this training a reality.  Will you consider joining us?  Any donation is greatly appreciated!  Follow this link to join us!

If you would like to join us on this team please touch base with us as soon as possible!  We are looking for a small team of men and women who are comfortable leading a small group in this business training setting.  We will train you on the curriculum!  Dates of this will be determined soon but we are looking at February or March.  Cost is $1000 plus airfare.  Contact LisaHolbrook@carolinespromise.net or at 336-669-7340.

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
