Calvary Impact Girls make a difference in Guatemala

This summer a team of 25 people on our family team ministered to and loved on
the 150 children of Casita Adonai in Guatemala through an art camp, which culminated with
an art exhibition for the parents of the kids. Prior to the trip, the team collected the much needed supplies and money for the undertaking of this project. An art camp for 150 kids means suitcases full of brushes, paint, glue, paper, etc. 

But, as always, God had it all under control. We were so excited when Aimee Bray -
Director of Impact Girls at Calvary Church in Greensboro contacted us. 
A former team member had shared with her our need for art supplies for
art camp.

Aimee shared the need with the girls in her group and asked the girls to bring in whatever they wanted; she suggested a one dollar donation. Not only did she encourage the girls to give, but also told them she would match what they brought dollar for dollar. The next Wednesday these 35 young ladies brought in $95. Aimee matched it and added $10 to make it $200, providing for us the funds to purchase many of what we still needed after collecting supplies. God always supplies...always in His way, His timing, and always above what we expect. We were able to leave a generous amount of art supplies, to which they otherwise would not have access, for the teachers to use with their students this school year. 

The art camp was not only a fun, interactive thing between the team and the kids, but also brought in the parents and families. One of the goals of the church and school is to create unity and build relationships between the parents and staff...the art exhibition at the end of the art camp did just that! During the week of the art camp, the team didn't have as much time to do crafts with the kids as was originally intended; however, as the art work was displayed in the sanctuary of the church, we were all once again reminded that God always supplies...always in His way, His timing, and always above what we expect. The parents were filled with amazement as they saw the beautiful art work their children created. And the children were filled with amazement as they realized that they are beautiful works of art created by God.

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!
