Camp Team Trip to Panajachel

Family and Friends,

After spending Monday and Tuesday completing work projects at Casita Adonai, we traveled to Panajachel at Lake Atitlan on Wednesday morning to partner in ministry with the sixth graders for their senior trip. We enjoyed a boat ride across the lake to watch them complete their service project, assisted by the men of Wendover Hills Wesleyan. The students were eager to help and educate others with the information they had received. It was an incredible experience to watch our students empower others from another community in their home country.

After spending the rest of our day swimming and playing games, we woke up Thursday for our kayaking and cliff diving adventure. The kids and team enjoyed the experience, jumping from the cliffs and swimming in the lake! Thursday night, the boys were able to spend some time talking about respect and relationships with their parents, while the girls focused on healing and finding God’s truth in their lives. We were grateful for God’s presence with us and pray that Jesus will continue to confirm the truth spoken in each of the hearts of the children and team members.


As we arrive at the Rivas house tonight, we plan to rest, pack, and reflect on this experience in preparation to return home tomorrow. Please continue to pray for us as we process our trip, encourage one another, and return to the United States! Look out for our next blog post, which includes a brief summary of what God has taught us during this past week.

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!
