Building of Promise Fundraiser for Lisa's Birthday!

In 2013, God gave me a vision for a 3 story building at our partner church, Iglesia Adonai.  At the time, they had a one story structure that they shared with their school, Casita Adonai.  The roof was leaking and we assumed that we would just help them put a new roof on.  I clearly remember standing in my church’s sanctuary during a service when the vision came.  It wasn’t a new roof.  It was a building.  
Over the next year, you helped us raise funds, and in March of 2014, we started the project.  The existing building was torn down, and over the next 4 years we raised money, built a little, raised more money, built some more.  
Because of your support, students are learning in those classrooms today and church members are using the space for classes.  Our artisan group, Florecer works weekly in the space that you helped us provide.  Children and families are finding hope through Jesus, and leaders are being developed in that space.  
We are so close to being finished.  The final stage that we have committed to is the completion of a multi-purpose room, kitchen, and bathrooms on the second floor and the soccer field on the third floor.  When finished, this space will be used for our newest soccer outreach as well as for an area for recess for our Casita kids.  
It’s been a long journey hasn’t it?  Who is ready to be finished?!
On October 4, I will turn 50. That sounds so old.  I’m going to be a little selfish here and tell you that what I really want for my birthday is to be able to finish this project.  We have a $3000 match that has been offered and a total of $16,500 to raise.  If we can raise the money during the month of October, the soccer field can be completed and our new league can begin in November.  That’s exciting!
There are a few ways you can give:
  1. Mail a check to Caroline’s Promise, 1950 Beeson Road, Kernersville, NC 27284 and include a note saying it’s for the Building of Promise
  2. Donate on my Facebook Birthday Fundraiser.  You can find the link on our Caroline’s Promise Facebook Page.  Facebook does not charge us processing fees so this is the very best way to give. 
  3. Go to this link and donate.

Will you help us by praying and spreading the word?  Thank you!

Big News! $12,000 Matching Grant Given for 3rd floor Soccer Court Concrete!

Last week we shared a Building of Promise Construction Update We told you that our most pressing need is $20,000 to pour the concrete that will be the ceiling of the second floor and base of the soccer/sport court. This space will be used by our school and church but will also allow us to offer a soccer league to the community as a form of outreach.  We need to pour the concrete ASAP before April rains come.  We are thrilled to announce that a friend of Caroline's Promise has offered a $12,000 Matching Grant toward this project. This means that every $1 you give will be matched, becoming $2. Thank you Jesus!
The soccer/sport court will be here. We can't wait to see kids and families from the community enjoying this space and finding Jesus! Do you see those trees that God planted years ago? We think it was His dream to have this rooftop play space in area where kids can't safely play outside. So he went ahead and planted those trees in advance. 
Will you prayerfully consid…

“Who told you that?”

This is my second mission trip to Guatemala. Last year was an eye-opening and humbling experience for me. Last year I was very nervous about coming and had an overall negative attitude. This year I felt I was being called to come and went in with a more positive attitude. I chose this week to come, because this year I was coming without my mom and brother and I knew both of the leaders, Ruth and Jacey. It turned out the week I chose to come, we were going to be doing a girls retreat. 
We arrived Friday around lunchtime and headed from the airport to Delmi’s so we could get settled in and get lunch and rest before we headed to Shama, a camp in Gerona. We prepared for the girls arrival, some of us helped with decorations and some of us decided to get to sleep early. 

Waking up Saturday morning, I was anxious for the girls to get there. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to make an impact on the girls or that the language barrier would keep me from helping out. 

Then, one of our team …

Will you help Florecer to purchase sewing machines?

Caroline’s Promise artisan group, Florecer, is growing!


Thanks to our new friend, Meredith Ferrell, the group has several new products to make, requiring higher quality sewing machines. We would like to be able to purchase 6 quality sewing machines. The average cost for each machine is $500. We have raised $510 to date. 
Changing the world doesn’t mean giving hand outs. Changing the world means providing jobs, training, education, and sharing Jesus. By partnering with us to purchase sewing machines, you become a world changer. You are making an impact on an artisan’s life. It gives her work. Work gives her income to feed her children and pay tuition and gives her dignity. Worth and dignity. Partnering with us to provide sewing machines brings worth and dignity to women, children, and families living in an impoverished country. Be a world changer!
You can donate here. We appreciate your support!
