Caroline's Promise News

Several years ago God gave me a dream of teaching welding to young adults  in our partner communities in Guatemala.   You may ask "Why welding?" Well, if you know me and my family, it makes sense. I'm the daughter of a welder.  My Dad, Kenneth Best was the son of a welder and both of his brothers are welders.  Through the years he and my Mom built a successful business that my brother, Brian now runs.  He taught me what it means to have a strong work ethic and I watched his business grow, even in the toughest economy, making a way for him to pay for my college education and most of graduate school. Through the years I would see young men in Guatemala search for a job that paid decent money and over and over I saw them struggle.  If only they could learn how to weld. In January my brother, Brian traveled with me to Guatemala where we met with the Director of the Welding Program at Intecap (technical school).  We were incredibly i...

Happy Birthday Delmi! This amazing woman and her husband Carlos lead the ministry in Guatemala that we partner with.  Once you meet her you immediately love her.  She is strong, passionate and giving and she loves us well. Today is her birthday and we invite you to help us honor her by giving to our  Casita Computer Project.   One of Delmi's biggest dreams is to be able to offer middle school grades at Casita Adonai. Her heart is to offer  a safe, loving environment for these kids to learn, keeping them out of the dangerous public schools for a few more years.   In order to offer middle school grades we need to finish construction of the third floor and complete a ton of paperwork.  We are trusting God to provide all we need and in the meantime we are preparing by setting up the school to educate these older students.  One of the first things we need are additional laptops that will benefit all of the students....

Sarah and her family sponsor a child in Guatemala through Caroline's Promise and they are always looking for creative ways to give even more. For Sarah's 14th birthday she asked her friends to bring vitamins instead of gifts.  She collected 38 bottles of vitamins that will be given to the children who attend our Pediatric Clinic this summer.  Thanks so much Sarah! We are still in need of hundreds of bottles of vitamins before our ship date the end of May.  Here are a few ways you can help us. 1.  Order at Amazon (Be sure to use Amazon Smile so your purchase earns $ for CP) and have them shipped to us at Caroline's Promise, 1950 Beeson Road, Kernersville, NC 27284 2.  Purchase vitamins and deliver to our home office (address above) 3.  Donate online here .  Choose the fund "wherever most needed" and write "vitamins" in the comment box.  We'll order them for you!

One of my favorite verses is found in Ephesians 3:20   I have claimed this verse so many times and God has proven to be faithful.  I believe the key is to make sure that our heart is aligned with His, and to pray.  Confidently and regularly. One of the best ways that you can partner with us at Caroline's promise is to PRAY!! Here are a few things that we are talking to God about this month.  Won't you join us? Summer Teams :  We have about 75 people joining us this summer and we are asking God to prepare their hearts, provide what they need, and work in and through them while  they are with us in Guatemala . Pray for our team leaders to have wisdom and God's heart for the people on their team.  Pray for protection and health and that our team members will come back, changed and committed to the partnership.  Our Partners:  God has given us a beautiful partnership with the Adonai Church in Guatemala and we are asking Hi...
