Check Out Our New Fair Trade Items at Community Events

We are super excited about the beautiful and fun new fair trade items we have this Fall. We make it easy for you to buy fair trade for all of your Christmas gifts! You can always host a Party with a Purpose where we come to your home or church and provide a private sale for you and your friends. Or you can invite us to your special event. Imagine how fun it would be to attend a ladies' Christmas gala and be able to shop with free gift wrap at the same time!

One of the most fun days we had last year was when we set up at a MOPS meetings. These moms were able to shop while their kids were taken care of! How creative!



Our latest item is so much fun! The PhD Pocket Disc is made in Guatemala and makes a great Birthday or Christmas gift for all ages! Think fabric frisbee that you can put in your pocket! They look like Guatemalan Hacky Sacks and come in two sizes. The smaller is for indoor use and the larger can be used outside, flies farther and can be used in the water. When your dog catches it it won't fade in his mouth! PE teachers are loving it because they can teach their students to throw and catch without getting hurt like with a traditional frisbee.

Proceeds from the sale of Pocket Discs will help us build a roof at Casita Adonai. If you would like to help us sell them, contact us and we'll set you up! Small are $9.50 and large are $15.00 Our family is giving these for birthday gifts!

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!

Leaving for Guatemala in less than 8 hours!

Everyone is in a mad dash to get their carryons packed and catch some sleep before we depart at 3am! You read that right, 3 am! It's going to be a long travel day. We'll depart Colfax at 3am, drive to Raleigh, fly to Miami at 6:50am and arrive in Guatemala at 1 in the afternoon. After we collect ALL of our luggage (because you guys have prayed that it all arrives:) we'll load a bus and drive 3-4 hours to Eagle's Nest Children's Home. We appreciate your prayers as the first of 50 people go to Guatemala. Our second week begins July 5th. Specific requests for this first BIG team are unity, good health, safety, and that God blesses our time with kids in churches, schools, the community and at Eagle's Nest. Check out their blog at http://www.boggsministry.com/ We hope to update you daily but we're not quite sure how the internet access will be. Thanks for your prayers:)

$40 can send a teen to camp

  Words can't express how proud we are of the youth from Adonai Church in Guatemala City.  They have worked hard to develop a discipleship and outreach program that is amazing!  In addition, they have been raising funds to attend their high school aged camp November 25-27.  They began months ago by creating banks and teaching on the importance of saving.  From there they hosted a ton of fundraisers and have been able to raise the funds for their youth group to attend camp. Now they need our help!  They would love for 25 of the older teens from their Gerona church plant to attend camp as well.  The cost is $40 per teen and we're looking for a total of $1000. If you would like to partner with the Adonai Youth and support a teen from Gerona, please follow this link.  Thank you for helping us celebrate the Adonai Youth and their hard work, while making a way for the teens in Gerona to attend camp.
