Happy Birthday Caroline!

Nine years ago today David and I were in Guatemala, returning to the city from a week of ministry at Lake Atitlan. I knew that we were close to a referral of a baby girl from Guatemala and that Friday I could not get her birth mother off my mind. My heart broke for this woman I did not know yet, understanding that she was probably close to delivery. All I knew that day was that God was asking me to pray for her.

Several days later after we had returned home we received the call from our adoption agency that our baby girl had been born! When David asked "what day?" he was not surprised to learn that it had been that Friday, the day that we spent on that bus.

We have always shared this story with Caroline as a testimony to God's timing. He knew that she was our daughter and he had us IN Guatemala on the day she was born!

That was nine years ago and we can't imagine life without her. Today she will spend her birthday, celebrating in her beautiful birth country, Guatemala. What a blessing to be able to give her opportunities to love and be loved by the amazing people of Guatemala.

Feliz Cumpleanos Caroline!

Mission team member's "idea" + Facebook Fundraiser = Jobs in San Nicolas

Our last team to Guatemala was in November of 2019. That seems impossible but it's true. The primary focus of the team was a pediatric medical clinic that was hugely successful. However, that wasn't the only seed that was planted that week in the community of San Nicolas. Wanda King has been going to Guatemala with Caroline's Promise for years. We can always count on her to bring hand sanitizer, goodie bags that she and her sister make for everyone, and lots of love! One of the things I love most about Wanda is that she is willing to step in and do anything that is asked of her. A few weeks before this trip she asked if she could bring a set of hair cutting supplies. I didn't know if there was a need, but I knew that Wanda felt strongly that she should bring them and so I said "of course!" Little did we know the impact that one idea would make. Wanda spent most of that week teaching our partner, Monica how to cut hair. We quickly realized that
