Chocolate and Running...Sometimes You Need Both!

Hey all! So excited to fill you in on what I have been up to at the Caroline's Promise office. So far, I have had so much fun working with Lisa and coming up with fundraisers for the new school in Guatemala. Right now, we are talking about chocolate and running... only one of which I actually like. Valentines day is coming up and for those of you who are chocolate lovers like me, listen up, we have an little fundraiser that can not only benefit you but also Caroline's Promise and the summer mission projects we have planned! There are some handmade delicious treats we are selling that range from $4-$30 and shipping is available too! Find out more about the chocolate fundraiser on the CP blog under the post "How sweet it is to do something good!"

Secondly, Caroline's Promise has been trying to plan a fundraiser for the spring and we are thinking on putting on a HOPE GROWS: 5K and Family Fun Run! Our mission for the race and walk is to raise money to build a new school for the children at Casita Adonai. We are making it possible for participants to run in honor of a child that came to your family through adoption or a child in Guatemala. Stay tuned to see if God wants us to continue through with this fundraising idea. We are extremely excited and anxiously waiting to put a date on this fundraiser! Please be praying for Caroline's Promise and our efforts for both of these fundraisers. Don't forget to order your chocolate before we RUN out! (pun intended) God Bless and thank you all for your continued support.

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.
