A Meaningful Impact


We've mentioned that one of the three teams serving in Guatemala this summer was an all-girls team. The uniqueness of that team allowed us to care for a special group of girls in Guatemala that are already serving in leadership positions in their church and community. The all-girls team loved on them and cared for them at a retreat camp.

The camp was a special time of fun, healing and learning about God's great love for each girl. Some of the girls who attended the camp shared in their church service at Iglesia Adonai about how the camp impacted them.
Here is what one person said:"The service on Sunday was awesome, There were 22 girls, we had 15 minutes to talk and Silvia and Madeline shared their personal testimony and how the camp helped them... All the girls said how the camp impacted them in one word... Forgiveness, Love, Share, Be near to God, Happiness, God's love, was a blast, harmony, strength...those were some words the girls said. Anna Roco and I talked about how Caroline's promise helped to sponsor all of us... we sang and praised to the Lord!! Thank you Jesus for the huge blessing."




Not only did the Lord do a work in the lives of our Guatemalan sisters, but the camp also impacted the girls on the team. Click here to see what they had to say.

Caroline's Promise would especially like to thank everyone who sponsored a girl for camp. A big thank you to Boni Russell for her t-shirt design, and to Logo Wear Graphics of Summerfield who printed the shirts.

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.
