Caroline's Promise News

Wilson Community Church sent 17 team members to serve at Casita Adonai and Gerona the last week in July. Among all of the amazing moments of the trip, here are a few highlights:                    In Gerona, the team was able to take part in the first Quinceañera!

What can we say about Wilson Community Church?  Several years ago we connected with Tripp and Buffy Poole, who live in Wilson, NC, and adopted their son, Hunter, from Guatemala. They were eager to get involved with Caroline's Promise and give back to their son's birth country. The first year, they took a team from their church, led by one of our board members, Tami Rumfelt. The second year, Tripp and Buffy led the team and Tami assisted them. This year they led their team of nineteen without a CP rep on site, and we are hearing great things about their team and all that was accomplished. We want to thank their pastor, Gary Combs, for his vision for these teams and for his work this summer leading our first pastors' conference in Guatemala. And to Tripp and Buffy and their leadership team, thank you for your willingness to organize your church and minister so effectively. Check out this wrap up video from their recent trip!
