My Home in Ecuador

This summer I will be living in Curia, Ecuador and working in both Curia and nearby San Jose. Check out the Guerrero's website, Helping Hands Across Ecuador, to find more information about where I will be. www.helpinghandsacrossecuador.org

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

6 Days!!
It has come so fast.

I am wrapping up school and starting to pack for Ecuador.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support and love. I have been showered with financial support and clothes and craft donations. I have reached my support goal! Thank you so much for allowing God to use you in serving alongside me in Ecuador this summer. Because of you kids will be impacted for Christ this summer.

My school, Point University, hosted a clothes drive just for Ecuador. So many clothes were donated that they would not fit in my trunk. New Hope Baptist Chruch and Spring Road Christian Church have been so gracious with craft supplies!

This past Saturday I met with the group that I will be serving with in Ecaudor from Georgia Tech's Christian Campus Fellowship (CCF). Fourteen of us will be leaving on Sunday, May 6 at 6:30 am. We will have a 10 hour layover in Miami then fly into Guayaquil, Ecuador. The CCF team will be in Ecuador for 2 weeks. The whole team will be living at the home of Carlos and Jeanette Guerrero, the missionaries I will be living with for the whole summer. We will repair a bridge, play softball with the neighborhood kids, have a community outreach dinner, help in the local schools, and do whatever else is needed. After 2 weeks my friends from Georgia Tech will leave and I will stay behind and continue what we start.


Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!


More to come from Ecuador!

28 More Days

Twenty eight more days and I will be off to Ecuador. I just found out that I will be teaching English in the local elementary school. I am so excited to be able to gain experience in the classroom and love on the kids that I will be teaching. NOW I just have to learn Spanish. I CANNOT WAIT!

Ecuador Support Letter

After returning home from Kenya in August, I knew that I would never be the same. God stretched me and taught me so much that I immediately began praying about His plan for the upcoming summer. Each semester at Point University, our classes are cancelled for a day so students and faculty are able to participate in Ministry Day. Alan Kemper, a professor with whom I was working that day, mentioned that he knew of a mission opportunity serving with Carlos and Jeannette Guerrero (missionaries in Ecuador who are supported by Savannah Christian Church) that might interest me. As he explained the ministry, I was immediately drawn to the possibility of serving in Ecuador, but over the next couple of months, I struggled with understanding exactly what God was telling me to do. As I prepared to attend the National Missionary Convention in Atlanta this past November, I shared my confusion with a friend who said something that has forever changed my life. She said that when she thought of me, she thought missionary! I was caught off guard, but quickly realized that God had used her to define who I am. God has called me to use my life for His glory, to share his love through missions. I am a missionary.

After attending the National Missionary Convention, I knew for sure that God was calling me to serve him in Ecuador this summer. So from May 6 to July 15, I will be working in San Jose and Curia, Ecuador, with the Guerrero’s ministry, Helping Hands Across Ecuador.

The ministry works to positively impact education, hunger, and health. I will be spending the first two weeks with a team from the Christian Campus Fellowship (CCF) from Georgia Tech. After the CCF team leaves, I will remain in Ecuador and minister to the community and the members of the church through small groups, children’s ministry, and Vacation Bible School. I will also assist short term teams from the United States.

Without your prayer support, I cannot minister to the people of San Jose and Curia effectively. Please pray for the people I will encounter and the relationships I will make. Pray that the hearts of the people of San Jose and Curia will be receptive to God’s word. Your financial contribution is also important. I am confident that God will provide the necessary funds as I must raise $3500 to cover airfare, room and board. Should you feel led to partner with me in this endeavor, please make out your check to GTCCF with “Kaitlyn Groover – Ecuador Mission Trip” printed on the memo line. All contributions are tax deductible. Gifts may be mailed to:

Thank you so much for your prayerful consideration of this ministry in Ecuador. I am so excited to partner with you in serving the people of San Jose and Curia.
