"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Matthew 9:36
We are halfway through April and wanted to share with you our 'Praises and Requests.' Remember we, the Impacto Staff, keep you lifted in prayer daily.
Praises
Praise the Lord we were able to start on the surrounding wall for the Abuelitos' land!
Thankful that Sarah P. got to spend some much deserved and needed time relaxing--and working--at the beach.
Grateful for the teams that have come to minister alongside Impacto this year.
In awe of how God has provided for Happy Tummies and has multiplied the food daily.
We now have 52 children at Happy Tummies in San Juan and 23 children at Happy Tummies in Panyebar. We are very glad to feed them lunch and we are even more glad to be able to 'feed' them the Word of God daily.
Praising God for some awesome changes going on in the ministry; changes we would not see if it wasn't for His guiding hand.
Abuelitos harvested from the gardens many times in the last couple of months. They, along with the kids, have enjoyed radishes, green beans, chipilin (a common herb), cucumbers, green peas, cilantro, parsley, and carrots ... and there are more to come!
I have a verse for you...
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:7
Requests
Provision for both Happy Tummies sites since we have more children participating in each.
We are in a time of transition and though we see God through it and know that he is leading us, we ask that you pray for God's plan to shine through.
For God to provide to finish the surrounding wall at the Abuelitos' site. The reason we want this site finished soon is because we have a handful of children who will be in middle school next year. This means we'll have about 15 kids at San Juan Happy Tummies each morning and the Abuelitos will need their own space.
For God to touch the hearts of people to come and minister with us to the people of Guatemala.
