Praises & Requests                                                                  May 2016
Praises

Please join us in rejoicing in these praises:
  • We praise God for lending us Bryce for the past three years. He will be greatly missed but we rejoice knowing he is following God's path.
  • Praise God, we will start working on the water cistern at the Happy Tummies School site within the next couple of weeks.
  • Because He is faithful!
  • For the outpouring of love and support from our donors.
  • We praise Him because we are seeing the difference in the lives of children and their families through Happy Tummies.
  • For all the mothers! Some are biological mothers and others are those who have raised, helped raise, are raising, or helping to raise children with love, patience, kindness, and wisdom that comes from the Lord.
Their Tummies Can't Wait

Many of you have heard of the public school in Panyebar where we will be starting a Happy Tummies site. Though we are using the school building the cistern needs to be made and the kitchen needs to be redone. In the kitchen, there are no countertops, cupboards, or appliances. The water seeps in and, to put it in laymen's terms, the kitchen is a mess. We are, praise God, starting on the water cistern within the next few days. 

This ministry is not fully funded, yet we hope and pray that in 2017 for the new school year we will be feeding 180+ children daily. However, God put in our hearts to start something now. But, feeding this many children doesn't happen overnight. After much consideration and prayer we, the Impacto staff, have decided to start feeding the children a nutritious drink and bread with peanut butter twice a week. On these days the children also will be told a Bible Story! Though we are eager to feed the children a whole meal daily we know that easing in with a snack a few times a week will really help our staff, the teachers, children, and supervisors acclimate to this new ministry. If you have a team joining us this summer and want to sponsor this snack the day your team visits the school, it would be a great blessing.

We are excited to see what God does through this ministry in the lives of the children, teachers, and families of this school. To Him be the glory!
Prayer Requests

Please join us in praying for each of these requests:
  • Prayers that God will touch the right person's heart to come work with Impacto...someone who has a passion for growing the Kingdom.
  • That God may see us through this transition and that we will know how and when to follow His will.
  • Pray that God may provide monthly donors for our staff; they are not fully funded.
  • We also need monthly supporters towards the ministry in general. 
  • Prayers that God will give us all physical and spiritual strength for the coming months.
  • Please join us in praying that we may serve merely as a tool for God's Kingdom.

I have a verse for you...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own under-standing; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."   Proverbs 3:5-6

Celebrating Mother's Day in Shalom Church, San Juan. Last year their women's group was almost nonexistent. To God's glory, we have seen the group grow with many attending the weekly Bible Study led by Dinora.
