Whew! Where does time go?! November is over and while satan hit us with one of the hardest blows we've ever felt, he got the surprise! We didn't break but we became stronger and moved even closer to God. The troubles taught us once again that there is absolutely nothing more powerful than the blood of Jesus. While the month was tough, God's blessings have been greater!

Impacto was part of some really incredible things! Through God's sustaining grace, we held VBS in Zacapa and saw over 500 kids joyously praising God. Many of them gave their hearts to Christ and that is what it's all about! We send our thanks to the Maine and Ohio teams for their hard work and helping to share God's love through this year's VBS!

We also held our annual youth camp, Zona Cero, and had 128 youth participating. It was a great time of learning, prayer, worship, and deliverance. So many chains were broken and so many came face-to-face with Christ! In all these things, we give God all the praise and all the glory!

Thank you to the ones who came from Iowa, Canada, and Tennessee, and to everyone who contributed towards Zona Cero. Without your help and donations, we would not be able to minister to the youth through this annual camp. They look forward to it and so do we! It's a great time in the Lord!

Please continue lifting our staff in prayer as we navigate through a difficult situation. Join us in asking God for a miracle and that He will give us peace and joy in the midst of the storm.

...With which you can extinguish all
the flaming arrows of the evil one.
‭ Ephesians‬ ‭6:16‬

Less than 24 hours ago we said goodbye to 130 youth (not counting counselors, workers, and staff) that came to our annual youth camp, Zona Cero. This was our 7th consecutive camp. From the start we didn’t want this to be a camp where the priority was to “have fun.” Our vision was to host a camp where the youth would be transformed or a seed would be planted. Here I want to share some of the highlights of our theme this year, The Armor of God . And, if you want to give yourself some room to grow, I encourage you to analyze each of the pieces of the Armor.

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:14-17 NIV

After being submerged in this theme for the last week, more than 20 youth came to Christ; and many of them decided to follow Christ closer than ever before.

In this world we live in we need to make sure to dress ourselves in the Armor of God every day.

If you’d like to talk with me more about this I’d love for you to email me.

God Bless,
Pastor Luis
