We are 2 weeks into our summer season and already 65 souls came to Christ and many, many seeds were planted! All glory be to God! It’s always such a blessing to host teams; we enjoy watching them bless others and we enjoy watching them be blessed just the same. We praise God and are so thankful to each team that comes to minister alongside Impacto. Each team adds something to the ministry. Each team plants seeds. Each team brings someone closer to Christ. Each team makes a difference. Each team is used by God. Thank you for coming to minister alongside us, thank you for obeying His call to the Great Commission.
 
Please join us in praising God and crying out to Him with the praises and requests below.

Stitches of Blessings
 
Stitches of Blessings is 7 years old! This ministry, like our other ministries, is so special. Each year we prayerfully chose 15-20 women to participate. We meet with the women once a month for two mornings (8am-12pm). This allows them to be home and tend to their families for lunch. Each month we work on a new project. During the months of June, July, and August we will usually meet more often as different teams bring new projects for the women to work on. The women love spending time with the teams, forming friendships and bonds, and hearing their different testimonies. Half of the women in the class are believers; the other half are not. Before starting each class, we have a time of devotions and prayer. We do this in the hope that those who are nonbelievers will come to know Christ, confess with their mouths that He is their Lord and Savior and form a relationship with Him.
 
In 7 years, we have been able to give 121 sewing machines with the hope of empowering each woman who has received one. This means that there are 121 families who, we hope, have been impacted for good by Stitches of Blessings. 
Cornelio (Cornelius)
 
This is Abuelito Cornelio. If you’ve been here, you know Cornelio loves to hug and kiss. He is so affectionate and so grateful for the love being poured into him that he is just itching to give it back. So, if you’ll be here later this year enjoy Cornelio and all the hugs and kisses he’ll be anxious to give! 
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36
