It seems unreal that summer is coming to an end! We’ve said this in our last newsletters, but our staff still has a hard time believing we did not have the privilege of hosting any teams this summer. We trust in the Lord and know He is sovereign, but as humans, it’s hard to see the full magnitude of His plans. Nevertheless, we know who He is and who we are in Him, we will continue to commit ourselves to sharing the Gospel here in Guatemala.

Below we’d like to share a few Praises for you to rejoice alongside us and a few Requests for you to bring to the feet of Jesus with us. 
  • We are continuing to serve daily meals through Happy Tummies To Go. We’ve added a few new families and everyone is very happy and thankful for the meals. We’ve heard testimonies of families who are struggling to eat daily and the meals and food bags we have been able to provide have been a tremendous help. We have seen, as Pastor Luis calls it, the ripple effect reach far. It’s nice to see the families we are able to help turn around and help others, who in return help others, and so on. We give all the glory to God and thank Him daily for wonderful, giving, Christ-like supporters. 

  • This brings us to our next praise, we are immensely grateful to each of our supporters, donors, and prayer partners! We praise God for you daily! You are a vital part of Impacto. God is using you in great ways.

  • As many of you know we have land behind Xejuyu (Abuelito’s land) that had not been fenced in. Due to COVID-19 all construction had stopped. This month we have been able to start the work on the surrounding wall. We still can’t start full construction but it’s nice we’re able to get this wall done. This will allow us to have more land to be able to plant crops for now and in the future enlarge Xejuyu for many, many ministries. 

  • Praise God for providing through crops these last few months. Our biggest crop is corn as we use about 130+ pounds weekly to make tortillas for both Happy Tummies and Abuelitos.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. 
Psalm 34:6-7
  • The towns around the lake are starting to see a rise in COVID-19 cases and we are hearing a lot of different ‘news’. The situation we are living in has made it hard to know what is true and what is false.. We are praying for discernment for the church all around the world; and, that we may all be a light in these times of darkness.

  • Join us in praying for a miracle, to see this virus disappear. There are still so many souls that need to know about Jesus. Pray that we are able to share the Gospel with as many people as we can in the most sincere, pure, and powerful way.
 
  • Let us pray for all those around the world who have lost their job in the last few months. We are seeing great financial needs here in Guatemala, as well as all over the world. We pray that God, our Provider, will hear our cries. 

  • Pray for our staff in the United States who still cannot come to Guatemala as our airport is still closed. We are all feeling the need to be reunited and at work side by side again. We are asking God to fill us with peace and patience as we wait on His timing. 
New Website!

We are so excited to announce the launch of our new website! It has been a project that has taken a lot of work, time, sweat, and even some tears. However, we are so excited to share this new site with all of you. As we worked on our new website we had to make sure we were being compliant with our fairly new 501c3 status. This meant we had a lot of editing to do throughout this project. One of those areas we had to rewrite quite a few times was our DONATE section. We want to be very clear that our ministries are the same, our goals and purposes are the same; we just ask that you bear with us as our wording had to change. Below you will find a rundown of how you can continue to support each ministry. 

We would like to take this moment to kindly ask that you consider giving towards our general fund. We are committed to sound stewardship and using your gift to deliver the most effective solutions for alleviating malnutrition and suffering while sharing the Good News. Expenditures go to carrying out our ministry projects. In order to use our resources in the most effective manner possible, giving to the general fund allows us to direct your contribution to the greatest need or highest priority in our general purposes. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to us and we will answer the best we can. Thank you for being with us through this process of achieving our 501c3. We pray that through this status we will be able to continue honoring and glorifying God’s name.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
