October arrived and is swiftly passing by with the first half being more than phenomenal! Please read ahead to learn more in our Praises and Prayer Requests.
PRAISES
- Already this month we have had the privilege of hosting 2 teams. Hosting teams is always such a joy for us, they bring so many blessings and are a wonderful resource for us to serve the community and share more about Christ.
- The last week of September we had a wonderful week with some of our FOI (Friends of Impacto). It was a marvelous time of renewal and refreshing for our soul. It’s humbling and comforting to know we have such a wonderful group of people who love and support us in many tenderhearted ways.
- We praise God for His provision. As we look over the last year we see how He always provides. We are continually amazed by His provision and the many people He chooses to use. Thank you for being obedient to His call and for supporting what He is doing in Guatemala. We are merely instruments that He has so graciously allowed to be part of His plan.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
1 Peter 2:9
PRAYER REQUEST
We are actively raising funds for Zona Cero and Christmas festival. We ask that you prayerfully consider donating towards both of these ministry events. These are the last two events of 2025 and we’d love to go out with a bang! Both Zona Cero [youth camp] and Christmas Festival hold very special places in our hearts.
Through Zona Cero, the number of teens we’ve seen come to the feet of Jesus, turn their lives around, been freed from a life of sin, addiction, witchcraft, and more is vast. With the Christmas Festival, we see unparalleled joy and consolation in so many families as they receive their Christmas baskets and chickens.
We know God will provide, He always does! Although we are feeling a little stressed, we are choosing to trust in Him.
Please pray for these ministries, and if you can, click on DONATE to see just how you can make a gift towards either or both ministry events.
