Mission: Our mission is to train Guatemalans for leadership by teaching Biblical principles in such a way that they become integrated in their lives and effect spiritual change in their society and to impact North American Christians for world missions.
Results: Impact Ministries lives out its mission by building and operating the Vida Christian Schools. There are over 1,500 students receiving a Christian education in the six elementary schools, three junior high schools, one senior high school, and an after school program. The teachers and support staff are personally involved in each child’s life, providing godly role models and helping them to know the Lord and become all He intends for them to be. Impact Ministries is involved in supporting the growth and development of the Rio de Vida Church in Tactic. Sunday services have an average attendance of 300-350, with many new believers living a life of testimony to the work the Lord is doing in this community. Impact Ministries also supports two congregations that have grown out of the Vida Christian School ministry in Purulhá and Mocohan. Impact Ministries offers opportunities for North Americans to support Christian development through Child Sponsorship, Short-Term Missions, and several Giving programs. Through the prayerful support of individuals in Canada and the USA, Impact Ministries is able to open up the Word of God to the precious people in Guatemala and present them with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
