Impact Ministries

Impact Ministries is an inter-denominational ministry established in 1997 by a group of educators, administrators and individuals who share a concern for the impoverished and disadvantaged people of Latin America. Impact Ministries is a charitable non-profit society governed by a Board of Directors. Our focus is with the Kekchi and Poqomch people g... roups of Guatemala. In the rural areas around Tactic, more than 80 percent of the people are illiterate and this debilitates and isolates them from the 'outside' world. Impact Ministries' primary goal is to open up the Word of God to these precious people through Christian School Education. The people of Tactic are very, very poor. The average man in Tactic earns a wage of 35 Quetzals ($5.00 Canadian) for an 8 hour day of heavy farm labor, dairy work or cutting and selling firewood. Recently, Guatemala has seen a revival that has brought 35% of the people into evangelical Christianity. Historically, the Mayan people of Rural Guatemala have lived with a polytheistic blend of Roman Catholicism, ancient Mayan traditions and witchcraft, creating an oppressive religious spirit keeping the people in fear, bondage and ignorance. The Light of the World alone can dispel this darkness. Impact Ministries is committed to loving, serving and discipling the people of Tactic.Read More
