Overview
Mission
We believe that if they come to a personal relationship with God, they will be able to get through any hardship they might face. One of Pastor Luis’ dreams was to lead an organization that hosted missions teams in his home country of Guatemala. In 2004, he founded Impacto, headquartered in La Plata, MD, through New Life Church. Xejuyu [pronounced _shay-hoo -you_], is in San Juan, a small village on the shores of Lake Atitlan. Xejuyu has a 2-story multipurpose building, a pavilion, quadraplex, a pharmacy, a storage building, and a small building for a watchman. These buildings offer areas for Impacto to house teams and interns, prepare and serve meals, hold Stitches of Blessings, training sessions, conferences, Zona Cero Youth Camp, medical clinics, special events, provides a location to start churches and allow them t.
What it reported doing in 2024
Other programs include the following: -happy tummies, an after-school ministry for malnourished and impoverished elementary children, continues to be one of asociacion's most loved ministries. The number one priority at happy tummies is to share the gospel with children, to walk with them and disciple them as they learn about god and his love. Many of the kids that are part of this ministry have tough home lives and will sometimes go a whole day with only a cup of coffee and a tortilla in their tummies. Asociacion prepares a lunch for the children that is delicious, nutritious, and filling as well as giving each child a multiple vitamin. Before they go home, asociacion feeds them a healthy snack and nutrition drink to make sure they go home full. After lunch they must wash their hands and brush their teeth. Teaching them about good hygiene is very important - it is something that is not often taught at home. We know its importance, especially to help cut down on medical issues caused by poor personal hygiene. Once these tasks are completed the children sit for a time of devotions and learning god's word, followed by homework time. The kids spend time doing their school homework under the guidance of asociacoin's licensed and certified teachers who are readily available to go over the homework and provide support when a child is having a hard time grasping a certain subject. This ensures they continue to learn in school and do not fall behind. Many parents did not finish elementary school so at home sometimes the kids do not find the support they need. Asociacion sends the kids home each day with all homework completed so it is less stressful for the parents and for them. Asociacion has a library full of resources with books and computers for the children to work on any school project. We also encourage reading for fun and knowledge. One often heard comment from parents and schoolteachers is how asociacion's happy tummies children's vocabulary is much more advanced than that of their peers we attribute this to the books they read and the way they are taught and allowed to express themselves while at happy tummies. -teams project: asociacion de impacto asociacion finished construction of buildings in the compound known as xejuyu (pronounced shay-who-you). It is now hosting teams project which are short-term missions and internships to share christ with the people of guatemala. In doing so, we hope to be compassionate and lend a helping hand, a listening ear, and a hope for a better future.. We have local sunday church services here and bible studies. Another purpose of this compound is to have a specific area for asociacion's daily abuelitos ministry. Since our abuelitos and happy tummies in san juan village share the same facility, many times our abuelitos are rushed out because the children arrive for happy tummies ministry. Giving the abuelitos their own place has meant that we have more time to spend with them. Women from the stitches of blessings ministry meet here at least monthly. -other ministries to support the organization's exempt purpose
