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 Poqomchí people groups 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. Guatemala has seen a revival that has brought 35% of the people into evangelical Christianity. Tactic, on the other hand, has been dominated by a religion that combines Roman Catholicism, ancient Mayan traditions and witchcraft. This oppressive religious spirit has kept them in fear, bondage and ignorance. Impact Ministries is committed to loving, serving and discipling the people of Tactic . |
